Repurposed Scarves From An Old Sweater

Anyway, I took this old school sweater that I loved the feel of (but not the style of) and unraveled the whole thing and put the yarn into balls and crocheted a few scarves. So me and my two best college friends have coordinating scarves....because two of the scarves are for their Christmas.

I know I took a picture of the sweater before, but can't find it in the computer. We've had a lot going on at our house, so I'm not surprised I can't find it!! If I find the picture somewhere, I'll post it later.

Since it is weeks after Christmas, I only have two of them at my house....I actually finished one before Christmas and mailed it to one of my friends. The other I just finished and will be mailing tomorrow, if at all possible.

I love that ruffle too. It was easy...I made the shorter length and thought it was almost too long!; January 23, 2012 at 1:36 PM

The Turner's said...: Yes, that sweater from the river house that I loved but was really dated and J'net hated. I took it apart, and used the yarn to make 3 scarves!!; February 6, 2012 at 8:20 AM
