Praise Be to Boing Boing

For they have shown me how to save my poor, decrepit Converse.


Yep, those are knitted Converse tops. Granted, the soles of my Converse are a bigger problem than the tops (the bits of rubber on the heels that say All Star, for example, have ceased to be), but still, replacing the tops would help.

I am so tempted to try this.

Dude! Those r...whacked! I say do it... but use thinner yarn-the chunky looks bulky... though I bet it's more sustantial...hmm....

The girl who made them says she did them a size bigger than she should have, so that might be part of the problem. Although I wonder if using a thinner yarn and double knitting would help?

yeah, I think that's what I would do!
