winter wool projects part four – knitting roundup

This is the last post in the winter wool projects series. Below are a few links to some knitting projects meant to challenge. I understand that it is very cold down south. Mum’s pipes froze and she went without water. Minus five. I don’t miss that. So if you’re down south, you probably don’t want to hear that it’s still t-shirt weather here. And I tend to feel the cold. So when I was drooling over the sock patterns, thinking that I wouldn’t mind a new challenge, I realised that I’ll probably only be able to wear them for a couple of weeks. Oh well. 

In the last post I added some links to online yarn stores. Do you find yarn expensive? I guess if your hobby provides you with something functional afterwards, then you’re getting double value for your dollar. However, I found these step by step instructions on reclaiming yarn from thrift store sweaters at Chaotic Crafter which would massively reduce the cost of knitting.
