I want to share this list with you, in lieu of making one of my own.  And I want to have it available for reference.  What items sound good to you?

 

I love this idea for using recycled sweaters!  And this one is great too!  (my sweater squares are still waiting for me, but I'll get back to them.)

 

I love this tutorial for making your own buttons, but I don't think it's something I would ever have the patience to do it.  I can, however, totally see my daughter, Meredith doing it!  She loves shrinky-dinks!

 

I may need to make a few of these for my daughter's kitty.

 

My Knitting Books Project is already a success in that I started one of the projects last night.  I have found that picking a project and finding the yarn is always such a struggle for me that I end up knitting something I've knit before.  Like another scarf, cowl, or hat.  And I have been getting bored with that.  This is a Soft Basket from More Last Minute Knitted Gifts, and I'm using this scratchy but pretty turquoise yarn I bought at Maryland Sheep & Wool a few years ago that I loved, but couldn't use for anything that would be next to skin.  

 

 

Another thing I've realized is that I don't like storing my yarn in ziplock bags, even if it is a better storage method.  I like my yarn out in baskets so I can see it.  So in order to keep organized, I'm going to find some card stock tags (similar to what Quince & Co. uses) to attach to my yarn.  After all, the majority of my projects are single skein ones, so it should work.  Boy, this has been a fun weekend!  Nothing like playing with yarn on  rainy days, is there?  I hope your weekend was a good one.

Oh, and go Ravens!
