Scraps

[katiebug081504]

I have way too much scrap yarn. I thought about knitting or crocheting a whatever blanket...but none of my colors see to go together. I've picked out a few of the scraps for yarns and bags..but I don't know what to do with the rest. It saddens me to look at it.

If you knit/crochet a stuffed animal, you can use it for stuffing!

Or maybe doll's clothes? Knitting Pattern Central has patterns.

what makes this worse..it's not really even pretty scraps. Mainly stuff like redheart..and other misc. brands that I got from the discount boxes at Hobby Lobby.

Definitely use it for stuffing stuff, then. Saves you from buying polyfil.

Oh, you could use it for dog/cat/pet toys!

Put all the scrap balls in a box or bag. Grab a skein of Red Heart in a bright color.

Take one ball and the skein and use as a double strand. Knit or crochet a blanket. When one ball ends, grab another. Don't look into the bag or box, just grab, join to the last ball and keep on going. The bright color will unifiy the mixed colors and you'll get a nice scrap afghan.

Or grab two balls (no fair looking) and begin an afghan with those. Join a new color when one runs out.
