I'd definitely adjust the sweaters -- its too spendy to buy new, and sounds like these are very nice ones!

I hadn't thought of that... and yes, these sweaters are very nice. I think I'll give this a try!!! (Why didn't I think of that!?)

Thanks, everyone for all your suggestions! You've never let me down!!
