Just keep Froggin-Froggin-Froggin

Ugh, all this froggin...leaves me all frogged out!



















Extreme close-up...LOOK OUT! Peeling away at the seams.








































Here is the last peice of that sweater, waiting patiently to be frogged and transformed into something else. So far, I have gotten four balls of yarn, each wieghing close to or over 6 ounces. The last peice will yield two more of these balls of yarn.

And lastly, my rescued pet Luna decided to do some spinning of her own that night! Checkin it out, it seems to be in working order...unlike the reciever in the corner. She didn't like that too much so she trashed it. LMAO! Actually the BF did that. It's an old reciever that his Dad gave him to take apart....for the fun of it. *shrugs* Whatever floats zee boats!

Until next time...

Sweater Recycling Fun!

I went to Goodwill today. I was on a hunt. A hunt to find unwanted knitted sweaters to recycle. Boy did I! I spent $12 on three loverly sweaters. My foot is there for scale because the one beige one is HUGE! That one is wool, I think. The white one is a cotton blend with some acrylic sparkle in it, and the colorful one is a a mystery. I looked for sweaters that did not have a tag. The big one was easily noticed as hand knit. But the colorful one is a commercially produced sweater, and getting the yarn from it (serged seems too) was not difficult.


I took the colorful one apart first. It was a four piece sweater. I ripped out the seems for the arms first and frogged away! OOOOo pretty! It is a novely yarn that is spun up with some blue tensil looking like stuff.




OOOoh yeah, yarn porn at it's best! I was all giddy over getting so much yarn for so little! That sweater was knit in strips so I have some white single ply yarn from it as well! I will need to ply it with some thread as it wants to pull apart too easily.

More pictures of sweater recycling froggin fun to come!
