Moths! That's who!
Evil, hungry moths got into my closet and munched on some of sweaters. The uneaten sweaters now live in a drawer lined with cedar.
My husband, who seems to think I can do anything, suggested I turn the ruined sweaters into bike jerseys. I wanted them to look nice, so I asked Irulan who has an outdoor goods sewing company to turn three sweaters into bike jerseys for me.
I'm wearing the red one in my avatar. I also have a pink one with buttons, that used to be a cardigan and a black merino one that Irulan sewed reflective tape onto, since I don't feel black is a good top half color on the bike.
You could do the same thing w/o moths and just get the sweaters at a Thrift Shop. I get a kick out of wearing cashmere while I ride.
