A Former Sweater
This past weekend this yarn was a sweater. It was an oversized sweater that didn't fit well and I've been planning to take it apart and ravel it for a while. The yarn is from Beaverslide Dry Goods and I think the color may have been Jersey Cream - I purchased it a long time ago. It's an aran weight yarn and the sweater that it used to be was knit at 4 stitches per inch.
I'm loosely thinking about making it into a top down, raglan, V-Neck, cardigan, but since it's going to be a while before I get to it, I'm not fully committed to that idea yet.
As much as I enjoy knitting, getting to frog an entire sweater is pretty fun too!

Wow! You are brave to frog an entire sweater. And smart too! I just frogged a sock and almost couldn't do it. But, what a waste to have gorgeous yarn knit into something we don't want. You are an inspiration!
I have been reading a lot of blogs where they frog clothes bought at second hand stores. I like the idea, so I'm going shopping next week. What a wonderful way to get new yarns.
You have encouraged me to go forth and frog a sweater I started and know I will not wear - so frog I will go because I want to use the yarn to make Talia Vest by Knitty
Thanks Melanie
Very good use of time, Can't wait to see what you create with this. Also great for the environment.
