HEY. So I have A LOT of yarn that I need to cut down on, and get rid of, so any ideas on things that I can make? I pretty much have every color. (preferably stuff I can finish in a day)
And another thing is I buy a bunch of multi-colored yarn because its pretty but never use it, so any ideas on what to use that for?
I also have red and white fluffy yarn that I have zero ideas for?
Well the red and white would be a cute candy cane, and I hav this book and it has soooooooooooo many patterns for multi-colored and non multi colored yarns!! It’s expensive but a great purchase, (my friend got me it and I didn’t know how much it was I feel so special ) Amazon.com
I’m dealing w all my yarn right now bc I’m moving in a few months - feels like I have too much!
But I put my small balls of lots of colors together in one bin and I will use those for clothes, accent colors, stripes, etc. for dolls & amis.
Another - have you heard of random acts of crochet kindness? It’s where you make a small crochet item and then leave it out “in the wild” for someone else to find.
Usually it’s got a little note and a poem or saying, explaining that it’s meant for the person who finds it, and a QR code or link to post it was found.
The objects can be anything. I use my pieces that I finish but don’t like. it’s a good way to keep practicing and then doing something good with the work.
HTH
My octo pattern could be made in any color, as well as my pop it snakes! If you had black and yellow/orange you could also make my penguin pattern! Just check out my shop!
I get attached too, but usually not when I’m experimenting those frankenbabies - ugh! I have that artistic temperament of feeling like it isn’t worth anything if it doesn’t match my vision.
The RAOCK idea freed them from my clutches to go where they’ll get the love they deserve
I like to use variegated yarn with simple stitch, like a moss stitch, and do the borders with solid colors that complement the interior of the blanket .
