I’ve got loads and loads of yarn. My sister actually sent myself and our mom a box of random yarn and her crochet needles when we were interested in learning to crochet. I never learned, but I have decided that the yarn she sent is perfect yarn and needs to be used. No more letting it sit in the closet, I am on a mission to find projects and see how creative I can get while using up my yarn stash.

First project involved using 4 balls of Patons Soy Wool Stripes yarn. I loved it from first glance and knew I wanted to make something special.
First project was a mini cabled scarf.

Then I decided I need some fingerless gloves to match. So far I have one knit up but I will get the second one done in no time.

Next project is a Grumpasaurus. He was made from Brown Sheep’s Cotton Fleece. The colors I have wouldn’t work for my normal knitting projects, but I found the grumpasaurus pattern and knew this yarn was perfect. I still have to embroider his face, but he’s fun to play with right now.

I have a couple more toy animal projects I want to knit, but first I need to knit a stocking cap for part of a friends baby shower gift. Then it’s back to using up my yarn stash.
