Knitted Scarves - How to Knit a Scarf at WomansDay.com - StumbleUpon
Project excerpted from Head to Toe Knits: 35 hats, scarves, gloves, and socks you'll love to knit. A luxurious scarf (made here from pure Aran wool) that will be the envy of all your friends.

Double Knitting - Knitting Community - StumbleUpon
Double knitting is the exception to many knitting rules. You can double knit a stockinette scarf, and it will lay flat instead of curling. Color knitting will be reversible, showing a negative of the image on the back of the work instead of floats. How is this possible? Double knitting produces a fabric with the right sides showing on both sides of the work.

Salvaged drawers = modular bookcase
I picked up these drawers on Freecycle. They were salvaged from the kitchen of a 1940s house that was demolished. My original plan was to put the drawers on wheels and use them as under-bed storage. Turns out, no two drawers are the same height, which would look janky. So I tried stacking them vertically instead (anchoring them to the wall, of course). You could also hang these drawers as individual shadowboxes.
