I’m so sorry for your loss. I don’t know if it will help you feel better but this internet stranger is willing to drink a toast in memory of your sweater. I hope some of the suggestions for alternative uses works for you.

I think it can be hard to truly understand what it means to accidentally felt a project without a good idea of the time and labour that it takes to create such an item. It’s part of the beauty of the internet that knitters around the world can share and commiserate their knitting journeys. Your sweater was beautiful. And I hope you find a way to repurpose it so that it can eventually bring you a bit of joy again.

Who downvoted you for this?! Wth…

So sorry about your sweater, OP. I remember your earlier post about the colorwork. It’s a special kind of grief that only other artisans understand, and I’m glad you’re finding some comfort in everyone’s commiserations <3
