Boiling hot water
destroyed my hand knit sweater.
It’s horrifying!

Isn’t it comforting to know that when you shrink your own hand knit sweater, you keep alive a tradition that goes back centuries?

Yes, our foremothers and forefathers shrank sweathers. Laundry disasters will likely be with us always!

Stumble it (and place in Knitting/crochet!)

1. If it weren’t for shinkage, there wouldn’t be felt, heh. Look how that has come back into fashion.

2. Don’t toss it out. If it felted enough let a Teddy Bear wear it!

3. I especially enjoy the testimonials by such celebrities as “daughter-in-law” and “young son”

4. I noticed you haven’t posted in a bit. Hope things are going well in your neck of the woods.

5. I wouldn’t have expected to see it written WoolFoam instead of Wool Foam or Woolfoam, thought that was a contemporary convention.

   This reminds me to be grateful that no longer does all laundry advertising assume only women do laundry and to appreciate that I don’t know anyone with a Speed Queen.

7. Is it just me or does the “teenage” daughter look like she is 30 something?
