It’s been 7 years since my Oma died. I have one of the acrylic sweaters she knit me in our window seat – where we keep our warmest sweaters. Even though i replaced it with a wool one, i haven’t got rid of it yet. But it’s just sitting there and hidden too – i should just let it go.
Besides i have something to make up for it. One of my Oma’s scarves was hiding amongst my stacks of fabric. Now it’s covering a pillow in our living room. A far better tribute i think.
