Ok, mohair craziness took over my brain last night at our knitting group. I came home with 43 balls of someone's destash! #wheredoiputit #whydoidothis #oooooohPINK

Do you happen to know of any ideas for projects that would use up lots of scraps of half a skein or so of leftover yarn? I have 10 years worth of odds and ends, all different colors and weights, but I want to find a way to use them all in one project. I've considered maybe a hexipuff quilt but I'm still trying to keep my eye out for other options. Do you or any followers have any tips maybe? (Ps your blog is amazing, thank you for all that you do!)
There are loads of patterns out there calling for yarn odds and ends, but the next one I think I’m going to make is from @dayanaknits, a pullover she designed and knit exclusively with scraps and leftovers:
If you want to do something a little less ambitious, you can always make a scarf or a hat using a MC with just a few rows here and there of a contrasting color to use up some stash yarn.
I’m sure followers have other pattern ideas, too. Good luck!

I have an idea for curing Second Sock Syndrome, and it isn’t doing two at a time. What if we just made two totally different sock patterns with the same yarn? No one would know the difference and boredom would be Vanquished.

Woohoo, a whole pullover out of scraps! You can do this, too... Stitch pattern on my blog. Ravelry project.

This pattern is a little tough because it leaves very big gaps where the purl short rows are picked up from the KNIT side in the round. It will happen with any short row technique, but I have a tip for dealing with them on my blog. Ravelry project. Pinterest.
