Rethink, Reuse and Rejuvenate


South Beach Washcloth Set Free Crochet Pattern from LionBrand.com

Recently, there has been a trend for going back to basics, and handcrafted washcloths and kitchen mats are back big time.  I have to admit, I considered them beginner projects until I participated in a craft swap and a nice woman from TN made some beautiful and colorful kitchen cloths for me. You can create colorful and creative household items with cotton. Wrap a set in a beautiful ribbon that can be reused or recycled and you have an eco-friendly, functional and fun gift.  Cotton is cool - just sayin'.

Lily Dish Mats (Crochet)

Free Dishcloth Patterns: Knitting from Tipnut.com has a wonderful array of dishcloth patterns for you to knit.

Let's rethink, reuse and rejuvenate our surroundings this week and soak up the good vibes.

Decorate with knitting on your mind...




Wine bottle container from $1 bin at Michaels holds your longer needles in one spot.





















A bare corner with a vintage cigar chest gets spruced up with super large needles in a vase fron the dollar store.




Stickers from events and from craft vendors make your laptop unique and fun.
















Stack your yarn for charity knitting in a basket (a gift) and tie a decorative bow on top.












Charity Project Basket (from Goodwill) keeps your projects clean and together. Basket full? Time to spread the joy!


New place, means new decorating opps. I thought I would share some of the ways I decorate with knitting on my mind. Placing knitted items and accessories around our home keeps me motivated to create no matter how tired or preoccupied with life I am. These items help me stay focused and remind me to embrace the good in life. Talk about a natural mood enhancer!

You don't need a new place to spread the knitting goodies around. Look for new places in your current living space that you may have overlooked. A small corner or nook looks bare, or maybe cluttered - give it some flare with a festive basket of yarn. The more color the better. You can see that I have reused, and spent very little on these decorative items. Look around for creative ways to reuse items, decorate them and give them a new life...your home will thank you and you'll be officially dreaming, living, and sharing the knitful life.
