But, I’m back for this brief moment in time to announce that I’ve done it!
Yes, I know. It has taken me THREE years, but I’ve finally done it.
Done what? — you may be idly pondering or perhaps screaming at your screen. Well, let me inform you, fellow earthling (presumably):
I’ve finished embroidering my Magnus Archives hoodie!
It’s really something, is it not?
Now, why did I do this in the first place?
Well, for some reason the print on mine was literally washing away in the laundry. I can’t remember precisely (it’s been THREE years), but after only 2, or maybe 3 washes, the image was barely legible. So I decided to embroider it while there were still lines to follow.
And I guess I can finally start wearing it now.
It’s been three years (THREE, I SAY!!!) and some things have changed. Notably me. Or more specifically; the container of my essence (or physical body, if you want to be strictly colloquial about it).
I ordered this hoodie in the size 3XL, wanting it to be perhaps a little roomy — a tad cozy, if you will.
Well, jokes on me, I guess! Because — PLOT TWIST — I lost a third of my body weight (this really is the post of threes) and now this otherwise brilliant hoodie is more of a robe or a short dress; it comes down to my thighs!
Seriously, I buy clothes in S/M nowadays.
And this is where the post would’ve ended if it weren’t for the — SECOND PLOT TWIST — because, inexplicably, in the past few months, oversized clothing has been coming back into fashion. Who would’ve thunk it?
So, I guess I’ll be wearing this after all.
