So I picked out a new one to start.
This wool/silk blend:

will (someday) be a version of this:

which is my favorite chunky sweater ever. Despite the fact that I regularly machine wash and dry it so now it's about 6 inches too short in the sleeves. Yes, yes, the label said don't, but it's cotton and silk so I figured I could get by. I rationalize that it looks OK if I push them up. Please, don't disillusion me. I love my little fantasy world. And I promise not to throw the new one in the dryer.
