Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

Ladies I read that lots of you are doing baby things with your spare wool. Have you ever thought of using it in a blanket, for every project you knit, knit a square and sew them all together to make I nice blanket that you could also use for underprivilge babies or as cot blankets for your own. Its a nice way of remembering what you did with each different wool. You could always use them as practice squares for stitches your not sure of.

What a really good idea!!!!!!!!

Brilliant idea.

I already do that. I have also made tapestry pictures with the wool I used for my (now adult) childrens clothes.

that’s a really good idea! 

I used a couple of knitted squares to keep my jewellery neat and tidy and although it was more for practical reasons (kept standing on them ) than decorative everyone keeps complementing me on them!

also flowergirl sent you a wee pm hope you got it!

That’s a really good idea...don’t know about you but in my house..you can never have enough blankets :LOL:

That’s a great idea to use up all those odd half balls.

I even use spare sock yarn and make mitred blankets for my Romanian orphans.

That’s a lovely idea Connie...and they are very attractive with all your bits and bobs on them.

my gran used all her spare wool to knit a huge jumper for grandad but i never saw it or grandad for that matter
