For all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these "it might have been."

The Fourth
Nineteen Years Old
email exchange:
I have a 19 year old half-finished knitting project (a pullover sweater) that you're welcome to.
Oh! Thank you! That is amazing.
Also, if you can share with me,
why were you making it and why did you stop?
This is the longest time kept
so far.
I can pick up the sweater tomorrow if that is okay.
That's fine.
I started the project in 1991 after I started my first job and had free time suddenly. I admired a friend's sweaters and she offered to teach me to knit. She moved before I finished the sweater and after I got stuck I dropped it. Sadly I never picked it up again. I'd love to resume knitting but by now the original sweater style (lopi) is so outdated that I'd probably start fresh.
