I am a crocheter. My aunt taught me how to crochet long years ago.
Like most crocheters (or knitters) I accumulate leftover yarn. Sometimes a small ball; sometimes a full skein. But, I don’t like to throw it away – you just never know when you’ll need just a bit of yarn for something.
Though recently, I did give my daughter a tub full of leftovers. She also crochets and thought it would be good for practice and such. (I kept two sort of small - ish boxes). And, several weeks ago, I decided to make a “leftover” blanket for my bed. It’s bright and colorful and it works for me. It’s not too heavy and should be just what I want for spring and fall (yes, we have those seasons – sort of - sometimes)
Think the next project will be a large basket that uses up to 4 different yarns all at the same time.
Well, off to do the math for the basket because the pattern pretty much says – make a circle and increase around until it’s as big as you want then no more increases. Continue until it’s as tall as you want.

ReplyDeleteAn ex-crocheter here. It's down the the hands, or not.
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is beautiful! Cannot wait to see your basket...crocheter here as well but I am in a rut. 💕
ReplyDeleteI love your blanket - but I hate crocheting!
ReplyDeleteboth my grandmothers tried to teach me to knit and crochet. After 5 minutes I'd say, "can I go outside and play ball now?" and kept repeating it. Wish now that I had let them cause at 77 I can't play ball any more and it would be nice to knit or crochet something for my ggs.
