DIY ~ Old Sweater to New Sweater Refashion

Happy Friday Eve!!!  It's Thursday, which means it's time for the last installment of Kim and Natasha's Old to New in October.  It's bittersweet, this has been so much fun and it's really forced me to revamp some old yucky things into some new, really rad ones!

Today's refashion is this cowl/turtleneck sweater.  I mean, idk what to call it.  Look at this bad boy...

Right?  No wonder I never wore it.  I had no idea how to!  So I decided to make it work.  I turned it inside out, and cut the neck out, just below the seam.

Then I grabbed a needle and some transparent nylon thread and hemmed the new neckline of the sweater using a wide running stitch.  Literally, 5 minutes later I had this:

Wayyy cute now, right??  I may snip the bottom and hem it too, I'm not quite sure yet though.  Now, what did I do with that hideous neck?  Ahh, behold my snood!

It's so perfect and warm, and PERFECT for the insane CO weather, it was 17 degrees out this morning, so this came in handy!  This is such a great way to revamp an old piece that I would have just donated, but now I have 2 cute and wearable pieces!

Here's a little recap of all my Old to New in October projects, which was your favorite?
