Sweater+Scissors=

I couldn't pass up this sweater for only a dollar. Made of 100% wool with a lovely beaded trim, the sweater would have been wearable if not for the hole near the neckline and the extra small size. But why let that stop me? With plans in mind, I bought it anyway. I have a weakness for bargains and recycling. So once I returned home, I spun it in the wash to felt, snipped off the sleeves and sewed them into some mittens.

Later I think I'll make a hat, but no time for that today. What I must do now is prepare for our trip and wrap some gifts. Happy Solstice!
