Recycled wool book list

Ok, here's that list I was talking about yesterday. These are in no particular order. Please let me know if you know of one that is not on this list & i'll add it. Most, if not all of these books can be found on Amazon.com.

Recycled wool books:

- Sweater Surgery: How to Make New Things with Old Sweaters, by Stefanie Girard
- The Sweater Chop Shop, by Crispina ffrench
- Felt it! Stitch it! Fabulous!, by Katheryn Tidwell Bieber
- Felted Wool Fashions: Making New Styles from Old Knits, by Vivian Peritts

- Sewing Green, by Betz White
- Wool Felting Workshop, by Vivian Peritts

eta: I have added a Swagbucks clickable box at the bottome of my right sidebar. Swagbucks is a new search engine (like using Google), and when you use it you randomly win "swagbucks"... points to redeem for stuff. When you have 45 swagbucks you can get a $5 Amazon.com gift card. I have won them already, and the Swagbucks add up fast! If you click through the box on my blog it will give me matching Swagbucks that you win, so lets earn us some Swagbucks together, and we can get some of these books!

Crispina Ffrench

This amazing recycled wool artist, Crispina Ffrench, has a book coming out in August, "Sweater Chop Shop: One-of-a-kind Creations from Recycled Sweaters" (book cover pictured above), an Etsy shop, and website. Currently she is traveling Ireland, which you can read about on her blog. If you happen to be lucky enough to live close to the Pittsfield, MA area, you can attend one of her workshops, where you can learn to make one her "potholder" rugs, remake old sweaters into newer more fabulous ones, or just attend an open studio!
