Tagseye candy friday
Perhaps the most self-indulgent eye candy friday of all, but it actually has some knitting content, and most eye candys don’t. Check it out: My mom knit the sweater I’m wearing! Yes, this is a photo of me. It was my own idea to push up the cuffs so high, she tells me (I have zero recollection of this). I’m about 4 1/2 years old here; the photo was taken–or rather, developed–in July 1982. I just love the colors in this shot.
Edited to add: I just realized that this shot is totally Project Spectrum appropriate!

Wonderful picture!
Aww! Remember when having a butterfly painted on your face was just the be-all and end-all of happiness?
Cute! You look like you are planning on getting even for having your picture taken or are planning some sort of trouble. ;)
You’re such a cutie! You’re right — the colors in this shot are great. They’re so vibrant.
Whose idea was it to match the chair to your clothes? Very cute!
aww so very cute.
i was a freshman in college that year :o
I think you just wanted to have butterfly sleeves to match your facial butterflies! The cuteness factor is overwhelming….
I’m smitten. I’m also impressed — the sleeve choice is so stylish! (I think I spent all of 1982 in overalls…)
i say let’s bring the sleeve style back.
What a beautiful happy picture of you!
I like your touch of the pouffy sleeves.
I love that the colours in your (very stylish) outfit match the webbing in the chair!
I love how you match the chair. I was in highschool in 1982…
Cute as a button! I’ll try to remember your scrunched up sleeves when my daughter wants to do goofy things with her clothes.
that is so freakin cute! i like how your outfit matches your lawn chair. very classy!
Awwww…..you were a cute kid! The sweater is beautiful. I see where you got your talent for knitting!
Heh. That’s pretty cute. At least you don’t have a Punky Brewster pigtail and pegged white jeans? Kidding…
Your clothes match the lawn chair :) I love this picture. And the poof sleeves are a nice little fashion statement!
What a great shot to have! That yellow is fabulous and it’s very cool to see that you already had such a great sense of style at 4 1/2 (referring to your alterations of the design by pushing up the cuffs) haha.
So cute! You’re right, the colors are great. And I love the impish expression on your face!
You have a little mischievous expression on your face, love it! I spent most of 1982 wearing pink. It was a travesty.
What a great picture!! I love seeing pictures of friends when they were little. :) Thanks!!
What a cutie! I love those 70’s / early 80’s color combos. totally sesame street!
Awwww :)
I remember the pattern called for size “00” needles! I couldn’t find them that small so I just made the sweater on size “0”. Which is like knitting with angel hair pasta! But worth it for such a cute kid!
XO Mom
Oh CUTE! You really did coordinate with that chair!
Well, here’s proof that you’ve always been a fashionista! I dig the face painting/tattoo.
You look like you’re up to no good in that pic. I guess not much has changed ;-)
HAH! That’s great!
Very cute! I graduated from high school in 1982. I feel old!
Awwww, so cute!!! My Papa had that same lawn chair. the ’80s were so special.
Too cute!!! Wow, a sweater on size 0’s…man…that is love! :)
Very cute – both you and the sweater!
OH. MY G-D.
The cuteness! It is killing me!
Awwwww, what a bright spark!
Oh my gosh! How cute are you? I love that mischievous look. And the pigtails–the sweet, sweet pigtails.
Totally adorable, you have clothes on that colour-coordinate with the chair!!
What an adorable child. Still a princess.
so cute — that folding chair is priceless.
That is soooo cute! What a keepsake photo!
I know I am late on this, but your skirt is totally awesome! Fantastic job, and it looks fantastic on you!
Wow, did you ALWAYS dress to match the furniture?
You’re totally adorable, of course, and I love the distinct fashion sense you imposed on your clothing. :)
Cuter than cute…you remind me of my neice Sarah at that age.
