Goodbye, Green Sweater


Once upon a time, there was a sweater. It was made of wool, kinda scratchy, and was bought at the dollar store. Rumor had it the sweater was vintage, but there was no way to be sure. The sweater wasn't talking.

It had a yoke with four colors! And three buttons! It was a preppy's delight. Unfortunately, the neckline came up a bit too far and was a little too tight. Plus, it was scratchy. So despite it being a comfortable cat bed ...

The sweater had to go. Happily, most of the pieces came apart without much trouble -- except the yoke, which would probably have to be felted. Halfway to its new life as balls of yarn, the sweater looked like this:
What will the sweater be in its next life? Stay tuned and see!
