second use projects

i used to be a t-shirt!

this was a fabulous idea! very much a prototype but its great and works!
i cut around the body of the t shirt continuously all the way over any seams.


  • balled up it weighed 100gms



    lets start knitting!
    i used 9mm and 12mm needles.







    hey presto! a hat!



    analysis:
  • a very exciting second use project, very satisfying on the eco feel good factor.
  • quite time consuming to cut the t shirt up, 2 hours approx.
  • very quick to knit up as using large needles.
  • i thought it would feel very soft, like a t shirt. not as much as you would think.

projection

  • must do more! in different fabrics.
