Dear God:Today, I am thankful for recycled wool sweaters.

It's a cool (almost cold) day - soggy and very gloomy. I am think that winter will arrive early this year.
Oh dear.
I better start knitting the winter sweaters I originally planned to make during the summer.
Today is a good day to disassemble the wool sweaters I bought at the local thrift shop's half-price sale last April. I think I bought both for about $7.00.
Right now, I am deconstructing two very bulky pullovers: a J. Crew man's XL in a deep olive green and a Willi Smith woman's M in a luscious golden wheat. The wool from both sweaters is in very good condition so I will be able to reuse nearly all of it to create new items for my wardrobe.
Next comes the hardest part of the project - matching the yarn's weight and yardage to a stylish sweater pattern that will fit my petite figure.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
