sense and sentimentality

[beachlass]

 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?

It's a difficult thing to decide when sentimentality is involved. Do you have other things that bring back the good memories of your grandmother? If so, perhaps these sweaters could find a new home. If not, perhaps you could pick a favorite to keep purely for the sentiment. I get the feeling that you wouldn't want to wear them now, perhaps that's also your own way of telling yourself you don't need to keep them forever.

Maybe I will just keep one. Thank you.
