I picked up Country Living (Feb 2010) issue over the weekend and loved their clever idea of transforming old sweaters into covers for lampshades, vases and things. Calling it their "wallet-friendly" project, they also make it easy as one just hot glues the sweater onto the piece. Covering anything - bowls, sconces, vases, bangles... cushions. Off to the goodwill!
Update: Thanks to reader, Brittany, she has directed us to the stytlist's blog, sweet paul, who created this project, and gives the how-to online. Thanks Brittany!

I simply fell in love with the cushion....

thanks Brittany!
This is inspiring! As if I needed another reason to peruse the sweater section at the thrift store....
just this evening i pulled out an old sweater from my goodwill giveaway bag and started wrapping it around an old pillow!
