look what i found: a garbage picker like me
I’ve already confessed to being a garbage picker, but here’s someone who has me beat: Look What I Found! documents the adventures of a trash recycler in Amsterdam who often reworks items like old sweaters into new crocheted goods she then sells in her Etsy shop, LeChatCrochet. She’s the very definition of resourceful — she even managed to put an ancient dot matrix printer to use — and her finds range from flower bulbs to displays for her street fair booth to curtains from IKEA still in the packaging. I can always use more inspiration! — Mary T.
Just a heads up – she actually makes them into new CROCHETED goods – not knitted – hence her name, Le Chat Crochet! ;) There’s a pretty distinct difference and crafters that do either tend to be pretty sensitive when the one they practice is called by the others name!
Hi Mary, thanks for the feature! I had loads of visitors.
Sarah G — made the update; thanks! Le-chat, thanks for stopping in!
Thank you Sarah! But I never even noticed. Just so happy about this post. By the way I do occasionally (still) knit.
