I spoke yesterday on Stash Less about how restrictions can make some projects sing. So today I thought I could post you to some inspiration around the same topic.
People using recycled yarn.
Grid Junky - Jerome Sevilla who is a super inspiring maker who I came across on etsy (I think?) some time ago. He exclusively uses recycled yarn for his projects and his knitting is gorgeous. He shows his process to harvest yarn on Tumblr. He documents his projects in a really inspiring and helpful way. Jerome's designs have a really unique feel to them which he talks about a little bit in last week's brand new Woolful podcast (which you should really have a listen too!) this week and was so interesting.
The Better Sweater project - although this isn't updated that often, I love the outcomes of this project. I'm really hoping she continues to document her process as I find her garments so wearable. It makes me want to not be so lazy and go yarn harvesting.
Here is a post about the How To Recycle Yarn and a second How To Recycle Yarn post and a third.
And after you have listened to last week's Woolful podcast you should have a listen to Jules of Woollen Flower, who is one of our super special teachers at The Craft Sessions (and Jacqui Fink of Little Dandelion) in this weeks episode. I haven't heard it yet - it will have to wait until tomorrow as it is ridiculous o'clock - but I can't wait.
