Reconstruct Your Old Clothing (part 2)

In continuation of last week's Part 1 involving reconstructing shirts and such, Part 2 focuses on sweaters. Some of these projects I found are so cool, I'm kind of tempted to scour Goodwill and other second-hand stores for high quality fibered sweaters, but that would defeat the purpose of me purging my closet and getting rid of stuff. Sometimes, the internet is not good for me.

If I had a sweater this nice, I'd probably wear it, or make it into a smaller sweater for a toddler!

This mitt is so awesome!!

See what I mean about the temptation to buy more sweaters just to make these? But I must resist and make do with my non-100%-natural fiber sweaters. Do you have any other ideas?
