Keeps on giving...

Happy Sunday everyone! Happy Mother's day to you if you are a mom! I hope you  have been spoiled much. Since I am not a mom, this day if no different for me. That means typical Sunday stuff. Getting ready for the work week and spending some time with my yarn.

As I may have mentioned a million times, I am working on WIPs. This one has been on the hook for a while. I know it is a project that will take some time to complete. But I figured I need to work on it at least once a week if it is ever going to get completed in my lifetime.

As I am working on these grannies, I am reminded of each project that was completed with them. Not only did these balls of yarn at one time produce a project, they are now helping me to create another one. How cool is that?

Not sure why the pink and green ones look so washed out, but they were as bright and colorful as the picture of the granny. Anyhoo...it is kind of like the memory lane of knitting. What do you do with your scrap yarns? Do you want to see some fabulous projects that other did with their scraps?

• This baby blanket is adorable. Add the baby and it makes it super adorable!
• I may have mentioned this one before but now that it is completed, it so deserves another shout-out. Ivy is lucky she doesn't live close to me because that blanket would go missing!  
• These scrappy socks are just fab! (Not sure why I have been saying fab lately)
• The usual suspect...the sock yarn blanket. This one is wonderful!
• Of course the hexipuff craze needs to be included. These puffs make me happy!
• This scarf not only made me really excited but introduced me to someone even more obsessed with sock knitting than me. Don't believe me...take a look at her blog. She has knit like 47 pairs of socks in 2012 so far!

Since that last blog has me reeling, I am going to go back to my socks scraps and create, before I get seriously side-tracked. 

Happy yarning today and I will see you later this week!

XO

all this talk about sock scraps got me thinking about my sock scraps. i put a bunch together earlier this year and then promptly...did nothing! here's the pic http://www.flickr.com/photos/savannahchik/6409323659

btw one of the things i love about your projects is that you really run the gamut of colors - especially for socks. i'm trying to take your lead and branch out a bit more.

That sock blanket is going to be amazing... then again, I have such a soft spot for grannys.

I love all those. My last bunch of sock yarn scraps, I gave to a friend who made yarmulkes. I think a square blanket of funky socks are in order. Your blanket is going to be fantastic. What a great reminder of knitting past.

Cool, I can't wait to see your granny squares come to life.

hope you have a great week!

Someone knits more socks than you? Hard to believe. Every time she blinks she must have a new pair.

It is so lovely to be able to use up scraps, and be reminded of what you did with it originally. A true trip down memory lane.

oh, great! i'm working on granny squares with my sock yarn scraps too. it's mostly fun, but also tedious. and, really, it'll get done when it gets done. :o)

Such sweet like granny squares! If you think that my blanket it pretty, well I would argue that yours is even more wonderful so far. I also love seeing pictures of that shawl, it is one of the best combinations of yarn to pattern I have ever seen! I hope you have a great week Andi!

What I do with my scrap yarn? I keep them, and that's all! I'm looking for the perfect way to use them.
Thank you for all the links!
And your granny squares are adorable! I might copy you!

[Lisa]

All four of those colors look so well together! As for scraps, the grand plan it to knit a pair of striped socks with all my sock yarn scraps someday. Although I have a few balls that are enough for another pair by them selves :/

[Kepanie]

I can't wait to see how your grannies are put together. What a clever idea!

[sam]

Great projects. I have a scrappy sock yarn blanket on the go that I also think is going to take forever. And I'm making one of the linen stitch scarves for Joe.
