unraveled cardigan


 A few months ago I found this hand-knit cardigan sweater in a thrift store.  The sweater was unwearable as it was - there was a big hole in the sleeve.  Even so I feel bad about unraveling someone else's handiwork.  Of course that didn't stop me.  Not sure what the fiber content of the yarn - it burned like it was animal fiber.  I'm guessing it is mostly wool with some mohair.
