Whew! What a day!

School all day and then the kids had dentist appts and had to take the daughter to Michael's to get a solar system kit. I found some yarn in a clearance basket though. Three skeins of red cotton ease for $2 each and an unlabeled skein of fisherman's wool for $5. Whee! Next we have to go to "Open House" at The Liam's new daycare center.

I had fun recyclying a sweater last night.

Here's how. First you take a cotton Liz Claiborne sweater that you bought for $.99 at Goodwill.



You very carefully snip the seams until you find the one thread that you can just pull and the whole thing comes apart.

You'll end up with this.



Then you put your loose end in the ball winder and crank away.

Lather, rinse, repeat for the rest of the sweater parts and you will end up with this.



The noodle looking stuff in the left side of the photo is the yarn that was wasted. This sweater happened to have serged shoulder seams so there was a little bit wasted. But still quite a bit of yarn.
