[Nfb-krafters-korner] left over yarn

[jill]

Hi,
Those sound like great ideas.  Reading this made me think of Henrietta's
yarn dolls we talked about last year around this time.

Hello,
I've been pondering this one for years.
I made a cat toy by making a long chain of leftover yarn, fastening it 
off and putting key on the chain. the cat loves to chase it when i 
dangle it in the air.
Also:
eyeglass case, rosary bag, i-device case, cellphone case, tying around 
defective cassettes if you're still listening to NLS tapes, hair 
scruchies, those string-type bracelets that the kids wear, edgins on 
garments, if you know how to duplicate stitch, you could put initials on 
garments, all the little ornaments for christmas given you have the 
right color.
I've seen patterns for afghans that you can work with several colors 
provided that you alternate each color with white yarn but I haven't 
tried this.
the list can go on and on. Hope this gives you some ideas.
