It's all Odds, this whole ball of yarn was made completely by joining all the ends that you stitch part in then snip off what's left.
The bit that you cut off the very end of the yarn, I simply knotted them together.I would use it to make a textile sample for my art. That way you end up with lots of different textures/ colours etc
But it could just be used to make a scarf or something similar like a free form bag."Waste not, want not" As they say so often in the Uk. I'll post whatever I'm inspired to make;-)
My idea of the perfect girls night in. And mine would be the wine and not the water.
Knit happensA frog in the Pond!A whole knit cafe meeting and not one new stitch created.Project froggedI had seem a jumper in the charity shop and I really liked the colours of the yarn and I figured that at 35krs (£3.50)
A bargain that was just waiting to be un-picked.4 hours at my knit cafe with two assistants aka experienced knitters that tookpity on my slow progress!The acrylic that looked surprisingly new/was surprisingly old. it was so fused together, that the frogging took forever.
Half a sleeve, one afternoons work and that wasn't even me that managed it!;-(The moral too frogging, don't do it!Think twice before you recycle someone else's handy work, or smile sweetly to your knit cafe buddies. This project is shelved..........
On one of my Google image knit-searching........ I found this and what a cool outfit, it was only the picture and no text. So I don't know what the outfit was worn for.I just felt completely inspired by it!It reminds me of chocolate;-)

1)camera
2)pre made crocheted/knitted sample(large)
3)my little 1st aid kit purse/contents Hooks Needle and Scissors
A project that's been on my to-do list for a while, I just hadn't had the courage or the opportunity. Pre planned my route, not to public but a walk way.
So hopefully no passers-by while I committed my knitted crime. I couldn't believe how nervous I was, like getting caught red handed with a spray can!
It's organic knitting and recycled a double whammy. It was fun,
I attached Rasmus to the tree next to me and got to stitching up as quick as I could.
Caught my breathe, unattached my dog took a quick photo and ran off with a huge smile.
My 1st crime since I was 10, caught steeling exercise books form school;-(
