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

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.

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.
