I have a problem: not quite hoarding, but definite pack-rat-ism. When I come across things that I love I hang onto them until I have a use for them or get time to remake them. That's what happened with this ugly old lumpy Esprit sweater
(not sure if it came via thrift or hand-me-down). Despite being misshapen, disproportionate and huge it was made of a lovely textured large knit grey wool. I separated the arms and front of the sweater, sitting them aside for a separate project (legwarmers and purse). Then after cutting the remaining back panel of the sweater into a rectangle with
(relatively) straight lines I sewed it into a tube using wool strands unravelled from the scrap cuttings. It works so many different ways! turtleneck, face wrap, hat, even a handwarmer!
