Un-Knitting
I decided that it was time that I picked up a few sweaters from the thriftstore, after reading Alterknits. So I stopped yesterday at the Local Salvation Army shop and found a few very interedting sewaters, I made sure that the ones that I purchased had a hole in it so that I would not feel so bad ripping out a perfectly good sweater. Well I hit the mother load. I got 8 sweaters for $7.50 and allof them were either large are x-large, so I know I will get a goot amount of yarn out of them. I started on the natural color 100% cotton sweater and I got 175 yards out of one sleeve, I am planning on dying it once I have knit it into a scarf so that I can use it after it is washed and not have to wait for the dye to dry. I will post some pictures later today.

I love buying sweaters expressly for recycling. You can find such inexpensive but good yarn that way!
Hope you're having a good week!
