sense and sentimentality
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?

Do you like the colors? Would any of the sweaters work for your life now? Maybe you can pick one as a favorite to keep to remember the love that made it for you, and perhaps still use it from time to time.
I have a blue fluffy-yarn cable cardigan knit for me by a great-aunt as a high school graduation gift in 1964. She also made a straight skirt to go with it is some kind of fluff-textured fabric popular then. I wore them as my Sunday dinner in the dorm outfit for 3 years in college; dressing up was required. I kept the cardigan, and wore it as long as it still fit; it may still be in the cedar chest. I will probably pass it on when I go through that; last time I saw it was still in good condition and a classic cable cardigan.
