Green Knitters Club

LYS yarns too pricey with the holidays so near? Need to add to your Luxury Yarn Stash but have no money? Think Green:D

Well, one way is to repurpose. For this swap, you HAVE to repurpose or make everything!!

For an international version of Green Knitters Club! Hosted by @zilliah :) go here.

Swap Requirements;

1. Green Yarn - Ideas ;
   Frog a natural fiber sweater into balls of yarn. Yes, for $2 you can have enough wool to make on average 3 scarfs or 6 pairs of fingerless mitts! Look for sweaters, that are knit in the round or have self seams ( uncut). Most commercial sweaters will com apart in front, back and two sleeves, please make them into individual balls.
   Make Plarn
   Or make Fabric Yarn from scrap/worn fabrics.
   Or even spin your own! Wool, llama, bison to dog and cat hair to veg cotton/cattails and soy! All can be spun:D

2. Make a really cute Bamboo Chopstick Knitting Needle Tutorial or find a used one to send. Craftster Ideas Etsy Ideas

3. Make or thrift a small project bag. It can be as simple as a fabric drawstring bag, a thrifted sheet or patchwork bag or even a small scrap yarn felted bag ! Here are a few links to get you started; Aussie Inspiration More sewn bags Knit Bag

4. One knitting related thrifted / reused or handmade item. Sure you could add a few hand made stitch markers, a shrink film needle gauge, homemade measuring tape, even a DPN pouch ( perhaps make a set of 5 from bamboo skewers!) Or do you make lotions/ soaps etc? How about something to tuck into your knitting bag? Perhaps a travel mug or book or magazine from a used bookstore or your shelf!

This swap should be inexpensive and fun:D Enjoy!
