I know my kids treasure the sweaters that they know Grandma Millie made. My grandmother, their greatgrandmother. The older two remember her, the youngest doesn't but she was only 2 when she died. All of them own a sweater she made tho, and they think it's very special to have something from her. Caryn LOL! I don`t somehow think that any of my six grandsons would treasure girlie coloured fluffy mohair sweaters! I know what you mean, though. At least some of those grandsons will have wives and daughters... Elizabeth By that time the moths will probably have got to them! (the sweaters, obviously!) Pat P |

"Pat P" wrote LOL! I don`t somehow think that any of my six grandsons would treasure girlie coloured fluffy mohair sweaters! I know what you mean, though. Oh, I remember those. At my school when I was 8 or 9 those sweaters were the rage, all lovely sherbetty colours, some sort of frosted, oversize cardigans and with big pearlized matching buttons, and I wanted one sooooo badly. (Fuzzy sweaters make me itch, but it faut souffrir.......) My mum made a non-oversized red one ("you'lll be different from everyone else"--which I wanted desperately at 12 but which I didn't want at all when I was 8) I wonder if that type of yarn will be back on shelves---if I could find something in a synthetic with the mohair look, I could knit myself the frost aqua cardy I wanted back then!!!

Anf from someone who washed a mohair sweater in hot water by mistake - I can
tell you they felt VEEERRY easily! Pat P -- East Anglian Xstitch http://homepages.tesco.net/~porter "Dawne Peterson" wrote in message ... "Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote You could Felt them and turn it into very fashionable bags , cushions or sew all into a nice warm afgahn made by your kints . What a good idea. An afghan made up of felted sweaters would be a good way to have a memory of the knitter who made them. Dawne |
