I started looking at my craft books and magazines and stopped at "The Official Knit-A-Dress-A-Day Knitting Book" by Joan Rattner, Women's Editor, This Week Magazine, 1968.
The knitting is done on Reynold's Jumbo Jets-a needle with a 3 inch circumfirence. There are some for sale on Ebay.
I was thinking I don't need this book, but there is something that made me pay a $.95 for it (original price was a dollar) and I think I'll have to keep it awhile longer as it just makes me smile. It doesn't really take up much room.
Maybe I'll find some Reynold's Jumbo Jets at the swap meet or a thrift store. Who knows?

OMG! that knit a dress a day book is retro-fantastic! (btw, i just thought of that word.) dude, i would knit those and wear it in public :) hee hee...
They look like The Charlie's Angels Do Knit! ;-) What a fun find! I wish I could de-clutter like you. I'm such a pack rat. I say it's because I'm sentimental, but really, I can't keep using that excuse to justify saving 20 year old used envelopes. :-)
Those dresses are so tempting...I was sitting here thinking "hmmm...mini version for the girls? They'd love that!" when girl #1 walked in and said "Ewwww, why did they do that?"
So I guess, no dress here, but it is good to know they are preserved somewhere.
