Reknit: Turn Old Sweaters Into New Things You Can Wear

If you can’t fit into that old sweater grandma gave you ages ago, don’t throw it away! For $30, computer programmer-by-day and fashion-maven-by-night Gayane Avanian, and her son Haik Avanian, will take your old sweaters and reknit them into scarves, gloves, and hats.

I don’t know how long it takes to un-knit the old, design a new one, and knit it, but they should charge a lot more than $30. Maybe they want to get us hooked, and then jack up the price. I’ll weave you alone now.

Yup, in crochet we call that “frogging.”
