My suggestion, if you need one, is to convert that felted sweater into something else, even a toy. My Mom 'helped' me by doing the wash for me while I was sick and felted my second knitted sweater. After I got over the agony (a couple of years), I cut it up and made it into a sweater for my cousin's son and knitted new (washable) ribbing for Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588395572203016231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12107496.post-27999541716568481682008-06-23T17:25:00.000-04:002008-06-23T17:25:00.000-04:00Ooooohhhh love the nails.Ooooohhhh love the nails.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00121363150054639517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12107496.post-59380172515323531022008-05-15T01:51:00.000-04:002008-05-15T01:51:00.000-04:00Your parents remind me very much of my own :-) My ...Your parents remind me very much of my own :-) My dad is also about a feet taller than my mom :-D<BR/>And I'm really happy she can use his sweater :-)Ketutarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817006362006690145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12107496.post-11907166976219475142008-05-12T15:36:00.000-04:002008-05-12T15:36:00.000-04:00Oh I remember that picture!
