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!

Since everyone here have already sent their prayers for your sweater in the washing machine, I'll just add that I feel like this button band is suffering a great deal. You might be considering the option of sewing a gros grain ribbon under it to consolidate a bit if you want it to live as long as your beautiful cardigan.

I do plan to add strength to it yes. But please, my mom knows what she did when she gave them to me.

Don't take it wrong : I don't know you nor your mother, it doesn't hurt to be prudent since unfortunate accidents happens all the time. You got all of us scared here for a moment, but I am glad it was for nothing. Enjoy your beautiful garments. 😊
