I shaved today!!

Not my legs, though. That’s what pants are for.

I shaved Emma’s knit wool. I have been scared to shave her wool for months — I’ve heard you could use a regular razor, but good grief, I can’t even shave my legs without cutting myself 492 times.

So my awesome friend Shah’ada told me about this sweater shaver at Walmart for $5.67, and after searching up and down the laundry aisles and calling her, I finally found it. Stuck WAY up in a corner next to the irons. Do people not wear sweaters anymore? Or do they just do what I do and give them to Goodwill when they look crappy?

So I came home, loaded it up with batteries, grabbed Emma’s worst pair of wool capris that another awesome friend, Robyn, knitted for her, and went to town. Shah’ada had told me to do small circles and then empty after each leg. But I don’t think she knew how bad they were — I had to empty after every few inches. *giggle*

Here they were before (I’m so ashamed)

And after

And our lovely wool hairball

These are a lot less pilly than the others, because they were Emma’s first pair of knit woolies, and they were worn when she wasn’t mobile. *love* Can you guess which leg I’ve already shaved?

So if you cloth diaper and read my blog, then go out and get yourself one of these CHEAP yet LIFE-CHANGING sweater shavers. Stat.
