The origin of my love for sloves

) But I wanted to tell my little story why I love them.
My husband, Zach, and I have known each other since we were 6. We were best friends in highschool and he had this sweatshirt that was his favorite that I always loved.
Here it is today, 10 years later.
I used to wear this sweatshirt a lot when we were friends. It was just cozy and comforting to me. He wore it all the time and soon enough it got little holes in the hem of the sleeves. So I used to stick my thumbs in the holes. It made it extra comforting to me. Ever since high school this sweatshirt has been like a security blanket for me. It reminds me of my sweet husband and the friendship that our relationship is based on.
So that’s why I like these so much. They just make me feel comfortable. Thanks for listening to that!
Anyhow, I wanted to make a pair for my sister that looked Free People-ish. So I found this wool sweater with these great button cuffs at the end. I cut them at a slightly flared angle.
Mark then cut a little hole for your thumb.
Around the edges I stitched with varying colored embroidery thread.
Done!

Love the story and I did the same thing to my husband’s sweatshirt before we were dating. It’s still in his closet and I tend to pull it out when I’m sick
