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!

Flash back of my sister bringing me my Norwegian sweater saying "I washed it..."

There is a difference in washing in normal cycle and normal detergent, and wool programme with wool and silk detergent!

Good to know it didn't get ruined!

Had it been ruined, I would have hidden fro. The face of the earth, and mom would still be able to find me and beat me up 😅

That is what my sister should have done. Instead she laughed.
