Default Ugly Sweaters

Every year I 'try' to handmake an ornament for my Children & Grandchildren. Every now & then I buy ornaments. This year I asked for a piece of outgrown, worn out, etc clotning. Here are the results! (one family STILL! didn't bring items!!)

I want to make some dryer balls too. Where did you find directions? Are they 100% wool?

Ellageo I love your idea. What fun they would be to make and give back. I may have to try this.

I made 5 quilts for Christmas - 4 queen and one king. (I started in January) Also 3 fabric boxes, 2 table toppers, 4 Paducah bags, 2 mug rugs, a pillow, and a partridge in a pear tree!. Once the quilts are gifted, I will post photos of them. Two are Carpenters stars, one is Ashleigh, which I found made up quickly. I made the bags for storage of the quilts in the off season. I also knitted 2 scarves, and from leftover fleece made about 6 scarves for charity. Just don't ask when I vacuumed the living room last!

I am going to Easter Island in January with a stop in Santiago Chile, and hopefully will buy some fabric there. Use it or lose it!!!!

Beautiful. Where did you purchase the kit? I'm a sucker for ante with Christmas colors.
