Recycling.......

I have had an old lambswool jersey sitting in my sewing pile for years. It was one I used to wear to school and then, after it started getting holes, I wore it on the farm. It was really warm but had so many holes in and was unravelling. But it seemed too good to throw out.
Anyway, today I decided to recycle it. So I cut it out and made a jersey for Charlie.
There are a couple of things that annoy me - like I couldnt use the ribbing on the sleeves becuase it was stuffed so I had to hem them. And also I cut the neck too small - forgot to allow for large Robson heads. So although the jersey is big on Charlie it only just fits over his head. DUH!
