Dress+Shirt=Beanie
I made another beanie and created a stop motion time-lapse so you can see the process. After the third crocheted hat I finally got the hang of it and it doesn't take much time anymore (an estimated 3 hours: two nights, two movies and you'll be done ;) ). So this is a wonderful way to repurpose your unwanted clothes.
From Jumper to Beanie
If you want to make yarn out of a shirt or an old jumper, have a look at the instruction sheet. What you then do with the yarn is up to you. With this jumper I crochet a beanie and because it was so much fun, I tried another one with three shirts:

I found a book
I just stumbled upon a nice idea for book recycling if you don't have a freebox close to you. You label one of your books with a special code you can generate on the site, and leave it somewhere for someone else to pick up. If the finder enters the code, you can track the journey your book makes.
