Description:

Have a sweater that just needs to be hacked or altered or cut up or repurposed? Find something at the thrift shop with a cool pattern but no shape? Here is your opportunity to alter, hack, re-make, and generally play around with sweaters. End product is up to you, but consideration of your partner's profile would be nice! I'd love to hack several sweaters into a "new" sweater, but a scarf, stuffed critter, pillow, skirt, couch throw, sewing machine cover, wallhanging, dog sweater, tea cozy and tea tray rug, hat and mittens, set of mug rugs in a decorative "sweater" box, a basket made of coiled felted sweater fabric ... the possibilities are so exciting!

Have a few swaps under your belt, great ratings, and be committed to the Great Sweater Hack. I will always angel my swaps, but prefer not to be in that position!

Could you do a USA only version of this swap sometime? Only because of the postage rates for sending packages overseas.

Thanks for the idea, I was thinking about that, too ... I thought maybe overseas swappers might be able to make something smaller/ lighter weight. I'll keep that idea in the back of my mind, or anyone else is welcome to set one up as well!

We'll do it again, if it is a success!
