![]() | As always, I spent a few minutes examining the garment. Sweaters can be tricky. You have to determine if the pieces have been knitted together or sewn by machine. I had to figure out what would happen when I started ripping the old zipper out. |

I also had to be careful ripping out the stitching. I did not want to accidentally start ripping out the yarns that were the basis of the sweater. |
