In 1967,
my grandmother made me a granny square sweater to take to college.
(Similar in style to the one pictured above.)
I LOVED that sweater -and wore it everywhere.
No seriously, look at pictures of Waverly, Iowa from that time period -
and you'll likely find me in them.
I thought it was the height of sophistication.
Imagine the above, worn with a white, button down, Oxford cloth shirt,
gray wool 'Bermuda shorts', knee socks and penny loafers.
Quintessential late 60's!
I was going through FB Marketplace recently
and found the exact color palette of my sweater -
but in an afghan, which, lets be honest,
is more suited for my age and retirement status.
Oh, who am I kidding?
If it was available as a sweater I would have snatched it up too,
but it wasn't.
I made the 2 hour trip North to pick it up -
and have been surrounded by warmth, comfort, love
and wonderful memories
ever since.
Perfect for this single digit winter weather and binge watching Netflix.
Stay warm - and healthy, friends!
