A while ago I had an idea - I wanted to make some things from something else, if you see what I mean. I decided I would buy some jumpers from Oxfam and other charity shops and unravel them so I could use the wool to make something a bit more 'interesting'.
And so Karma Creations were born. These are amigurumi that used to be something else in a previous incarnation. I really liked the idea of taking an old, unloved, unworn jumper and breathing new life into it. Also, it's amazing how much wool you get out of one jumper (although it takes a long time to unravel, especially if it's very thin and delicate wool).
So far I have made Daruma dolls from reclaimed wool:
a small creature named A'chu:
and two Tamago (or eggs). This Tamago has a Mohican:
while this one has banana yarn dreadlocks:
Each Karma Creation is supplied with a label saying what he used to be in his previous incarnation. All of these amigurumi lovelies are available to buy in my Folksy shop.
