3 shrunken sweaters = 1 sweater dress + 2 mittens + 1 pants + 1 hat

What can one do with 3 shrunken men's sweaters? Make a sweater dress of course (and some other stuff......)

Sweater 1 - midnight blue merino wool polo style sweater
Sweater 2 - wine lambswool sweater with several moth holes
Sweater 3 - dark burgundy thick wool sweater

I thought the colours were quite complementary and a 3 tone sweater dress might be nice.
With lots of sweater remnants left, I was committed to make as many things from them as possible. I made a pair of thick wool mittens for myself, a pair of wool pants for my son and another wool hat for myself. I'm keeping the rest of the remnants for other projects.
You can see the details on my blog.

How cool is that - I am completely up for sweater refashions myself at the moment.
