Yoda's Ribbed Sweater takes on a new life


I bet you’ve been asking yourself for years now…what do I do with those Ralph Lauren ribbed turtleneck sweaters that I’ve been saving for 15 years? Well, wonder no longer.  When I was gifted an assortment of them, I rolled them into a ball and tossed them into my “craft bookcase”.  If you’ve ever been to my tiny studio, you may have noticed the bookcase with a curtain, it’s hiding a very, very, crazy craft secret! Tons of ribbed turtlenecks! AHHH. Anyway, I decided that I would use the ribbed turtleneck to make an infinity scarf.  I started the project and was about 15 minutes in, then I lost motivation and tossed the sweater back into the bookcase again. 
Once I started working on it again, I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I didn’t take pictures…but I did find this very helpful tutorial which describes pretty much exactly what I did, minus beer, The Knife on Pandora, and a lot of swearing at my sewing machine. Also, this chick is not funny.  But her pictures and instructions are spot on: boring blog Here is my finished product, please ignore the badly conditioned Irish fro.
