SAVING SCRAPS FOR A RAINY DAY


I love hats and so I'm either online searching for a hat pattern or I'm working on one.  But, I have my days when I just want to work on small pieces so I can just kick it out.  Flowers & motifs are great to work on; I like keeping a variety of them on hand for that rainy day when you need to put that finishing touch on something you've finished and just not loving it, add a flower and kick it up a notch.  It works wonders.

Don't throw away scraps of yarn, practice pieces, etc., that would be such a waste....look at just a few of the darnedest *& prettiest things you can make instead.
