Sweater, Sweater, felted sweater!!

I've been collecting sweaters for a while now. Mens, womens, kids... they are all an inspiration to me to shrink, felt, cut and sew something new with them... even hook them. I've made them into backpacks, purses, change purses, fancy purses, vintage purses and baby diaper bags. I've cut them up and hooked with them as strips, cut out shapes and used them to proddy flowers, and cut them to trapunto (sp?) into a hooked piece. My shelves are full of them and still I look for more. So if you have a wool or mostly wool sweater, scarf, hat or anything of wool, let me know... cause I want it!! Or I want to tell you what you can do with it!! Recycle Recycle Recycle... Remake it!! take care... Franie
