Hi Tracy, I'd like to try this out to use up some small but still useful
balls of yarn, are you planning any kind of a Crochet Along with this one?

Last week I saw a crochet pattern using scrap yarn that sounds interesting.
I think it's called the scrappy blanket.

You crochet a blanket, alternating a row of single crochet and a row of
double crochet.  Then you take pieces of yarn long enough to go across the
blanket and weave them through the double crochet rows.  You can then
crochet a border or leave the ends of the yarn pieces as fringe.  It said to
not use yarn thinner than DK, and to make either the blanket or the scraps
in a neutral color.  And the scraps don't have to be the same thickness,
which should add interesting texture.

Sounds like a fun way to use up lots of small balls of yarn.

Tracy
