hey have you been keeping up with craftstylish this month? lots of great earth-friendly crafts… here are mine!
first, make a vest from an old pullover sweater, with different embellishment ideas…
like crocheting into the knit fabric:
and embroidery with recycled cotton:
this one has hand-stitched knit tape stuff i got at knittn kitten:
and a super weird pocket:
and that other one has slightly less-weird pockets:
that’s a lot of photos, but there you go. next up, recycled fabric scrap cuffs!
with examples of other ones i’ve made…
and last week’s was a handband from an old t-shirt:
with examples of other versions:
and some more photos…
and now that you’re caught up with craftstylish projects… something new! if you were curious about that designing photo a couple posts ago, it’s getting closer, so it’s time to reveal what’s to come! i’m working on a set of knit cuff patterns, a mini-ebook type thing, and hoping to have it all done in about a week (but it could definitely end up taking longer). so i’m showing you 4 of the designs here and now, then i may reveal a couple more later in the week before they are all released… the first one is my favorite!!
i love designing on a tiny scale like this, and since my chevron cuff got a pretty good response over on ravelry, i got motivated to get going on this project. there are more elements of the whole thing that i’m really excited about, but those details are to be announced later… i hope more of you out there like knitting mini-projects!

I just started learning handspinning with a drop spindle, so small projects to use up the yarn I’ve made are an excellent thing 🙂

These are such fun projects! I love the wristband you were wearing the other night–the green one with orange buttons. You have the most creative ideas!
