I'm sure it will be a wonderful sweater, and think of all the character-building side benefits like patience, endurance, long-suffering, thriftiness...you go girl! What an amazing project.

Sounds like this was one of those cases. I've found it's the "unsewing" that's the hardest bit--having to be so careful not to cut the knitting! Good luck on your new project!

There is just too much to learn for the first one. Can't wait to see how this one turns out. I truely believe that most first sweaters never fit right.

Did you take pictures of its first life? Later you can compare the photos side by side with its second life. I can't wait to see it. I am knitting my first sock! So excited!

My slogan for my shop (I sell used wool sweaters for recycling) is "Reuse, recycle, Resweater". Many of my customers buy the chunkier knit sweaters to do what you did... reclaim the yarn. I call them "froggables" because they call this "frogging" when you unravel a sweater for the yarn. Great post! Kris :) Resweater That’s so funny that this came up on my Google alerts!
