I've heard lots of good things about "Second Time Cool" - maybe we can get the author to do an interview for CAGW? Hi Skye,

I would add Second Time Cool: The Art of Chopping Up a Sweater by by Anna-Stina Linden Ivarsson, Katarina Brieditis, and Katarina Evans. If there's one thing you can find a lot of in thrift stores, it's great wool sweaters that were given away because of one or two holes. Luckily you can cut them up and make mittens, scarves, hats, etc. They even show some skirts made out of sweaters. After all, even those of us in Texas have to get through February! Nothing like a wool scarf for that, and even better if it's green and DIY. Great list!
