For this week's craft tip, I have a little recycling tip. Whenever you have a lot of ends in a crochet (or knitting) project -like my tetris scarf- you end up throwing out a lot of wool. I found the waste really annoying and plus the mess made with the yarn ends could get pretty intense. Here is my solution: I got a freezer bag and that's where I put my ends. I know what you are thinking, okay, so you got a mini garbage bag for your ends, big deal....but here's the cool thing, I now have stuffing for my various stuffed projects. The yarn I collect in my bag can be used for small stuffed animals or cushions, depending on how long I decided to collect it. TA DA! Waste not, want not.
I also wanted to show you my updated scarf. I commented on the previous blog that I ended up starting over and using double instead of single crochet. I like the results and I wanted to show you how it looks now:
