A large basket of half-used skeins of yarn turned into a warm, winter throw. None of the skeins were large enough to make even a pair of smittens with. But together they pack a colorful punch!

| This throw is about 3 feet x 5 feet. |
It was fun to crochet again, and I got to practice my color-transitioning skills, and my keep-the-edge-even skills, much harder in crochet than in knit.
Afterward, this is my little pile of leftovers, some only inches long:

Note Julia's grammar book and my grade book, under the yarn.
Yes, we've started school for the semester, just today. |
Then I made a nice headband for a lady from the market who asked for one in a pretty blue.
The next big project will be another
stripey blanket like I did last winter. This one will be a gift for someone else.

very pretty blanket and headband.
Happy New Year!
Very pretty. I always think it is very gratifying to make something beautiful with scraps.
You do beautiful work, M.K.! I am impressed!
That was a very productive stash-busting project. I saw a lady today wearing a black headband similar to your blue one. It looked very snug on her ears. I might add one to my to-do list.
the stripey blanket turned out really neat. Great headband too.
Way to go! I love the scrappy blanket! You are an excellent crocheter!
What a great and colorful way to use up bits and pieces.
And I didn't know you'd written an e-book! How exciting!!
I really want to learn. But I am so cack-handed with things like this! Your work is beautiful x
