Remixed is leethal's in-progress ebook, available for pre-order now. When you pre-order the book, you'll immediately receive all patterns that have already been released (listed below) and you'll get each remaining patten as soon as it's made available. (Follow the blog and/or the leethal ravelry group for ongoing updates about Remixed pattern releases, etc.)
The ebook, which you'll receive when it's complete, in addition to the 8 accessory patterns, will included several tutorials for making different kinds of recycled yarn - how to unravel sweaters to reclaim the yarn, how to work with that yarn, spin it, ply it, turn it into art yarn, etc. All knitting pattern samples will be made with various kinds of recycled yarns, but of course the designs can be knit with any yarns you choose, making these patterns great for using up single skeins and random leftovers.
The full collection is currently $16, but will be raising to $20 after all 8 patterns are out to ebook pre-orderers (which will be in March). At that point, all 8 patterns will be released for sale individually, for $3-5 each.

This moebius loop scarf can be made with any weight yarn, as wide as you'd like it, with a single yarn (self-striping works well) or striped between 2 or more different yarns. The simple slip-stitch pattern is the same on both sides, giving this moebius no right or wrong side. Wear it once around your neck for a bit of warmth, or double it up for a big, cozy cowl!

This swirly hat pattern can be made with any weight yarn, fitted or beret style, slouchy or not, custom sized to your head, with buttons or without, with a pointed tip or not. With all these options, you can make it over and over, use up hat-quantity yarn leftovers, or random single skeins, making a totally different hat each time.

This cabled shawl is made up of connecting sections with cables traveling and twisting from one part to the next. Use any yarn from around a dk weight to a super bulky, and make a shawl as big as you want, stopping whenever you're happy with the size or whenever your yarn runs out; bind off in a contrasting color if you want to. A color-coded stitch marker system makes this complex pattern easy to follow.

These fingerless mitts are custom sized to fit your hands, and can be made in any weight yarn. There are two different design options for the top hand section, as well as a 2-color option. These mitts are filled with swirling twisted stitches, decreases, yarn-over eyelet holes, and garter stitch texture; they are worked modularly from the top down.

This beginner-friendly asymmetrical scarf is meant to use up leftover scraps, starting a new yarn/color at each row, and leaving the tails as fringe. The easy knit/purl stitch pattern is worked lengthwise with very basic short rows, making one end of the scarf twice the width of the other end. You'll need 2 long circular needles to make this piece, but they can be different sizes from each other.

This potentially-terrifying ski mask has a ribbed neck section which can fold up, turning the piece into a warm hat. The simple any-gauge pattern is knit from the top down, with the eye and mouth holes placed by trying it on as you go (unless it's for a gift, in which case sizing info is included). It's finished with crochet edging around the eye and mouth holes, which can be done in a contrasting yarn for an added design feature.

This is a bonnet or hood style hat, which can be made in any weight yarn and in any size, with i-cord or braided tails (or no tails), which looks especially intriguing in stripes. Short rows throughout make for a completely modular construction - no picking up stitches or seaming, as the first part is worked sideways, then the head worked from the top down, and edged with more sideways garter stitch across the bottom.
