These are for felting projects. Some valentine teachery things, some mittens and some Christmas.
JCrew This may be felted for a Christmas project or frogged for yarn, still deciding!
These are to frog:
100% cashmere
this one may need to stay in the felted state if I can't frog it.... will think of something nice to do with it as I have 2 other cashmere sweaters given to me that were felted.
GAP silk/wool blend
silk/cashmere blend
JCrew wool/angora rabbit blend already frogged the sleeves and back. The front was serged to the button band:-( so I'll felt that for mittens
I also got this beautiful mahogany serving dish made in haiti. It will be great for parties with crudité and dip in the center :-)
and 7 of these cute little silverplated knives which I'll use on cheese trays.
I came home smiling :-)

Smiling...I admire your restraint! I'd have been jumping up and down and laughing maniacally!
I was wondering if you have ever posted anything about the way you frog your sweaters. I have bought a few and have still not have sucessfully frogged one yet. I can never get the side seams apart correctly to get a continuous piece of yarn.
Thanks
You are very ambitious my dear :)
I don't think you'll be able to frog the felted ones. I've seen in the past on the Martha Stewart show making things out of felted sweaters. I think they made mittens. Check her website out there may be directions.
wow, you hit the mother lode indeed! love the cashmere sweaters you found. makes me want to go out and run out to my local thrift store!
