If you consider the sweater as "fabric" the sky is the limit. I have covered cardboad boxes using the body of a now too small sweater to stretch over the box Also they caan be stretched over a lampshade for a quick change. :)
There are so many things you could make. It depends on you.........Cushion - Leg warmers - Mittens - Hat - Pot covers etc. All you have to do is find or make a pattern for the item you want to make and then use the sweater like fabric, and just cut it out and sew it up as you would any piece of fabric.........Don't worry too much about it! Just have a go!
