Reknitting

I just took apart an old project (one of the "can this sweater be saved projects"). I like reusing yarn. Sometimes I'd rather do that than knit with new yarn. I'm going to do The Braids cardigan. The one I did originally in Patons wool got attacked by moths. This Brown Sheep yarn seems to have been mothproofed so it's a good choice. I've got lots of the stuff that hasn't been used either. I think it's been 25-30 years since I got this yarn in exchange for some pattern knitting for Cascade Yarns. It brings back a few memories.

I was also looking through some old Knitters magazines at patterns I've wanted to do for some time. Now I am committed to doing more with handspun. So I think I will make a list of these patterns and start spinning with a project in mind.

I may be bringing some of my old archives back into Blogger. I don't know why anyone would want to read them, but I might as well give it a try.
