What to do with odd balls of wool
 

I collected some wool for my mother and this is what she made with it. She stuffed the cushions with the filling from an old duvet and made the covers out of an old sheet.

(I taught her all she knows, btw ;))

Your Mother
 

You must have her annoyed!!

Ah no,glasshammer her other children are worse than me ;)

This is another blanket she made from scraps of wool,this time knitted

Lovely work Narizota. Your mum is a keeper!!! I once tried to make a crochet bedspread but when it came to joining the squares together I wasn't the neatest so it looked rubbish. What's your mum's secret for joining squares?

narizota, they are brilliant, don't suppose ya'd be able to tell me how your mam did the granny square cushion cover??

your mums very handy at knitting and crochet. i used to be able to do it but now i forget

recycling wool
 

Gorgeous rugs here, lovely and colourful.
I read something recently about woollen fibre duvets(as opposed to acrylic ones which is all I can afford). They're natural and breathable and all that; and I wondered if it was feasible to knit one. It wouldn't matter what it looks like, it'll be inside the cover; maybe a few bulky knit strips stitched together? It'd be a good project for recycling old woolly jumpers...

Hey, this is really very nice work! I especially like this colourful blanket. Shame I don't know how to knit ;]
