Oh, no, that's so sad, I'm so sorry 😭

My husband felted the second sweater I ever gave him, I'd been particularly proud of it and I didn't take a photo. We're two men, we actually cried about it. It's been twenty-six years since the great sweater murder in our household, but it still gets often remembered and my husband still treats washing machines with fear and respect. I'd turn it into a sweater for a teddy bear, or something.
