Mareridt

Tragedy occurred on Saturday

I carelessly put a 100% merino black By Malene Birger boyfriend cardigan in the washing machine. On a 40 degree wash.

I felt physically sick as I pulled a boiled wool miniature version of the cardigan out of the machine.

Nooooooooooooo - was literally what I said. I chose not to swear. I googled 'how to stretch shrunken wool' obviously  - I soaked the poor little thing in a bowl of water mixed with hair conditioner, but sadly, it will be passed on to my niece. Her first piece of Danish designer wear. 

How very apt for a poppet conceived in Copenhagen and named after the Danish queen!!!

She won't appreciate it - it will have jam all over it within 5 minutes.

The saddest thing about this 'Mareridt' (Danish for nightmare!), is that I can't even replace it because of this challenge....
