Laughing Purple Goldfish Designs – knitting blog review

Laughing Purple Goldfish Designs recycled knitting
blog

Reuse, recycle and reknit is the motto of Laughing Purple Goldfish Designs and it's amazing what you can make using unravelled sweaters, rescued balls of old yarn and more unusual fibres, like wire and strips of fabric!

If you're new to this very creative form of recycling, then don't miss the tutorial section which includes instructions for recycling wire from an electrical cable, unravelling a jumper and making yarn out of strips of fabric.

There are also several fun free patterns to download, for both knitters and crocheters, which will help you get started on your recycling frenzy.

This is a great time to visit, as the crafty hands behind the blog have taken up a new challenge: 30 projects in 30 days! It's a pretty steep challenge, so do stop by and cheer from the sidelines!

Read a great blog? Write a great blog? Tell us what it is and why you like it, and you might see it here next Friday.
