Addictions
OK, I think I'm totally addicted to unravelling sweaters now. It's like crack to me. I can't wait to go to the thrift stores to find more sweaters that nobody wants so that I can unravel them. It's worse than bubble wrap, and I have it pretty bad for bubble wrap too! I'll sit there for hours popping each one or sometimes if the mood strikes me, I'll roll it out like a red carpet and walk accross it while the bubble pop in between my toes...*sigh*...I need help.
New Item:
In between getting my sweater fix, I managed to finish a shawl with the remainder of the first recycled sweater. I think I got the sparkle better in the picture than I did for the wrap. I still have some of the yarn left over which I might sell as a supply (I don't have supply section yet, so it will be something new). I just have to figure out an easy way to guage the yardage of what I have left....any suggestions?
In more news:
I found out this morning that one of my halter tops made it into a treasury!

I feel you on the yarn recycling. A few years ago, I went crazy with it and I STILL have some yarn leftover from it.
ReplyDeleteThat shawl is beautiful! What a great thing to do with an old sweater. =)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I LOVE popping bubble wrap. I can't stop until they're all flattened.
ReplyDeleteI think it is so cool that you are able to reuse yarn like that. I never even thought about it...but then again I'm not that great of a crocheter. Unravelling is fun, but popping bubble wrap rules!
