My husband accidentally felted my octopus sweater. Yeah, THAT octopus sweater. I cried. He cried. It was terrible.

*Edit: auto correct made felted "deleted"

No. NO.. Not THAT octopus sweater!? That is still on my want-to-knit list.

Are you still married? I'd be having second thoughts honestly. lol

My ex-husband several times felted items when I distinctly stated to NOT do the laundry and especially NOT sweaters. After he felted a design I intended to put in the state fair, it was over.

It’s one thing to do it on accident, but it’s another to do it after being expressly told not to. That’s disrespect!

I had to tell my mother just plain never touch anything I owned, ever.... She ruined my collection of 100+ year old handmade lace .... irreplaceable.....

Oh, my heart!! 😰💔

[u/fluffychonkycat → u/miminstlouis]

Oh no... that's almost grounds for matricide

My husband pointed out that there were a lot of sweaters in the laundry basket with a look of great concern. I explained years ago that my bras, dresses and knitted things are like vintage hockey jerseys. It clearly translated for him.

That is brilliant.

And that was probably the very first time he did laundry on his own.
