Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
A sweater knitted by a friend of my mother’s especially for me. I was really into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and they had put my favourite turtle on the front (which was Raphael). It was just beautifully made, and there’s even a school photo of me wearing it, beaming happily. If you’ve read my blog, you’ll know my childhood wasn’t great, but that sweater was so precious. I cried when I grew out of it, and we handed it to another family member.
