a follow up on the sleeve of a sweater idea. Use a %80 wool sweater, wash in hot soapy water throw it in the dryer…yes felt the wool. If it’s a big sweater you might be able to pull the sleeve over the bottle/glass/mug or cut the now felted/won’t fray wool and sew.

For all of us who do not knit I have seen this done with old sweaters, just cut the sleeves off and slip it over the jar for the same effect! Thanks for the detailed instructions, this is a great fall decor idea!

hmmmmmmmmmmmm – I look at my recycling bin and my cupboards with a whole new eye – These are wonderful – it would be great fun to do these in linen or cotton for glass cozies :) I need another 6 hours of the day – to do all this.

Awesome idea… perfect for a knitter like myself who has made her family as much winter accessories as they could ever need.

Very cute. And the book is gorgeous; I’ve seen it! I love how Leigh takes something ordinary and makes it special. She has a great eye.
