thrifted woolen cardies

 Here's the two cardies that I opp shopped the other week. This one is black Merino, super soft and a perfect fit! Ive been wearing it every chance I get (although it doesn't stay on long in this weather)
 This is the lambs wool one. When I said it fitted I meant a saw potential.
I contemplated felting it a little to make it a better fit but I loved the sleves the size they were so instead I took in the seams a few cm on the trusty sewing machine.
Its probably hard to see the difference propperly in my mirror self-portrait but im so much happier with it now!
Oh, and this pics just for the cute rabbit factor:)
