A small leftover ball of yarn had been bugging me for a long time. Remember, almost two years ago. In addition to the ankle-high socks and almost-knee-high socks, I ended up making a proper knee-high socks. (They didn’t all come from the same ball of yarn.)<\/p>\n

Knitting always leaves annoying leftovers. The socks left quite a large amount of yarn so I wanted to make something from it. I’m not very good at knitting and it hurts my hands so I decided I would crochet this time. And because I wanted the ‘something’ to be something I could do while watching tv, it couldn’t be very sophisticated. Hence, I started a scarf. I tried to look for a nice pattern but I couldn’t find any (link tips warmly welcomed!) so I had to improvise. It’s not pretty but it’s something to kill time with.<\/p>\n

Scarf<\/p>\n

Last night, I ran out of yarn (as you can see; I used the last bits to make a couple of tassels)<\/p>\n

Now to the donor part. Today I went looking for more yarn to finish my unfinished scarf (this is obviously a vicious cycle). I went to two big stores — nothing! There were all kinds of nice colours, and I almost bought one nice fluffy red ball of yarn (or two), but not the mixed purple\/pink I need.<\/p>\n

Just now (as I came from the sauna and put on the knee-high socks because they match my pyjamas) I realised I could sacrifice the almost-knee-high socks which I never wear anyway because they’re overstretched.<\/p>\n

So, now I’m going to go watch Prison Break, cut open some knots, and take the socks apart. Let’s see how far I get with their help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
