- Upcycling: Cutting up existing materials to create yarn.
- Reuse: How to unwind an existing sweater to reuse the yarn.
- Interesting and inspiring stitch techniques to use in the projects.

Alice also outlines how to take care of your knitwear, such as blocking, storing, getting rid of bobbles/pilling, fixing holes.

Knitting allows people to consciously slow down and make a connection to each piece they make, creating unique stories and imperfections that will be carried around for years to come. There is something incredibly exciting and freeing in the ability to make anything wit
