Supermodels for hand knitting

This post over on my tumblr has been getting a fair bit of attention, obviously because of who's modeling the ultra hip skirt suit on the pattern.

In case you don't recognize her, it's Twiggy.  She was a very popular model in the late 1960s. If you weren't alive back then, you may have seen her more recently on America's Next Top Model a few seasons (oh sorry, I mean cycles) ago.

Who knew that knitting pattern leaflets could nab such big names?
