I tried to simplify Christmas last year.
For each of the grandparents, great grands and my sister I put together home-made gift baskets. Inside each one was a selection of my canning, a copy of our Cookbook, crocheted wash clothes that I purchased at a craft fair and a scarf and/or cowl that I created for each recipient.

Here’s the Upcycled Knit Sweater Cowl that I made for my lil’ sis…
I love the color and the chunky knit.
I made one for myself too ~ how could I not?
My gorgeous little sister, Alicia, is modelling her new scarf.
And may I just say that I told her to put on something with long sleeves?!? Seriously, it’s January!! lol
I wished that we lived closer. The upcycling possibilities would be endless.
This is the old sweater that I used to create two cowls.
I simply cut off the cowl neck, cut it straight down the center, sewed it back up and attached buttons.
Cheri’s Upcycled Scarflette tutorial was my inspiration.

Oh brilliant. I was drooling over a crochet pattern for a similar cowl, and wondering if I should give it a try – but duh! Use something I don’t wear anymore that’s ALREADY KNITTED. Seriously, why does someone else always have to point out the obvious? :D Pinning this!
Following you now ~ I’d love to see you drop by Happy Hour Projects and link up at my Friday party sometime!
