I was reading on a forum on Ravelry about knitters who still had sweaters they had made decades ago, and it reminded me of one I made in the late 60s, when I was in college. It took me ten months to make and about ten minutes to ruin. I did wear it for a few years in between the two events, but when, in my later 20s, I decided I really didn't need to take it to be dry-cleaned, that I could wash it myself in cold water, IN THE WASHING MACHINE, well, that was the end of the sweater as a sweater.
I have taken a few pictures to remember it by, before it becomes a pillow.

The Inspection:
What's Under Here?
Must Kill This:
It will soon BE killed, but by me, not by Molly.
I can't believe I was so dumb? Uninformed? Young, naive and arrogant? (
This will work because I say it will work.)
All of those, I suppose.
Anyone know of good uses for the sleeves?

Yes, you can make fingerless mitts out of them. I will show you mine Thursday.
Beautiful sweater. Wool is an unforgiving mistress, though. Will make a beautiful pillow and the fingerless mitt idea is great.
