Unraveling a sweater-how to..

[buggaboosmommy]

I just found a neat site and figured I would share. It's an online "how to" on unraveling a sweater, step by step. Not sure if it goes under help or websites..but here goes: Donna

Cool!! I have several sweaters my mom knit for me many years ago that I've been wanting to unravel and this makes it not seem so daunting! Looks like she has some other interesting stuff on there, too!

Thanks for the link! I am excited about unraveling sweaters - my mum has about 15 years worth of sweaters (she keeps swearing that she is going to have a yard sale) that I can pick and choose from - yay!!

This is a huge help. I'm headed to the thrift store now.

I never, ever, ever in a million years would have thought of that. That's such a great idea!

 

The thrift store will not longer be getting my sweaters!

I could not wait to go back to the US....I unravelled one of the sweaters I had here in Belgium with me.....well, I've gotten one sleeve undone! The directions are nice, but they neglect to mention that its possible to pull the little connecting thread and unbind whole sections at a time without having to cut all of those pesky little stitches! It is a matter of pulling the thread at the right time and in the right place and direction and voila!
