Shortly after I learned how to knit I read about how one could recycle a sweater for the yarn.
Sweet! Cheap yarn I thought! I went to the Salvation Army and picked out a sweater I thought would be good for recycling. Huge, an XXXL, and 100% cotton. It was all cream colored and pretty nice. After a whole lot of trial and error over the last three years, I’ve been able to get the recycling of sweaters down pretty well. Here is what I do: First you need to pick out a good sweater.

Multi Strand Finger Loop Braiding. In this Instructable, I'm going to teach you how to make Finger Loop Braids.
With this technique you can make braids with just your hands that have 10 or more strands each. They can be used for anything. Bracelets, chokers, belts, hat bands, as trim on clothing, or furniture... If you need a strong lacing, a finger loop braid will multiply the strength of your string/rope by 10. To make the videos easy to follow, I made the braids out of rope. Finger Loop Braids were popular from the 15th to the 17th Centuries in Europe, There are still some forms of similar braids made in isolated areas of South America, Asia and the Middle East.

Supplies: some kind of rope, string, yarn,...Tools: HandsTime: Depends on the length and pattern of the braid but the ones I'm making only take a few minutes to complete an entire braid. Lets go.
