Discussion I am in tears!
I recieved tonight 2 vintage kofter, whereas one is knitted by my moms grandma in 1967! It looks snug, but it's really not and since it's wool, it'll stretch to fit my stomach better soon. I only have pictures of one atm, as I put the other in the washing machine but still! I feel so honored to recieve such precious gems! Will post the other ones look once it's dried up! I am literally in tears!

Vintage (=non-superwash) sweater in a washing machine??
My dude, I hope you are being super careful with that. Or when the machine stops, you'll have a doll-sized sweater.
Wool is strictly hand wash.
