To be honest I'm usually in favor of the first solution and think you are brave taking it apart.

You are woman made of steel in my eyes!<br /><br />The pennies in the baggie...my inlaws, retired dairy farmers, do this on their porches. And believe me cows draw a lot of flies! A fairly innocuous deterrent. I think they read somewhere that the pennies in water look like the eyes of a predator. But if that were true...why are they not intimidated by big ol' me swinging a fly swatter?!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-29793987038847818222010-08-23T06:34:10.233-07:002010-08-23T06:34:10.233-07:00How weird about the flies!

I suppose it's something about the reaction with copper.<br /><br />The sweater looks beautiful, but if it had gone unworn that long, ripping seems like a great choice.
