Addicted

 You know all those odd yarn ends you end up with?
A bit of this, a bit of that.
All too scrumptious to throw away.
If you are a knitter you know what I mean.

You'll have a big box (or basket, or bag, or container of choice) looking like this:

I've started making Surprise Yarn Balls out of them!
I do a Russian join with the ends and wind away.
Just imagine the possibilities...
Scarfs, gloves, socks, leg warmers even shawls...
A knitted version of quilting :)

I've mixed in thicker and textured yarn with thinner ones, so I'm starting with scarfs.
I think I'll start collecting same weight sock yarns next.
Think Pippi Longstocking.

I'm so addicted.
It's knitter's candy.
And no calories :)
