Re-purposing...

Remember when I bought this yarn?


...and made these socks?


Well, the first time I washed them, they shrank!  Though the yarn was 75% wool and 25% polyamide, it obviously wasn't machine washable,

I hesitated to throw them away but what else could I do?

And then I got inspiration from this article...

So here are the socks now...


...re-purposed as wristwarmers!
