103tl1 Nesbit, MS 67, joined Jul. 2011	The good thing is that you can make as many squares as you have yarn for and set them aside. After a while you can match enough squares to complete a blanket. Remember all the squares don't have to be the same, just complimentary to each other.

wildflower04 Bowerston, OH 31, joined Mar. 2012	I have made Aryans with different colored squares but I had those preset. But like you said I can make squares with what. I have now and save them until I have squares that will compliment each other

beadz Waterbury, CT 40, joined Apr. 2008	Hm, I used to have scraps all over... I do some blankets but a lot of toys. I usually just try to minimize my scraps, shorter starting tail when possible, so they're often too short to do anything with later (4" or less.) and with toys they just get tucked or coiled inside to add to the stuffing.

wildflower04 Bowerston, OH 31, joined Mar. 2012	Quote from beadz: Hm, I used to have scraps all over... I do some blankets but a lot of toys. I usually just try to minimize my scraps, shorter starting tail when possible, so they're often too short to do anything with later (4" or less.) and with toys they just get tucked or coiled inside to add to the stuffing. I keep my starting ends short too, but I usually make granny squares and always seem to end up with a little of the seen left over that is not enough for the size squares I make. try using scraps up by using them to connect my squares but still end up with left overs. making toys with the scraps is a good idea if I ever get the courage to move out of my Afgan comfort zone. Thanks for your advice beadz

mtjschultz Ocean Springs, MS 45, joined Aug. 2012	I love the idea of donating the scrapes to a church or school for kids crafts. I didn't think of that.Hello everyone I am new to the site. I have been crocheting for years, taught by my mom and passed it to my girls (2). They have steered from it and is trying sewing and needlepoint. which gives us a vaiety of things to make and give for gifts sometimes we have a girls night and do what we do and talk.. it'a nice (they are 22 and 24 years old). has anyone tried making the baby cacoon? That is my next project to accomplish.

bbwtreasure Winfield, IL 54, joined Feb. 2008	My friend, uses left over yarn to crochet blankets for the dog/cat shelters. Just start crocheting add yarn as you go until reach what you need. Cats and Dogs dont mind if there is different colors or odd stiches. Just a note, you will need to use same ply or weight.

dmajyk9 Live Oak, FL 57, joined Dec. 2012	Have you ever checked youtube, they have videos that instruct how to do crochet stitches, I've made a few things after watching those videos. When my daughters were little I would take scraps, crochet about 20 chains, then I would double crochet twice {occasionally 3 times, to help the curl a bit more] in each chain, it will curl. Then chain a straight chain that is long enough to tie a bow around little girls pony tails. I usually sew about 10-12 inches here. After you have that part crochet another 20 stitches, double stitch twice in each chain, 3 double chains will not hurt if you add occasionally, when you reach the 20th chain, weave the thread through, tie the knot. You have a beautiful hair decoration for a girls pony tail, tying it on with the long straight chain in the middle, tying it into a bow, the curly chains will hang on each side. Doesnt take long to make one.

mowboss54 Springdale, PA 70, joined Jun. 2009	Ive been crocheting since I was 9. Ive made a lot of things but the most Ive made were baby afghans to sell. I couldnt work fast enough to keep up with the orders sometimes. I didnt have to advertise, the word of mouth and places I crocheted in were all I needed. I used to take my crocheting in the bar where I ate my lunch and in the break room before work. Now I just have a bag ready to grab when I go out the door for dr visits and such. There's a site called Crochet Talk where people share information and patterns that you might get some help from on the scrap yarn. Also for those little snippets of yarn that arent big enough to do anything with try setting it out on the porch railing or somewhere where the birds will see it when they are making their nests. It adds color to their creativeness.

starcrocheter Thornburg, VA 55, joined Mar. 2013	Hi, I'm new on here. I use my scraps for toys. I design and crochet toys for a farmers market. finger puppets are great because you don't need a lot of yarn and who cares what colors they are. if it's multicolored it's an alien or a monster. the kids love them. I also use them for things like making eyes, ears and noses. so many uses. my students bring me their scrap yarn. If anyone lives in the Richmond/ Fredricksburg area and needs lessons. I teach for $8 an hour. I have crocheted for 40 years. Star

godsbutterfly1 Woodlyn, PA 62, joined Dec. 2010	This was made with a shell stitch. The brown area was back stitch only while the other colors were done through both stitches. This was an order for someone. It's queen sized. I found that it went rather quickly because I used a large needle.

I thought I could crochet year's ago, made a few things, but now I see the difference...looking much better. Recently I tried to make slouch hat's. Didn't work out as planned, so still trying. I should have them figured out by next winter. Interesting thread, good info. [Edited 12/23/2013 1:00:00 PM ]
