On to the fun... Have I ever shared my love of vintage picture knits? Well, I adore them. Knit O Graf, Mary Maxim, you name it, if it's from the 50s or 60s and it's a picture knit, well I am a sucker for it. Which is not to say that I have actually knit anything of this particular genre. A while back I had a pattern buying binge on eBay.

Something for the adults:
And the icing on the cake, bonnets for girls, "helmets" for boys! And if you're afraid of your little boy looking like a sissy, how about a handgun helmet, circa 1952? Too bad it's not sized to go with the deer sweater.
Anyone have a good recommendation for a soft wool yarn at 6 stitches to the inch on US#3s? I really want to make the plaid bonnet!

How about Baby Cashmerino? Or Cashsoft DK?
Dale Baby Ull? These are delectable.
Jeez, those are funny. I can't imagine a time when it would have been cool to wear a "helmet" with a gun knitted into the side.
And I hear you on feeling like you suck at this--not that I think you suck even remotely--but sometimes it really feels like my grownup suit doesn't fit very well. I try to believe that everybody feels that way, and probably no one notices too much when I screw up, since they're so preoccupied with how they're screwing up too. At least that's what I tell myself... Here's hoping!
LOL Oh my gosh! That gun helmet would go well with that deer sweater. I might be laughing for a while at this one :)
You don't suck--you are doing too much to suck! You are managing amazingly well with the amount of stuff you're doing!
The pics are hilarious.
Thank you for sharring
