Scrap Happy April Yarn
Sleeping Bags?
I have finished knitting a pair of socks from the lovely ball of yarn I got for Christmas! The Hittys always wish I would let them have my hand made socks, to use as cosy sleeping bags…

Shawl?
…or nice bulky shawls.

Leftover
But there was quite a lot of yarn leftover this time…
.

Knit
…so Floradora set to knitting…
.
.
Sew
…and sewing on buttons…
.
.
Cardigan
…and made herself a cardigan.
.
.
Glow
It is more practical than a giant shawl…
.
.
Cast on
…and there is even enough leftover yarn to make some human-sized socks for my new baby great niece and nephew!

the humans and woodens are all so clever. The colours of the socks and sweater are so cheerful and Spring-y. Happy scrappy Spring!
We love the yarn! It is so nice to find multiple good uses for it.
Beautiful knitting project. As always colours fascinating me. And beautiful dress too. I can’t do without talking about photographs too, they are great. Thank you, Love, nia

Oh, I do love a Hitty-sized scrappy project. The original socks are gorgeous, the cardigan is wonderful, and don’t forget to show us the baby socks next time!
Thanks – it is nice to find uses for ever smaller scraps of yarn…and the Hittys always appreciate a new cardigan!
Using up scrips and scraps can be so fulfilling. You’ve done a wonderful job with your leftovers.
Thank you so much. We do feel very pleased when the scrap yarn heap gets smaller!
I’ve just begun sock knitting, and now I’m addicted. So comfy!
I love sock-knitting! Lots of sock have emerged from my knitting needles – Large and very very tiny!

I love the ball of yarn, it was a lovely gift from a relative and am so glad to be finding so many uses for it

We have a sudden influx of baby humans among my friends and family!
That lovely cardigan was a wonderful use of leftover yarn! The sleeping bags…I mean socks are nice too!
