Scraps, Leftovers, or Remnants

| colorful balls of scrap sock yarn September 2022 |
I planned to knit baby hats with the growing pile of leftover sock yarn; however, after knitting three hats, I lost interest, and the pile of leftovers grew. Saturday, I assessed the yarn and decided to cast on a Silver Lining hat, which is a double-sided hat that I’ve knit twice.
Of course, this pile of yarn will make more than one hat, but one hat will make a dent in the remnants.
I pulled these colors, determined their weight, and cast on the first section of the hat.
The Silver Lining hat is a mindless knit, and I’m ready for that kind of project.
I've got the same pile of leftovers growing in the stash closet. I never thought of making a hat out of them. I might have to look into that.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this project evolve!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good idea to use of the leftovers and it will make a great hat, too!
ReplyDeleteAnxious to see the results, you are do good at using up scraps.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother always had some knitting project in the works. And she let me play with the little balls of leftover yarn that collected in a wooden bowl. But I don't remember if she used those leftovers for anything. Hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteit will be super colorful!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be so fun and colourful!
ReplyDeleteI once made a door wreath by attaching a bunch of little balls to a wire wreath frame (I think I probably just tied them on after securing the loose end with hot glue). Then I stuck an old pair of needles in it. If you want the little leftovers gone that is one way!
ReplyDeleteI saw something recently that used up small amounts of yarn...for the life of me I cannot recall what it was! I used up quite a bunch of left overs for The Peyton Heart Project a while back and i may have to do that again!
ReplyDeleteA dent in the scrap pile is always good. A warm hat is even better. I'm going to look at the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI've used lots of my sock scraps but still have more. Maybe I should try this hat for charity. Goodness knows, we have enough hats for ourselves. Thanks for the pattern link.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

There are always leftovers and I try to use them — both yarn and fabric — but I don’t think I’ve made all that much progress. Sigh.
