An Awesome Recycling Idea

I just found this awesome recycling company called Redesign Collective. Here is what they do:

Redesign Collective is a grassroots textile recycling and reuse company in Seattle. We divert post-industrial materials from design and manufacturing businesses and upcycle them.

I was impressed by the way they do their business by picking up textile samples and other "no longer useful" to the manufacturer textiles and redesign them into something beautiful. Please see what they do at:

Home - Redesign Collective (redesign-collective.com)

I believe as tactile, hands-on type people we should encourage and applaud any type of textile recycling.

 Happy Spring (I hope!)

Today is a beautiful day and I hope you are enjoying some sunshine along with your favorite fiber project! 

As we get closer to the warm times (aka Summer) we will possibly be changing our meeting place. Be sure to check the blog and I will post a new venue place, if we are doing a change for that week. We LOVE, LOVE Optimism Brewing's space, but if we can sit outside at a park or wherever we would like to be able to do that.

SO! Keep watching this site to see what happens. Be assured that for the rest of April we will meet at Optimism Brewing at 1pm until 3pm. Everyone is welcome, even if all you want to do is watch us create or just have a brew!!

Join us for Green Beer and Root Beer at Optimism Brewing: 1-3pm at 1158 Broadway (Broadway and Union)

Everyone is invited to participate, there is no fee, there is an elevator from the main floor of the library to the meeting room on the second floor. Come and see what your fellow knitters/crocheters are doing at the library! Oh, and there is parking on the Harvard side of the library with a limited number of spaces, but also the elevator goes from there to the 2nd floor. Here is the prior announcement:
