Small things amuse small minds - once again

2009 will be marked by me as the year of bad purchases. I so wanted to have a colour co-ordinated mix and match wardrobe, that was not just boring navy - a colour that is very practical, but not very flattering in my opionion. I opted for purple, but what a dissapointment the clothes turned out to be: either the sleeves were too tight, (and too long) or after a wash or two the colour faded or the ribbing lost its elasticity or as in the case below, it was covered with unsightly fluff balls. I really like the jersey below: I like the colour and it fits! But after only two washes it looked like something out of my childhood years! (I didn't even think they still made such poor quality stuff!). Anyway today I grabbed a razor and voila! On the right see the "before razor" and on the left the "after razor" results. I still have a long way to go, but I just might have a wearable jersey after all! Hurrah!

So here's an old tip for fluff on jerseys: shave them off and remove the resulting loose fluff with one of those sticky stuff lint removers that one gets at Dischem.
