I found a lacy pink cotton vest I had made and barely ever wore, because cotton stretches. I frogged it, wound the yarn, and weighed it. Surprisingly, I had enough for a cute little sweater for a four-year-old. Not that I know any four-year-olds in need of cotton sweaters, but that's what the Box is for.
The re-used yarn was a little lumpy in the final product, but blocking helped, and the first time it gets tossed in the washer and dryer will help even more.
I went through my button stash, not really thinking I'd find anything, and turned up these two delightful buttons. No idea where they came from, but the pink matches, and I only needed two buttons, so I'm happy.
