My day was made on Tuesday when the article on etsy came out about the book (read it here). I got the book for the holidays it was so satisfying to see one my projects in there- I was so excited I couldn't find Aaron, so as I was looking for him in the bookstore, I couldn't hold it in so I told the people working there- and then they gave me a discount!
There's little me with my hobo bag!
The bag that was in the book sold long ago so I decided to make up a new custom listing, since I only have a tiny bit of that yarn left (most of it has went into these). So, practice what I preach, I went to goodwill and found a bunch more wool sweaters to start unravelling:
Sometimes I find it a bit difficult finding sweaters to unravel- it seems to be the time where I can find ones that I would actually wear! Had the yellow one been a different color, I probably would have kept it. I did also bring home a nice blue one that Aaron decided to keep.
I'm waiting next for my ball winder to arrive, my little holiday/birthday present to myself!
In the meantime, yay for creative reuse! Check out the book for some fabulous ideas & inspiration!

Congratulations on your publishing debut! That's so exciting! I'd like to see what a ball winder looks like when you get it. I've been winding up some skeins of wool into balls, and it's quite the labour...
Wow, how exciting! That is really neat. Congrats!
oh my gosh! Congratulations - that is SO exciting!
