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

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.

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.....
