Starsky Cardigans

Rennie – Hi people, I don’t know about you but apart from the platform shoes my fave fashion item had to be the Starsky jumper. I really loved t and would love another so if anyone still has the knitting pattern and a nan who can knit let me know

Aelf – I’ve a nan who can knit as long you want knee warmers too and your arms are 4 feet long.

Imp – I actually knitted a starsky jumper for one of my brother in laws, think I got the knitting pattern out of the Jackie magazine which was full of really cool stuff, lots of posters and the Cathy and Claire page for teenage problems. In fact I think I still have a couple of the annuals around. If I find the pattern I’ll email it to you Rennie LOL.

Rennie – ROFLOL Now do I look like a bloke who can knit????? I have trouble tying shoelaces

Imp – I’m sure you could learn Rennie!!! If I can do it anyone can LOL, but wouldn’t shoe lace art be macrame?

Mark UK – Well if you can knit cant you knit one for him and stop him moaning about it once and for all.

Imp – Last time I knitted anything was that Starsky Jumper who knows what any attempt would turn out like now….. probably a Starsky Dress with 4 arms or something… would you like one like that Rennie??

Rennie – sounds interesting Imp, I could always tie the ends of the spares and use them as beer carriers!!

Rennie – FOUND ONE!!!! Ebay has one minus the belt aaaargh!!!!

Awombleforever – Wanna see those shoes rennie,there very glam,just put in 70s shoes in search,I dont think they will go with your cardigan though

Rennie – 13 quid and rising whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Awombleforever – what your cardi?

Rennie – just type in starsky cardigan 17 quid now Anyone here who can knit pattern is there for one!!!!

Rennie – Bidding on the pattern now. Might get some made up for prizes!!!!

Awombleforever – I don’t knit well enough for that .What about charity shops they might have what you want,after looking at the price of some things on ebay makes me wanna go there now

Rennie Eeeeeek those are razzle dazzlers… not my size tho ;(

Awombleforever Rennie what size are you,you don’t wanna buy a pair of possibly fake andy warhol trainers do you,brand new and unworn.They are orange and purple print,very 70s

Rennie – sounds very groovy shoes there I’m a little size 7

Awombleforever – Too big for you then Rennie,there a size 9,too small for my husband and my son who bought them off ebay refuses to wear them as he says there fake,kids of today do my head in.They are very nice though a bit girly but men of today don’t seem to mind that

Rennie – Yay I won the pattern for the Cardigan….. now who can knit?

Rennie – Also the highest bidder for the cardigan. 41 quid Wonder how long that will last.
*waits with bated breath*

Hattie – I can knit Rennie Only trouble is really slowly, it wouldnt be finished till the year 2010!!
Think you can take patterns into some knitting shops and you pay them to knit it for you

Rennie – lol ok Hatts thanks for the offer…

Awombleforever – £41 for an old cardi I’m in shock. I can knit to but Id be slow,the patterern might not look the same either I can knit big chunky jumpers with huge needles,that OK.Have still got some I made earlier.

Rennie – a very nice chunky thing

Hattie – Crikey ……. would take till 2015 to knit that one

Rennie – *laughing* c’mon Hatts knit one pearl one knit one pearl one”

Rennie – “Guess who won the Starsky Cardy too!!!!!!
So I have a Cardy minus the belt and the pattern. Who can knit a belt for me in time for Butlins?

Awombleforever – Well done Rennie how much did you pay?

Rennie – 41 quids…. but well worth it I think. Got to track down a wool belt to go with it now.
Any more luck with your bed getting?

Hattie – Well done getting that Rennie lol there must be a cream belt out there somewhere ……Hatts

Tanktop – £41 pound and you can’t afford a cheep microphone to keep in touch with yer old matie, strewth you is getting like someone I know

Rennie – lol you got me there Tank, you could have always bought me one out of your Bingo winnings.

Tanktop – Tank a bingo player who’s been spreading such rubbish

Hattie – So the big question is Did Rennie get to wear his Starsky cardi at the seventies weekend??
