Knitting "Green"!

You Can Make A Difference!

~~Reduce~~Reuse~~Recycle~~

We all can make a difference today on Earth Day and Everyday!

If you're a knitter...you can even knit "green"! Just check out Ravelry for "Green" knitting projects. I love all the hand-knit market bag patterns perfect for the grocery store or farmers market.

I enjoy making "Coffee Cuffs" either hand-knit or recycled from a thrift store wool sweater.

Hand-Knit Coffee Cuff

The Coffee Cuff Knit Six Ways pattern can be found for free here on Ravelry. I knit mine in JoJoland Rhythm, a variegated worsted weight yarn. You can probably make three cuffs from one skein of yarn!

How about you...do you have a favorite way of knitting "green"!
