Random waffle number 1 - crochet shrug
A little while ago I crocheted a marbled green shrug in a silky cotton thread. I'd made it to wear to a celebration and as there was lots of dancing (and I mean lots) I soon threw it aside as I was far too warm. Fast forward some years and I realised that since that evening, I'd only worn it once or twice at most. What a waste.
Rip rip rip,
Now I have 300gms of cotton yarn ready to be transformed into something else. How exciting :)
Random waffle 2 - knit/crochet mitts
Something I knitted last winter (you can see that they have been well used) are my favourite mitts. However, my fingers and thumbs would freeze! So I came up with a plan. It was in my early knitting days and did not have the confidence to knit 'fingers' so I crocheted mittens.
I still needed to get my fingers out so I could take photos, drink tea, knit so I left an opening on the palm.
Happy warm fingers? You betcha!
That green silk yarn looks lovely - I look forward to seeing what you decide to make with it. :) Have a great week. x
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to rip an un-worn garment back and then to have exciting times planning what to do with it. That's the way to do it! Clever you with modifying your mitts.
ReplyDeleteIts a lot of work frogging something, looks like a nice color. Good idea with the mittens, they look warm.
ReplyDeleteYour mitts are very clever - what a good idea! Ripping back something I've made always feels like a big step, and I dither over it for a while, but I am always glad I did. It's lovely to end up with a lot of 'new' yarn - I wonder what you will make with it? x
ReplyDeleteTwo great ideas. Look forward to seeing what you will make with the lovely cotton yarn. xx
ReplyDeleteVery re creative and what a great use of the yarn.
