    Thank you,  I wonder if the younger people recognise it,  Starsky & Hutch?

    I knit my husband a plain black one back in the day. I have never seen a garment get so much love/wear/abuse. 
    It was demoted so many times that it eventually became an extra blankie for over his feet in his damp, mouldy student digs! He's probably still wearing it in he££ wherever his afterlife took him. 🤐
  • Oooohhh... nice @SherwoodArrow. Very neat and tidy and no puckers! Lully!

    I bought OH a T shirt with that phrase. According to number two son he officially has a library; the two of them counted one Sunday afternoon.  🤣
    I can’t take any credit for the phrase or book shelf pattern, I came across it on Pinterest and thought it was perfect for my friend, so I had a go. She has just come back from a holiday with 20 new books so I think it’s right!
    I too love books and have loads but definitely not a libraries worth 😂.

    @Lyn  Golly!  I knitted one like that for me in the 1970s !!  I loved Starsky and Hutch!  Don't now where it is now - got lost in the many moves across the seven seas.  It looked great with jeans or a skirt and boots.  

    Great job - I also appreciate the work and expense that has gone into that garment.  It will be treasured.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.
