From Itchy to Ideal: Yarn Upcycling for Charity

Yes, I’m still knitting. Are you surprised? Probably not.

I can honestly say that there is more yarn here around me than there was the last time I was here. When I go to my in-person knitting/crochet group at a local center there’s often someone else’s discards there staring at me saying “take me home”. So, I do. The yarns that my co-members leave for me are the fuzzy mohair and the wool. They all think they’re too itchy or they just don’t know what to do with them.

So they now live here.

I’ve got plans for them. They will become items that I will put in the gift shop with 100% of the proceeds going to the center so we can still keep our space there.

What else is going on?

It’s Michigan. Over the weekend it was cold then it was snowing then it was freezing then it was warmer then it was colder then it was warmer and raining and today it’s not quite sure what it wants to be. At the moment it’s warmer.
