Crafty Christmas Countdown: 9

I've had this one wool sweater since high school. It's dark green wool and kind of nubby and about four sizes too big. It was my favorite sweater to wear lounging around the house. When it finally became more hole than sweater last year I couldn't quite bring myself to throw it away. I tucked it into my craft supplies with the idea that I might felt it and turn it into mittens or something. 
I came across the sweater again when I went digging for some scrap fabric to use for a needlepoint project. It was the perfect background for this camel.
