Leftover Yarn

I went ahead and burned my usual Monday post on Saturday with my finished (without face) cat pillow. Had to be done. I'm not sure how I would have titled that post today, but "Kitty Cat" was sitting right there. I would have been an idiot not to use it. 

Which leaves me with nothing to post about today. And, I am once again without project. Sigh. 

I really need to get a case of start-itis. That's when one has many ideas, so one pulls out yarn, collects patterns, and casts on a bunch of projects at once. I could use a bunch of projects sitting around right about now. But, alas, nope. I have one lone project waiting for me, that I might eventually get to.

So, what to do? 

Well, I could do another cat pillow. I still have blanket yarn. 

Not quite enough for a cat in any of these (well, maybe the white variegated), but perhaps another two-toned cat? 

Last week I had a tote bag idea. I don't have enough yarn on hand for what I'm envisioning (and I'm not buying yarn for this), but I could do multi-colors. 

Yes, that's red, purple, magenta, and orange. Together. Maybe? Maybe not. Just thinking about it right now. (And if you go through all the posts I've done where I was thinking about something, I suspect only about half of them got finished projects out of them.) 

Then again, I've got nibling birthdays coming up. Twins on the 25th. Middle nephew May 4th. And niece in June. Perhaps I should ask them if they want me to knit or crochet them anything. I probably shouldn't have waited this long to ask the twins. 

Anyone have any good ideas? I've got spring break this week, so I have some time to put some projects together.

  1. What about a dog pillow? Or would that be too predictable?

  3. Plus it looks like different kinds of yard. I can't envision anything with the colors you have left, but I'm sure you'll come up with something/somethings I never thought of. Well, I didn't think of anything.

    1. Yeah, that's the problem. The yarn is all the same type, but the colors don't work all that well together.

  5. Purple, magenta and red may well go nicely together, but I personally wouldn't mix in orange too. Good luck finding a project!

    1. Oh, I might have to do the orange just because. Sometimes I like to clash colors. It's fun.

  6. Maybe some small little critters for them?

    1. Yeah, maybe. Not for the 23-year-old, but maybe the rest.

  7. I think a multi-colored totebag would be pretty.

  8. What about a little gift for the birthday celebrants?

  9. Hmm, visiting Pinterest will lead you to many many ideas (maybe too much!). I have an "inspiration" board and sometimes it helps ;) Enjoy spring break.

  10. A multi-coloured tote bag could be really fun and unique!
