Gaining Perspective
It was just a sweater, a bit of time knitting and some yarn. I posted a week ago about the red wine that my husband had spilt on my knitting. Then Harvey hit, and I saw the poor helpless women sitting in wheelchairs as the waters rose. My problems are small and 1st world.
Thankfully, those women are safe and dry, although most likely traumatized. Here is a photo of them in their new location.
This blog is about knitting, so here is my sweater, almost finished. Some of the wine washed out, some of it stayed. I tried putting salt on it, but my veggie flake Pink Himalayan salt may not have helped the case. A friend suggested ripping it back, but the spots were all over the place, so that was not an option. I am almost done with the knitting, then I will soak it in OXO and cross my fingers.

If they don’t come out I would suggest dying it. Even a light tea dye would cover it I hope that lady kept her knitting!

I was pleased to see them all safe and dry as well. As for your sweater – soak the whole darned thing in red wine! Or, maybe you have created the thing I always thought to – a shirt that I purposely splotched with grape jelly, ketchup, mustard, oil. Then wash. Then wear like it was meant to be that way and never worry about spilling again. But I hope that you haven’t. 🙂

the red wine soak is funny. If only it was not a light green base….
