Those Before and After Pics
Kozmic brought up a good point on the ReKAL Knittyboard thread about Before and After pics. If you haven't taken a 'before' shot of whatever you're recycling please do! It isn't necessary of course but always cool to see. I just love the gory details ;)
Lynn 6 bucks for a used sweater?! Yikes either I'm spoiled by the 50cents to 1 Euro tables at the market here or I'm just really really cheap...hehe.

Links!
Oh yes, though it goes without saying, I'll say it anyways - if you spy a link or related page that would be of interest to the ReKALers at large do send it in or leave a comment!

ReKAL 2005
Why not? Recycling is a Good Thing, no? :) I've posted some handy links to the left on recycling old sweaters and a couple of ideas for what to do with those old sweaters (pillows and the like for those with "bad seams"!).
This will be ongoing thru 2005, no pressure as to start/finish. Besides, you just never know when you will run across that dreamy silk (or whatever you consider dreamy!) sweater just waiting to be unravelled and transformed into something wonderful. Leave a comment or send me a message, grab yourself a button and I'll add you to the participants list. Easy as that.
I'll be posting more later, obviously!
And a Happy Knittyful New Year to all!
