Tutorial – Combining scraps
If you’re like me, you have a LOT of little bits of leftover yarn. They’re too small to make much of anything with, and too big to just throw away or cut up for stuffing. This particular box is mostly Red Heart Super Saver, with some other worsted weight yarns well, such as Red Heart Kids (discontinued), and Red Heart Soft. Many scrap projects rely on using small sections or motifs in each yarn, but that usually also means weaving in dozens of ends. So how can we work these up into something fun, without a nightmare finishing task? One way is by combining scraps together to make a jumbo yarn. Basically, you work with…

Kristen
As many of you know, I spend most Friday evenings with a knitting/crochet group at my local yarn store. This past Friday, I got to meet someone new, and I thought you might like to meet her too. This is Kristen: Kristen is 8, and already crocheting like a pro. When I met her, she was working on a cupcake carrier – a very clever design that her mom taught her. After making holes around the edge of a plastic container, Kristen crocheted a poufy top with a draw string. The end result was a cute and sturdy bag with a nice flat bottom. I imagine this would make a great project…
