Recycling sweaters

My mom had bought a bunch of sweaters with the intention of felting them and making some type of craft. Well I guess the felting didn't quite work out so I ended up with a dozen or so cashmere sweaters. I kept a few for myself but most of them had holes or other faults that made them "unwearable". So with the salvaged parts, I decided to make colorful scarves and mitts. So far I've been able to make 4 scarves and I'm left with lots of little pieces that will be perfect to make matching mitts. Recycling is so much fun!


Here are a few of my favorites:
