I am not feeling quite myself. Totally exhausted, actually...and already had fallen asleep while TheMostImportantGuy was working on catching up on Downton Abbey.
So this post is thanks to KarenTheDancingLurker who sent me a link to this cute video a couple of days ago!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since 1955, Loes Veenstra has knitted over 550 sweaters and stored them
in her home on the 2nd Carnissestraat in Rotterdam. The sweaters have
never been worn. Until today.

550 sweaters

Awesome!
Just...wow. The video is so happy, but there's something sad about storing 550 sweaters for decades. Was there no one in her life who asked her to make them a sweater? Or was she asked and she said no because she didn't make sweaters to be worn?
I happen to know an agoraphobic, hoarder knitter (who does knit for others), so that's where my mind goes. Now that I've written all this, it occurs to me that maybe she's a test knitter for a pattern company.
Still...wow.
