Odd balls....

No, not the Sex Education show! Odd balls of yarn. What do you do with them?

If it's an odd ball of DK or 4 ply you can always knit a baby item. A ball of furry eyelash yarn can be used to trim something. Sometimes you can land lucky and find a pattern that needs several colours and the ones you have actually go with each other!

Or you can throw caution to the wind and just start knitting!! That's what I found myself doing with this cardigan for my daughter and it makes quite an interesting knit when you're nearing the end, hoping you won't run out of a particular colour.


The problem I have now is I still have some chunky yarn left and I'm wondering if I can get a cardigan for my niece out of it...
