I took the sweater home with me and wore it yesterday. I didn't wash it so it smelled like her. But the true magic happened about an hour into wearing it. I found a couple Sophie & Zuni hairs (mom and grandma's dogs) and had a few chuckles while picking them out in the restroom at work.
A few hours after finding the dog hairs I felt a sharp prick in the left sleeve. After several pokes I went back to the restroom to investigate. I dug around and found a little twig. Thankfully, not a cactus spine, but a mighty sharp little twig, about an inch long and cream-colored. Who knows where it came from, but I feel strongly that in addition to the grandma smells and a little dog love, the sweater also brought a bit of the desert to Kansas.

I need a little a sweater from Kansas.
