Madeleine put a lot of time and effort into knitting a cardigen. Yet, a month later, she cuts open one of the sleeves. | ||

Did she knit it for herself, or for someone else? Would she have done the same if it had been a pullover? | ||

Relevant who she made it for? Did she give it to them? Did she cut it with their permission? Did she later repair the sleeve? Was she altering the cardigan? Its size? Style? Was she aiming to destroy the cardigan? Remove something from the sleeve? Get hold of the wool? Put something in the cardigan? Did she know when she made the cardigan that she would later cut the sleeve open? | ||

Did she plan to return the cardigan to her daughter afterwards, without her daughter knowing? Did she sew an object into the sleeve? Change the pattern? The colour? Repair a fault? Strengthen it? Was she doing something to benefit her daughter? Herself? | ||

Is the period of a month specifically relevant? Did something happen after a month that led Madeleine to cut the cardigan? Did her daughter know she had taken the cardigan? Did she know she had cut it? Was the cardigan returned to her afterwards? The other relevant girl - does she know Madeleine? The daughter? Did she ever see the cardigan? Wear it? Was the object sewn in to the cardigan visible once it was sewn up? Was it hard? Soft? Made of fabric? Metal? Plastic? Wood? Was it a button? | ||

Did she break her arm and need a cardigan that would fit over the cast? Hurt her arm in some other way? Did the zipper allow access to her arm for injections/blood samples/a drip or similar? | ||

Was the idea that after her cast came off, she could close the zipper and continue wearing it? Relevant why she needed a cardigan and couldn't just wear something with loose sleeves while she had her cast? | ||

Did she need something warm? Was it difficult for her to get a pullover over her head due to her injury? Did the cousin ask for the cardigan? Did the daughter offer it? Did the cardigan have some kind of sentimental value? Could Madeleine equally have bought a cardigan and cut open the sleeve? | ||

Were the girls fighting? Playing together? Did the daughter cause an accident? Did Madeleine give the cardigan to the cousin to make up for her daughter's actions? To placate someone who was angry about what had happened? To punish her daughter? | ||

Were the girls fighting? Playing together? this Did the daughter cause an accident? yope Did Madeleine give the cardigan to the cousin to make up for her daughter's actions? yesish To placate someone who was angry about what had happened? no To punish her daughter? yes Nice work, Enjay! Time for the ********SPOILER******** Two little girls (Let's call them Patty and Selma) were playing together. The older one, Patty, knew how to do a somersault and wanted to teach Selma how to do it. She thought it'd be a good idea to hold Selma's arm in place while she rolled over... Turned out to be a pretty bad idea because Selma broke her arm. As a punishment for Patty and a consolation for Selma, Patty had to give her cousin her new cardigan. Her mother cut open one of the sleeves and sew in a zipper so that it would fit over the cast. (The two girls are my mother and her cousin, and Madeleine is my grandma.) New puzzle will be up right away, and please don't neglect my other two long-running puzzles (: |
