Socks And Recycling

 


I've finished knitting a pair of socks for an order. I used wool I had already spun. I just had to wind it into skeins from balls and dye it. I think I can do the rest of the order from stock. I'll need to replenish my stock of course, but I have some leeway. 

At the moment I'm preparing for tomorrow's craft group meeting. We're going to make milk jug covers. I was worried I didn't have enough suitable beads to sew around the edge of each cover,  but then I remembered some beaded knitting I was given. The two pieces look as though they're intended to be made into a handbag, but I'm never going to do that. They're just lurking. So, I've unravelled one of the pieces and voila, I have enough beads for tomorrow.

  1. What a great way to repurpose an idea that doesn't work (beaded knitting project).

  2. Creative recycling. It’s good that nothing goes to waste or sits unused.

  3. The socks are lovely but I really like the way you made the 'lurkers' visible! Hope you had a fun and successful craft day. 😍
