On the Krafters Korner listserv, we were discussing ideas for using odd balls and scraps of yarn that are too small for a big project, but too much or too nice to just throw out.
Here are the ideas we came up with, including both small and large projects. The small projects could use up one small ball of yarn, and the big projects could combine several into an interesting piece.
- Several people create items from scraps for charity, or as gifts for friends and family.
