I love to knit, and I love to refashion thrift store garments. So why not combine the two passions? I've had this little pullover for a couple years now and have only worn it once or twice. I adore argyle, but the short sleeves really aren't doing it for me. It'll be so much more practical as a sweater vest to layer up during the winter.
So I detached the sleeves and unraveled them. Then I used that yarn and my tiniest knitting needles to create a simple ribbed band around the armholes.
So much more wearable now! And I plan to do just that now that it's getting chillier.

Oh my gosh, what genius! I never would've thought of doing that and it looks absolutely perfect! Nice job! :) Lisa
It looks like it was originally made like that, you couldn't tell that it is a refashion and knitted by hand. Very nice.
OMGosh! So clever!
