Over the last few days I have completed two projects with some absolutely yummy yarns. Yarn that was either the perfect color or just sinfully sexy and I had leftovers. Now is some cases like a big ole pot of spaghetti, leftovers are required. Why is spaghetti so damn good the next day? Ok back to the left over yarn..usually the yarn gets lost in the bottom of a project bag never to be seen or used again and I just couldn’t do that this time.
You already saw the hat I made with the left over Plucky Snug, which is getting tons of love on Ravelry I might add :). Even after the hat I still had yarn left. So I saw this head ban on LuckyHank and decided to make it. The “Twistin’ the Night Away” and I casted on right away. A quick knit that I cleverly included all three colors ;p
Can you believe even after that I still have yarn left ahahahahahahahaahahaaa. I have to find something I can make with the remaining yarn because well it’s just to yummy to lay around 
so if you think of something let me know. Okay? Thanks
Now onto the Touring Cape and that yummy Yarn Hollow TOR worsted. I basically had a skein leftover. So I started with a headband, because I absolutely love those things. The pattern for this one is called Hot Mess Headband lol but I have may enough left to make some boot toppers. At any rate I will not leave one strand behind..this yarn will be used..ALL of it!
What do you do with your left overs?
Knit on my fiber friends…knit on

UPDATE: I finished the headband
The headband is gorgeous! I enjoy using leftovers. For the pieces that are just too short to use- I’ve been collecting them to put out for the birds in the spring. I’ve heard that the birds will take the strands to build nests. I’m hoping I’ll see some colorful nests this year! 🙂
Wow!! I didn’t know that!!! See you learn something new every day!
🙂 I hope it works! I’m excited to put it out for the birds in a few more weeks!
Wow…nesting yarn for the birds. GG you always fine cute to stuff to make with even the smallest amount of yarn. I’m trying now to gather all my leftover yarn. Maybe I can do a fairisle hat.
Oh that’s an idea too 😋
I usually save my yarn and make scrap projects. But I’ve been eyeballing these headbands. I didn’t quite know how they’d pair with natural hair. Now I do. LOL! Which headband do you like best?
I like the hot mess headband. I usually like the big gauge because I thought this would take a long time. But it has quickly become my favorite
Love the twist in the scarf.
