I have a vintage sweater that was mine when I was little that i'm passing on to my daughter, and there's a small hole in the front.

I do have a NZ wool sweater with a hood, zipper and pockets...that I purchased when I lived there, but it's thick and lined with fleece so I wear it as my 'winter coat'. It remains to be my favourite but too warm to wear when I'm indoors. I'll keep looking, one day it will come to me.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993491069604129351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-39896850231600032962012-01-15T15:57:10.125-05:002012-01-15T15:57:10.125-05:00Ahh, MUCH better than slippers (though those would...Ahh, MUCH better than slippers (though those would have been great too - as all your work is)!
