sense and sentimentality

[beachlass]

In the ongoing project What is in this closet, anyway?!   I have started to unearth the sweaters that my much loved and missed grandmother knit for me.  In the 1980's. In acrylic. Which is pretty much indestructible. 

What do I do with them. I will ask my daughter when she gets home, maybe they are the right kind of retro for her. But... I am a fibre snob now, and a competent knitter in my own right. 

I think I am getting close to being able to let go of them, after something that is shoved in the back of a closet isn't really being enjoyed.

Suggestions Support?

what about taking a picture of them, either on your daughter or on the hanger... and put it in a scrapbook (maybe with a few snapshots of gramma, and pictures taken of you in them)? That way you still can look at them and think of the good memories and awesome love that went into making them, but you can also let them go and let them be loved by someone else who could use them.

That is a great suggestion! That may work for all *kinds* of things!
