10 Recycled Sweater Gift Ideas

What a wonderful weekend we just had. I love three day weekends. When I worked in Kentucky, I had that every week and it was so awesome.  We were able to go climbing at the gym in Nuremburg with the kids which went great, go to a birthday party with lots of friends/kids for Cooper to play with, visit the Daut family, and play a ton at home/get household chores done.  I feel sore all over from the gym, and that is a good thing. I need it.

At night, I was also able to make a few ornament gifts. Christmas is on my mind. I already want to decorate, but I know I should wait until Thanksgiving is over. We were living in a hotel last year, so I didn't get to decorate then, and I am anxious to see all my stuff that has been in boxes for 2 years!

Last week, when I went to Stuttgart for training, I was noticing how reused sweaters are the big thing. And I LOVE the stuff I am seeing. Sweater Ornaments, Sweater Wreaths, Sweater Chair Coverings, Sweater Rugs... The list goes on and on. Here are 10 awesome gifts/decorative items to make from an old sweater that I found on other amazing blogs. Each has a tutorial. I must get to the thrift store!
