Painted Goodwill Sweater

These are photos of the dried and finished hand-dyed and hand-painted reclaimed/recycled yarn from a brand-new sweater I found at a thrift store, as I had posted a few days ago. I love Goodwill, and it's not just because of the sweater finds. Philosophically, I support their mission and their accomplishments in empowering the people they serve through their job training and opportunities program.


Top Left: A composite showing the yarns in different views. The 2 on the left were dyed in the same pot in the same manner. The one to the right is shown spread out in the next picture. Top Right: I hand-painted this one to get more frequent and random color change. Bottom: Another view, with one partially wound.

Happy Birthday plus One!

I've just found your blog (through YKW?, I think) and I like your dedication to knitting AND social justice. I'll be visiting more often.

Long my you wave, youngster.
