We gladly feast upon those who would consume us.
Yo. I "made" this crop top by cutting off the neckline and cuffs of a little boy's shirt...easiest reconstruction ever!
I found some Noro (esque?) at tha thrift!! What a sick find; I love color-changin' yarn.
A necklace/collar I made a while ago. All materials from my fabric scrap stash; some pieces are handdyed.

MASTER OF T-SHIRTS/Tommy Long Legs, aka Sir Bozzington, aka Thomas Dean of Lost Woods Print:
(in the center)
Thomas is an elusive printmaster; his creations are difficult to buy on the internet so I recommend tracking him down in person. Start a petition HERE for a Lost Woods etsy shop!
Allyson and Jeremy, who not only do amazingly detailed and thoughtful work, but are also genuinely sweet people. I love seeing their friendly faces at craft shows (NC-VA connexxion!).

UNRAVEL YOUR SWEATERS TO MAKE NEW CLOTHES
Do it! One of the best tutorials is at neauveau fiber arts.
Here's another tutorial from craft. Her advice is mostly the same as I would give, except I don't avoid intarsia sweaters; they take longer but actually yield more yarn in the end!
