Cleaning up my act (recycle by extreme makeover)

I made a bolero a year ago. Not checking the gauge, it turned out a bit strange and I decided to “unmake it”. What to do with a few balls of once already used yarn? (Or a few balls of never-used yarn.) That doesn’t fit for wrapping packages? (Thick wool normally doesn’t...) Knit a baby cardigan! No babies around? Knit for a doll. No dolls around? Put the knits in a bag together with the other baby knits. By then, it’s not classified as yarn anymore, making room for new balls of yarn and another project… ;) My strange bolero will soon be reborn as a X-mas red wool cardigan with glitter red effect yarn, size 6-9 months. I can recommend mixing wool and glitter, it makes a different but not to pretty surface.
