Notes

There’s an old sweater in my closet that has seen better days. It’s older than I am and was a favorite of my Dad’s. I can remember him wearing it from wayyyy back when.

The blue mohair number from the 50’s brought out the color of his eyes and was so fun to snuggle with while sitting in his lap as a little girl.

So, naturally, I had to pay homage to it (and him!) in a re-creation inspired by that warm memory.
