It's What I've Been Working on Wednesday!

I made this infinity scarf out of some cashmere scraps the other day. I like how all the colors went together. I'm not good at putting multiple colors together, so i'm always surprised when it happens. As you can probably tell, I am still working on my lighting/photography situation. Sigh.

My scraps were getting out of control, so I made a few draft stoppers for my craft show last Saturday.



Hopefully, i'll have a fun pillow to show you next week. I am starting on a custom order!

So, what have you been working on? As always, feel free to show off your finished recycled wool projects on my Facebook page!

It's What I've been working on Wednesday! Infinity scarf & t-shirt quilt

I have been buying t-shirts at the thrift stores with themes my son likes for a while now. I finally had enough to put together into this "quilt" for him. He loves it! It may look like it's wonky at the bottom, but it is actually perfect... the wind was blowing while I was trying to take pics. If you have a 5 year old boy, a lot of the squares probably look familiar to you ;). This one with a Star Wars/dog theme is our favorite!:


Don't worry, I did get around to working with wool too this week! I used Suzannah's tutorial (minus the ironing, because I have been incredibly lazy this week) to make an infinity scarf. I used a super soft merino, and it is fabulous... much better than my bad lighting self portrait in the bathroom mirror pictures portray. It will be great for all the spring afternoons at the park watching Jack play while I try to stay warm :)


ETA: I was having a sense of deja vu as I made the infinity scarf, like I had made it before. It finally dawned on me that I made this the same way as I made my cowls last year, only this one is longer. Mystery solved!

It's Tutorial Tuesday! Recycled wool infinity scarf

I am always looking for new blogs, ideas, and tutorials, so when I found Suzannah's blog, Adventures in Dressmaking, I was thrilled! She has lots of fabulous ideas, tutorials, and is a very talented recyclist. Today's tutorial, for this gorgeous infinity scarf, comes from her blog!

Want to see how to turn this...

Go here for the tutorial! I'm going to make one for myself this week in cashmere!
