Within that first week, I found out about these really cool looking sweaters while at Metro Pet Market. They're from a company called Granted Clothing. Super cool sweaters.

Made from wool. wah wah
I never bothered looking into the how we get wool.
I saw the sweaters, and I knew Troy would want one.
They are very similar to the sweater that The Dude wears on The Big Lebowski. Very cool!
Speaking of!!
For the last six hallowe'ens we have hosted a costume party because Troy's birthday is the 29th.
Scott(of 'Shannon & Scott', of our adventure friends)usually comes dressed as a drunken pirate.
This year Scott dressed as "The Dude". It was rad!

Back on topic, Alyx!!
I saw the skull sweater and I ordered Troy one for his birthday.
He loves it.
I mean, it's a siwash, and it has skulls!
What's NOT to love? Again, rhetorical. I don't love that it's made with wool. I'm actually rather irritated. And a bit sad.
This is where I forgive myself for making the mistake. I have learned from this mistake.
You may wonder what the problem with wool is. I wondered the very same thing.Thankfully, I found the answer on Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's podcast, Vegetarian Food For Thought.
The episode titled, The Shearing of Sheep, told me what the problems are with wool.
I know there are many YouTube videos that talk about this as well, I just really appreciate the way that Colleen delivers the information. Compassionate and truthful.
My next task is to commission someone to knit a vegan sweater with skulls for the love of my life, Troy.
I can do many things, but I don't know how to knit.
I'll start with Etsy.com.
That would be rad! I'm sure your husband would love a replacement skull siwash.
