I spent over an hour the other night organizing all of my knit-wares and filled a bag with all sorts of scrap yarn that I have no idea what I'll ever do with but I keep them anyway. I had actually been planning to finally knit myself some fingerless gloves (you know I've made so many for everyone else but myself?) and I was going to just use random mis-matched fibers but then I found myself shopping online for new clothes for Ivy and not finding any dresses I really liked so maybe I'll just have to make my own. I'm only using scrap yarns, pulling from the bag by chance, with some of the strands not even long enough for one row. But I think it will give it a cool effect. Or it could turn out looking like throw up.
You'll know how it turns out if I end up posting a photo or not.
sometimes those are some of the best projects.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it
A scrappy jumper would be cool!
ReplyDelete"Or it could end up looking like throw up." --nice Steph :)

Exciting!! My Oma used to knit socks out of her scrap yarns, and those were always my favourites. Can't wait to see the final product. It makes me wish I could knit!!
ReplyDeleteIt already looks so cute that I'm guessing not throw up.
ReplyDeleteoh you have to post the pic either way when you're done. and i'm sure it will be adorable. =) love the idea!
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching for it, or not! Bet it turns out gorgeous, just like Ivy!!
ReplyDeleteI bet it will be soooo cute! Can't wait to see the "finished" product!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that even if you throw up on Ivy she can make it look cute:-)
ReplyDeleteI love the analogy of making something beautiful out of the leftovers...weaving together a new creation out of yarn originally intended for a different purpose. I'm sure the end product is going to be gorgeous, especially on your little lady.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute already!
ReplyDeleteI think it sounds like a wonderful project!! That's wonderful, I'm sure it will be great!! Can't wait to see it!!
ReplyDeletesteph, you have to show me this!
