I feel bad that i've been neglecting my blog, especially with all the new readers :( I have been preparing for the Fiber In The Park show next weekend, so I haven't been posting any new tutorials. I promise i'll get something up after the show. Until then, so you don't get bored ;), i'll have a giveaway for any 1 sweater from my shop (or even in my inventory, if you have a specific color in mind that I don't have listed). Even the cashmere is included!
Ready for the details?

* Tell me what you make from recycled wool, or what you plan to make if you don't already use recycled wool.
Want extra entries?
* Follow my blog, and if you already do just say that.
* Blog about this giveaway & link to it.
Make sure to leave a separate comment for the entries you complete!
Deadline: Friday, September 17th at midnight, Central time zone. I will use random.org to pick the winners the following morning (September 18th). **please leave an email if your blogger profile does not include it or you don't have a blog.

Good luck!

I love Sweater GiveAway on Resweater!
I use recycled sweaters to make all kinds of things for my shop, www.redress.com (I have a new name...used to be Blue Kimono Studio).
This summer I started using recycled wool for three-ply potholders that are great for practicality and cuteness. I also love refashioning sweaters into something new, and making scarves and armwarmers.
I'll tweet about you, too! Thanks....
I use froggable wool sweaters to make soakers and longies for my cloth diapered baby. :)

Ack! I put the wrong address down for my business. It's www.redress.co--not COM. I'm still not used to using "CO." Thanks for the heads-up, Kristen.
This is still a link to my Etsy shop, which I'm operating under a new banner.

i make baby and kids clothes, diaper covers, adult sweaters, hats, waterproof pads for car seats... really, whatever i can think of!
I'm a follower and I'm always excited to see when you have a new post!
I like to make flowers from sweaters - I cut a cross section from a sleeve - fold it in half and gather the two raw edges - tie it off and add a button to the center - so cute!
I love to make stuff from recycled sweaters. Dryer balls, soakers, hot pad/trivet/potholders, stuffies, mittens, slippers... I could go on and on!
And I follow you!
Hello! Your blog has inspired me to recycle sweaters. I use them for diaper covers and I made a couple of the wool baskets that you posted a tutorial for quite a while ago. I'm currently thinking about making felted wool booties or slippers for the upcoming winter. They will also make a nice warm bed for my basset hounds.
I'd love a chance to enter - I would love to make a cardigan from recycled wool in the near future.
Thanks,

I'd love to enter. So far with recycled sweaters I have made pull on soakers and have used the arms to make shorties and longies by adding elastic to the waist. I've also made wrap style soakers with snaps and foe to bind.
I also follow your blog as well!
I love your stuff! I mostly make kids clothes, but have been known to make almost anything out of felted wool!
Thanks, Becca
I follow your blog too! Becca

I make sweaters from sweaters, bags... big and small, fingerless gloves and much needle felting on felted old sweaters!!! mostly I have fun as a retired teacher about to open an etsy store.
I follow on Facebook
and i use sweaters for baby clothes and woolly creatures. and more! potholders...rugs...arm warmers...
You mean, what don't I make from recycled wool?
Mostly baby diaper covers, actually. I really like to felt up my scraps into strange shapes with felting needles. I've made baby shoes (warm & toasty toes), a little purse, and dryer balls.
Some of the ones I've bought from you I just wear. ;) If you lived closer & we were good friends, I'd come try on sweaters every Sunday.
Already follow your blog!
so far, diaper pants, diaper covers, baby shirts, a scarf, a baby blanket, potholders. looking forward to christmas stockings, blankets, arm warmers, leg warmers, more baby/kiddo clothes, and more i haven't dreamed of yet.

I have an ugly sweater from Goodwill that, so far, I've turned in to coasters, a wine carrier, and part of my portfolio.
I also have a sweater of my mother's that she loves, but doesn't like how warm she gets. It'll soon be a nice handbag for her. She can never have too many purses.
I use sweaters and turn them into felt to make garlands! see them here: www.lovefromchloe.etsy.com
I've also made some mittens for Christmas presents too!
I'd love to win one of your sweaters!

I make diaper covers out of recycled sweaters. I also want to try to make some slippers for the winter.
I just signed up to follow your blog. Interesting stuff. Thanks.

i make baby blankets, longies and soakers from recycled sweaters. i taught a class on repurposing sweaters and we made stuffed animals and leg warmers and blankets.
i follow your blog.
oh! and sometimes i frog recycled sweaters to re-use the wool in my nesting bowls or other knitting projects. thanks!
I like using upcycled wool for soakers, hats, slippers and bath scrubbies (for the little left over bits) and more.
Great blog and an awesome shop. What a great way for people to find usable sweaters and new ideas!
...and I just started to follow your blog (found it on the Yahoo wool soaker group from the post about the give away!) Thanks!
Great, another giveaway! Last time I bought sweaters from you, I just needed them to wear them very desperately. If I would repurpose sweaters, I would go for the yoga shorts you have a tutorial for (June 6th)- I wonder if you could make them as long trousers as well and make unzippable legs? I´m not sure if one would need 2 or three cashmere for that...
Regards,
Viola.
I follow your blog.
I use recycled sweaters for cloth diaper covers, I've made smaller sweaters for my daughters, and the last time I made something it was big thick socks from a felted sweater for my hubby when he hunts (he couldn't show that he was too excited, but I could see the look!) I'm starting to make some longies for baby girl #3 due late December!
If I win I'm at sarahcg85 @ hotmail.com

I make soakers and longies for my toddler! Sometimes I frog and knit, sometimes I sew and felt. I love it.
I blogged about your giveaway:
http://violarissasblog.typepad.com/blog/2010/09/resweater-resweater-giveaway.html
My daugters (11 and 8)and I are very excited about working with recycled sweaters. They are both huge fiber artists already working with knitting, crocheting and weaving. But we are new to working with upcycling sweaters. We stumbled upon the idea while on a quest for recycled fibers for weaving. We are planning on making some slippers (for ourselves) and Christmas stockings to fill with some home-canned goodies to give as Christmas gifts.
I'm new o your blog and to the world of wool soakers and such for my little ones, but I love the idea! So I really need to just jump in and try it!
I learned what 'froggable' means by going through the comments here and looking it up. Great word!

I think I would like my next "resweater" project to be a cosy hat for myself. Yeah. Something for myself...

If you have any little girls in your life, please do come on over and enter my giveaway for a twirly skirt! My daughter wore it twice in the last two years, and could probably still fit into it now, but it's time to pass it along...
i use recycled sweaters to make cloth diaper shorties and longies for my little one!
