More things to make with old sweaters: potholders.

If your house is anything like mine, potholders are always needed. I don't care if you have 42,when you need one, you can't find one. Well, old sweaters make great potholders - especially wool ones. After felting your sweater, cut out a 7 inch square (larger if you have really big hands) and pin together. I rounded the corners and added a loop in one corner for easy hanging. Then I sewed them up. Feeling especially creative? Use 2 or 3 sweaters to make patterns.

The sweater wool is already shrunken, so there is no fear of laundering if they get dirty.

Keep on crafting!
