Do you ever work the sleeves before the main body of your sweater? I'm trying this method for the first time, and I gotta say, this might be how I do it from now on!  

Working the sleeve first means I don't procrastinate on the task of counting or working into the sides of stitches: get that over with first, then I can continue with the rest of the sweater that doesn't require as high focus.

A great piece of clothing can be made with an appealing design, a practical style, a good colour combination and, most importantly, the right kind of good quality yarn.

Today I'm harvesting yarn!

One of my sustainable/broke person goals is sourcing all my yarn secondhand. A few months ago, a friend from church gave me a very old, well-loved green blanket that their puppy had shredded pretty badly. It had no sentimental value to them, the yarn was all fuzzy, and it wasn't worth trying to mend.

The blanket was made in strips, so I'm currently disassembling it for the yarn. That means frogging a little, running the yarn through my fingers to get the fuzzies and dog fur out, winding up, and then repeating. I have several hours of work into this already, with 2.8 more strips to go.

Yes, it's acrylic yarn, so it's not the most environmentally friendly. But the options are reuse what I have or send it to landfill. I'm gonna be making this into hats and giving those to a local clothing closet as the weather turns cold. (Yes, they will be thoroughly washed first with hypoallergenic detergent!)

Plarn is plastic yarn a way of recycling plastic bags and using them as a source of material rather then a waste!

Plarn can be used to support the homeless by knitting the plastic strips into mats for them to sleep on

What stitch is this?

this blanket is probably about 60 years old, my grandma tells me that my great grandmother crocheted it and asked me to find a way to fix it. it’s torn and frayed in a couple areas but my grandma knits, not crochets. it would mean the world to her if someone could identify what kind of stitch is used so we could find a way to fix it up or create something similar?

(i’m sorry for low quality pics, they were screenshots taken on facetime!)

Slowly spinning another scrap rolag to try out the new spindle. Tried to work the rolag differently this time, separating plies before putting it on the hand cards and keeping back a few smaller showy pieces of scrap yarn that i wanted to remain intact and adding those right at the end. They take an awfully long time to make though, at least with this particular blend of partially felted scarf fringe and the warp waste from that project mixed with ends ive been cutting off the handspun scrap yarn blanket as ive sewed them in. But the result of the last one was really fun to spin and looks so good as another blanket square, so it's worth the effort.

#handspun yarn #scrap yarn #spinning #supported spinning #rolag #love the person that posted about recycling yarn waste this way #really neat cycle. and like. i put a lot of time and effort into my yarn so ending up with a ton of it essentially shredded as warp waste #was so sad. definitely less sad now #spindle spins nicely as well even on the thicker sections

Doing some more work on the eternal wip (the second) and although it doesn’t look too big, it’s definitely entered the stage where doing a whole round in one go is an Achievement.

Also at the moment my scraps are more dark greens, blacks and dark blues. We’re entering the winter ring 🌲

So my wife sat on my yarn basket by accident last night. I fixed it this morning with Paracord and some hot glue. I used four knots total. The cows hitch, square knot, overhand knot and Cobra knots. Never throw something out you can fix.
