I have been trying to use up bits and pieces of yarn. I started this project last Spring and I work on it in the evenings when I watch TV. It is coming along but still has a long way to go.
Usually I can eyeball the balls that will make a row but sometimes I have to join the ends or give up and throw the yarn away...gasp!!.
As you can see it makes for some colorful stitches. Each row is a different color...I took the photo cattywhampus just to confuse you.

Cattywampus or not, it will be a fantastically colorful whole.
ReplyDeleteI like the look. Do you have a link to the pattern. I might try to use up some of my bits and pieces this winter.

DeleteIt sure is colorful!
ReplyDeleteI like wild colors like that. My grandmother used to make me blankets and afghans out of her leftovers so I could enjoy the wild colors.
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative and your work/hobby always turns out beautiful. If only I lived next door, I would want you to teach me how crochet.
ReplyDeletehat looks so lovely and cozy! 🧶
ReplyDeleteI like how each row has its own colour — it already feels like a blanket full of little memories.
And your “cattywhampus” photo made me smile.
It’s such a happy kind of chaos! Hope you’re enjoying those quiet evenings — they sound wonderful.
A few old farmers took leftover scraps of twine and wrapped them into a ball that eventually set records like the one in Darwin, Minnesota. Perhaps you should go for the largest ball of yarn!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it would be difficult to do. It's an excellent way to use up yarn.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of leftover yarn. The colours work so well together. It is a cheerful piece.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Bright! Cheerful! Warm!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell, that certainly is colourful :)
ReplyDeleteOK - very intriguing! And so pretty already, even with a small look.
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty.
ReplyDelete'Cattywhampus', that's a new word for me. Now I know! Love the bright colours.
ReplyDeleteThat is really fun!
ReplyDeleteOf course, I love all the colors! Just beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty!
ReplyDeleteLD....It is a masterpiece. It looks so good and you feel good using up all the loose ends. Some people would probably want to copy the look with new yarn.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love it ~ it's important to use it up and not toss it. The different colors are what make it special!
ReplyDeleteFun!
