From scarf to wool on the posive side

Yes, You can destroy a nice scarf and yet do good.
I got this scarf and never use it, I love the colors but it was too long for me.
Now I decided to re use it. I started to open it and roll it to a ball.
I opened only half of it - still a lot of opening to to. It is wool and furry so many of the stitches are kind of felted - so I stop and open it.
Slow job, but I think that it is a good idea any way.

Fairy dust

Lately I have been making lots of wool fairies.

The wool is a soft natural material, and I never guess what would the fairy I make will exactly look like. It is a surprise!
Somehow, fairies always find owners who somehow looks a bit like the fairy. How?
I think it is magic!
