Very classic. Not flashy but serves the purpose. I like this set very much.

Kyntheligronan – you could always go out to a thrift or consignment store and rescue some old sweaters if you can’t find a heavy-knit fabric anywhere else – that’s what I did. Good luck!

Recycling a sweater is a really good idea! I can’t believe we have not thought of that. Seriously, that’s why it is so good that we can share all our ideas!!

Uhmm… yeah… I too LOVE the knit designs you guys have been posting but WHERE DO YOU FIND THAT FABRIC when you DON’T have sweaters to recycle?!?! I’ve done websearches, even Mood, but… nient!

Great pattern.. I love the idea of recycling sweaters. I have been tempted to make some of these “heavy-knit” items you’ve been showcasing recently but had no idea where to find the fabric. I can totally do this! Thanks!
