I Went To...

 ... the post box this morning ...OH MY GOODNESS! The temperature is showing as 2 degrees C. ,but the wind! Talk about blowing right through you!! It is bitter out there ...... I just notice that it has started raining and I am SURE there is some snow mixed in there!

A PERFECT day for getting snuggled up x

I want to try this...




I dont know if you can read that .. they take old clothing and re-cycle it into yarn .. what a great idea ... any thing to reduce waste and the amount that goes into landfill. 

My friend has sent it to me to try out .. and, as I approve of re-cycling when we can, I am going to have a go with it. It feels a bit like cotton to me.

During the first lock-down, I went back to crochet (remind me to tell you the story of why ).. and must get some pictures of the projects I still have to show you all. This year as part of my Christmas present ,my son gave me this book..


SO, I am going to have a go with the pink yarn. The younger grandchildren have been through the book .. and lets just say there are not many projects left that they DONOT want! lol x

I will let you know how I get on x

Stay warm and safe

My dad's wife's daughter has crocheted many animals. . .she has done so many that she now creates her own patterns based on what is on someone's wish list! That recycled yarn is terrific. I hope you like working with it.

What a great idea with the recycling clothing into wool. I saw that on another blog but it was recycled denim. Will be interesting to see how you like it. Love the animal book.

Such a great idea to recycle ♻️ and made old clothes into yarn…
Looks like lots of fun crocheting 🧶 in that book.
Wonder what you’ll make first ?

What a lovely book. The little ones will keep you busy with requests. LOL

Forgot to say, my first big crochet project was with reclaimed denim. It had been turned into yarn. I made a huge blanket.
