I'm gonna get flamed here...

Yes, I have regifted. My husband's grandmother knits beautifully but, unfortunately, she uses the cheapest acrylic yarn available to make things. When my daughters were born, she made them each a baby sweater, cap and booties and when I washed them I was astounded to find that I didn't need to throw them in the dryer because they came out of the washing maching BONE DRY! Apparently, it must have been some kind of space age water-repellant acrylic she used. A few years later, one of the people who works for my husband had a set of twins and, yep, guess what I gave her as a baby gift? I wouldn't do it again, though, I feel guilty having given someone something like that!

Oh, and don't think that Gram is some sweet old lady on a fixed income who just wanted to make something nice for her great grandchildren and couldn't afford wool yarn. She is well off, she's just cheap. She gave us a painting of a bullfighter done on black velvet for our wedding gift that John remembers seeing in her living room when he was in grade school!
