I just found a fun way to create a baby blanket out of old sweaters. This is great for those people who don't know how to crochet or knit, and is a great way to recycle old sweaters. This tutorial from Martha Stewart tells you an easy way to make your own patchwork blanket.

In this tutorial they talk about felting the sweaters. Now, if you are like me, you have no idea what that means. So I did a little research for you and discovered this great article on felting sweaters on Craftystylish. The author tells you everything you need to know about this subject, including what sweaters will felt, how to do it, and some tips to help protect your washer and dryer. The benefit of felting is that the yarn will not unravel when you cut the sweaters. It also makes them fluffier and softer- great for a baby blanket! - Trisha
