This past Satarday I went to a nearby flea market and found several darling, vintage 1960s knitting pattern booklets.  They are so awesome with the dramatic poses and the Jane Jetson inspired hairdos.  The patterns are pretty choice also.

The thing that stood out the most were the men with pipes clenched firmly in their square jaws.   Of course, considering that pipe smoking can be a contributor lip and tongue cancers, that might not be the best way to preserve that masucline visage.  But, it looked cool at the time and that’s what mattered.

Take a peek at some of these fellows puffing away.  Also I’ve included a couple of the lovely ladies.  I think the changing room girl is channeling Goldie Hawn — though she would have preferred a mod mini dress to smart little knit twinset (images open up larger in new browser or tab):
