YARN-Using up bits of yarn

Needed to figure out uses for small amounts of left over yarn.

Barbie Doll Shawls

Stringing up broken chimes with yarn

 ^^^ they didn't stay there long

This is what they look like before the wind rips them to shreds.

What my craft table looks like on a good day

Pin wheel rescue. I use them basically to keep small critters from eating seedlings. Usually fails but hey. I realize they are usually less than a dollar each but if they still work without the "stick" I keep them.

sometimes even repaired they get twisted in the wind.

 

more chimes

kind of discourages me from using paper towels AND reminds me that I have not used paper towels in a long time

Kind of the finished project of the yarn wrap branch for birds :)

 Trying to use up yarn making a striped doll blanket fail LOL

July 2017  I used all the jewelry I no longer wear to decorate the wrapped rungs. I may have close up photos. Not sure. Going through pix taken since June and deleting a lot!

YARN-Holy Trinity Thrift shop- November 12 2016

Finally found a place to donate the items I made with the yarn given to me by Pauline. Holy Trinity is always cheery friendly bright and organized and thankful!

It is tough finding a place that is open when I am out.

  3 adult size red hats and one orange hat knit with ribbon for a child.

It better fit when done that's all I can say.

YARN-Unitarian Universalist Church Thrift Shop

Looking for places to donate what I knit each morning. I emailed this church and first answer was "no" those sound like cold weather items and we close in September. Next email reply was yes! So I got organized this morning and drove over there around 10 when they open. I had driven by so many times thinking they were open every day LOL

Rose shawl- acrylic

fine yarn multi colored purples shawl- like knitting with knotted thread yikes- but pretty

teal neck warmer

2 dusty teal adult hats

Maroon and grey adult hat

Two baby hats- lavender and lavender and creme yarn

 two hats- teal & purple and one purple with multi colored  Homespun yarn that Lion Brand makes. By itself that HomeSpun is difficult to work with- unravels, twists tangles. But worked with another acrylic it is fine.

CRAFT-Rock sweaters

I knit , so I have many many yards of scrap yarn. It was very hot here the other day and my brain told me to make sweaters for the stones I leave on graves. :)

on the graves

Bob's was missing the other day so I replaced it. Whoever is being such an asshole should know I have an almost endless supply of  yarn and rocks.

Today 9-7-2016 I drove by after getting air in tires and found Ma's gone. I will replace that yellow one late tomorrow.

Sad to think someone is being so thoughtless.
