SWEATER RECOVERY




I found this cute little sweater in a consignment shop in downtown Jefferson city.  It was too small for me, but I knew my DIL would like it.  Low and behold, when I was getting ready to give it to here, I discovered this big "run" in the front.  Today, I took one of my trusty crochet hooks and pulled everything back in place.  As I worked with it, I  discovered that the pattern was a slip stitch on every other row.  I am very happy with the end result.

What a great find even with the little run down the front. I'm sure that is the only reason it was in that shop. You got a nice sweater and the satisfaction of restoring it to its former glory with your trusty crochet hook. Too bad it won't fit you.

GREAT SAVE, Anna Marie !

A wonderful classic-style cardi.

Your DIL will get plenty of use with this thoughtful gift.
She's one lucky gal.
