Day 211: A Sweater Made Sweeter
I hate turtlenecks. They don’t look so great on me either. :/ I love that diagonal stripe pattern, though! I decided to explore that a little further! 🙂 Yup…we’re going solo sleeved! I folded that top edge under twice and pinned it down. Then, I stitched it up! I used a zigzag stitch so it could stretch with the weave of the sweater. 🙂 I took in the armless side a bunch to make my new sweater nice and snug!…
Day 162: Ugly Christmas Sweater Time!
Some friends and I decided to do an Ugly Christmas Sweater Bar Crawl. I managed to find a couple of really hideous ones! 🙂 I turned one into a skirt, and added on a few fun holiday decorations to the other. Cheers! 🙂
Day 124: Cayce Pollard Sweater
Today’s piece is also from the awesome Miss Irene. 🙂 As you can see, I am not thrilled. Irene explained this was one of those “I just graduated college and need something responsible-looking” sweaters. I’m not a fan of the sequined do-dads.

After about a half hour, I had completely de-beaded…
Day 103: A Sweater Save

And how I turned those too-long sleeves into a sweet pair of button-up socks? 🙂 I couldn’t just waste the rest of the sweater, so I made a new cut up the center to turn that weird bunchy, way-unflattering pullover into a sweet cardi! 🙂 I pinned the V-neck together with my favorite brooch. It used to be my Grandmother’s, so it always makes me happy and nostalgic when I wear it. 🙂 Cheers!
A Sweater Made Better
Today’s piece didn’t cost a thing. 🙂 I went through a pile of sweaters my fella no longer wanted, and found this guy: As you can clearly see…this thing is huuuuuge! Not a prob. I’m going need all of its length, but that width is gonna have to go for what I have in mind. First off, I turned the sweater inside-out and backwards, with the V-neck now in the back. I pulled my arms through the neck of the sweater, and…
