A very beautiful sweater was walking down the isle towards me.. I really liked it, just my style with rustic earth colors and plenty of rows of different knit patterns. The gal wearing it looked friendly but I let her pass thinking if I see her again I will ask if she designed the sweater or is it a purchased pattern. I wanted it but had to work up my country shyness or see if eye contact could start the conversation. Now once I take the plunge to open a conversation it is tough to shut me up. I was sure I could get the info ;)
I was like a mad woman glancing up and down isles but no luck seeing the sweater. Bought my cup of JMC (I know every store/coffee shop that sells JMC within a 100 mile radius) and went to check out. Oh the sweater was two customers ahead of me. Then I saw the hated sweater bumps on the back of the shoulders!!! They looked like 3 inch carrots had been stuffed in them, how awful, that beautiful sweater ruined. Too late to save it and of course how could I walk up to a stranger and suggest a better way to hang sweaters and knit tops to avoid "the bumps"? Now you know where this blog is going don't ya?
HOW TO HANG A SWEATER : just follow the pictures I have posted, this way even works for Dick's large, extra tall sweaters and knit shirts..
 |
| fold in half with top towards you |
 |
| lay the hanger on the sweater with hook in armpit |
 |
| fold arm over hanger and tuck through |
 |
| fold body of sweater over hanger, tada done ;) |
 |
| pick it up by hook and hang, I ♥ this idea ;) |
This works for me, they don't fall off the hanger, the closet looks neat and best of all "no bumps". In the spring they are easy to carry to the spare closet. No packing away, love it! I hope this little sweater hanging idea is helpful and saves you from the frustration I had with my sweaters for years. I came across this a few years ago, probably Pinterest but not sure. The memory files freeze up sometimes.
If you like this idea and find it helpful.........please Pass it On..........
