Ethical question
I have two sweaters that were given to my in a previous lifetime (read here: ex-husband). They are both very nice, hand-spun and hand knit from Equador. They were gifts from the ex's sister and BIL. The yarn is a bulky weight, kind of like Lopi.
They don't fit anyone in the house. Here is my dilemma.
Should I:
A: Give them away
B: Put them up for sale on E-Bay
C: Rip them apart and use the yarn for something else entirely?
BTW: If I could have kept the in-laws and just gotten rid of the ex, I would have done so in a heartbeat.

You should donate them to the Dulaan project. That's where a few of my older handknit items are going.
Or you could felt them and then make them into cool bags!
I say either felt them into a bag or rip them for yarn. I am a bag-a-holic so I say make a bag. ~Miss M
Rip em! I faced the same dilemman several months back with a sweater and decided to rip and re-use. Now I have several items I actually use, instead of a guilt sweater neglected at the bottom of a drawer.
You could rip it out and knit them into a cool felted rug. Or as katy said, felt them into a bag. I did and it turned out awesome!
Frog that handspun :)
I would definitely rip them! Especially if they were gifts from the in-laws that you seem to think were quite nice. :) Two sweaters would give you a whole bunch of very nice yarn, perfect for felting projects that were already suggested!
I'd rip them too!
