Scrap Yarn

Getting rid of more scrap yarn...And I found the cutest pattern EVAR at ATERG Crochet's Etsy shop!  Who doesn't need a wee owl to keep company with??  ;)

Lowland Originals has a quick and easy shawl/wrap pattern to use up some of that leftover sock yarn you have lurking about...It's here.  You could totally make this out of worsted scraps as well, for when it's really chilly out.

I love how she's encorporated buttons into this little decoration.  Perfect for a kid's room, or your art room!

Scrap Yarn

ZOMGS BUTTONS!!!

Did I post this already?  I can't remember if I posted this already, but it is so cute!  Meli Melo has so many neat things on her blog...Check it out here.

This is a little bit more sewing and weaving in ends than I would usually do, but it is so much prettier than your average mug cozy... Instructables has tons of crafty crap beyond patterns for knitting and crochet, it's definitely worth adding to your favorites list.


                                 

Scrap Yarn

If you're anything like me, you have 5,641 balls of scrap yarn cluttering up your yarn room.  I am loathe to just pitch yarn because...well, it's YARN!  So I started scrounging around to see what ideas I might be able to find on constructive ways to use up that last little bit of sock yarn, or the worsted left over from the pillow I made for Mum, or whatever...Just how many scrapghans can you make, really?  ;)


Even good ol' Red Heart has some cute ideas:

If you have a bit more than just a hundred yards or so, or maybe if you have some handspun that's gathering dust, check out this bag on the Kathryn Ivy blog...I love it!!

Indigo Muse Knits has a pattern for fortune cookies!

And I could NOT resist this Rav pattern by Saartje Knits:

For the ecologically minded, you can save up all the tiny bits and pieces cut off after you finish weaving in the ends, and put them out for the birds building their nests this spring:
