Who says you can’t shrink a sweater in a front-loader washer?! I felt bad wrecking my husband’s sweater in our new washing machine. He was a good sport about it. I was then happy to cut it up for some projects. The bottom is going to be an endless scarf. The collar I am going to fool around with – maybe add some other felted wool pieces to make it a top or a dress. Perhaps trim it some, embellish it and have it be a scarf/neck covering of sorts. The sleeves became these wrist warmers.
I’ll be more careful about what I put in our new washer. Poor Raoul is down one nice sweater, but I’ll have toastier hands.
