another addiction! i need MORE!
i am compelled to use up all of this recycled sari asap, apparently. i just can’t help myself.
even tho, i’ve found some incredibly strange things in it, like peanuts! not to mention, it is chock full of wood chips.
but, it is fun and colorful! it is a good exercise in messing with my color palate that i have in my brain.
some more fun things i spun.
a close up to spy the two little sections of coil-y-ness.
and
made with recycled wool & recycled sari.
recycler
an obvious name for it.
i have a bunch of other things that i’ve been procrastinating on; this week is the week to do them!
my mom visits thursday, so hopefully she can entertain the youngins while i get some serious work done.
i have two important ‘announcement’ type things too, today.
first, the lovely Shannon Okey NEEDS OUR HELP!
grab your sticks and string people!
from shannon:
”
I’m project-editing two new books in the Lion Brand “Just…” series published by Potter Craft. (Potter Craft brought you Amy and Jillian’s brilliant Big Girl Knits, which posted its very own Big Girl Knits 2 CFS to the Knitty designers’ list yesterday — official CFS weekend event #2!)
In this case, I’m editing Just Socks and Just Gifts. Other books in the series have included Just Scarves and Just Hats. Each book will feature 30 patterns, which can be knit or crochet. Just Socks features…well…socks
and Just Gifts includes quick little projects of all descriptions.
We’re working on short deadlines here, so if you’d like to submit,
please send an email to me before the 10th with the following information:
- A detailed description of the pattern, with sketch or photo if possible
- Previous design experience, if any
- Will you be able to knit or crochet the project by mid-May?
- Can the project be knit or crocheted in Lion Brand yarns? Which?
That should suffice for right now. As I mentioned, the deadlines
will be pretty tight. We’re aiming to have all finished items to me by
mid- to late-May, so the tech editors can get to work pronto. Designers
will be paid, and you’ll receive yarn from us to make your item if
accepted.

They’re almost objects of art just as they are - I’d love a ball hanging from my ceiling!
PS. Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog - very kind of you!

So cool. I love the colors of that yarn.
Can you card any of that silk in with some wool, or would that not work?
