I used to just buy the yarn for the project and only had one thing on the go. Then I joined a sit and craft club and the rest is history. Then I got into RUclips and now I have so many many more hobbies 😂😂😂
A good idea for reminding yourself of what you was going to do with yarn, get a small sticky note & write what you are going to do & wrap it around a string on the item & stick it to itself. I have to do this for my own use cause I have a bad case of C.R.S. (Can't Remember Sh!t...) lol... This getting old business is for the birds...🤣Love your videos as always, Thank you for sharing the love...🥰🥰🥰
Good morning sunshine. I am up to 2 buckets of scrap balls. The plan is to make scrap magic cakes and then run several of them together to make either a scrappy bag or basket.
I have totes full of yarn i forgot about. You got me thinking about that gorgeous forest green tweed cowl neck sweater i wanted to make last year . I know where that yarn is ❤
Good afternoon Jennifer, hope your day and elbow are doing well. I make scrappy blankets with the extra and crochet on it as I go, just do it so not laying around. I keep a note at top with the hook and stitch I use. I have a cotton one and acrylic one going, I waste no yarn if I have a say have a skein left I’ll try and make some little items then put rest on my blanket. Great ideas, who needs all that yarn, when I had a lot of yarn, it overwhelms me. So now I’m finishing up all my projects and only get yarn if I need it to finish a project and if I can’t find it, I frog it and put it in my scrappy blanket! So now I but to finish. Then when I get to my other yarns, I’ll start a project til finished and order if needed. Til all my yarn is gone, then when I start a project, I’ll get the yarn I need. No more getting stuck. Love you, thanks for this fantastic video. Have a wonderful blessed day. Stay cool. ❤🤗
I like that you encourage people to use their stash. I go yarn shopping in my craft room. It's full of the yarn I love. I sometimes go online and put yarn in the cart and then leave candy don't buy it. I talk myself out of it. Lol
Hi Jen, I just made a C to C scrap afghan with my leftover yarn. With the smaller scraps I make granny squares. With the granny squares I go from one round to 4-5 rounds depending on how much is there. I use the snap barrettes to hold in my ends of leftover yarn. This keeps them from getting tangled up. Such a time saver along with saving the annoyance/frustration of untangling the yarn. Have a good weekend and be safe.
I always have a blanket made from left over yarns. They are always comfy and our doxie loves all my projects. I also make hats for donation and use leftovers to stripe hats.
Jen we all have those days where we need to rejuvenate, especially after finishing a large project or weeks of hyper production. Relax and enjoy the calm, take notes when those marvelous ideas come and you will be fully armed for the next production, love ya♥Jen I found if you turn the socks inside out the seems doesn't;t bother them , it worked for us. Jen make notes on that great idea whenever it appears and take a rubber band and attach it to that yarn that inspired you♥I just finished a sweater for my grandson with that same Jeans yarn, it's so yummy soft. WHOA< that basket holds a bunch of yarn, LOLGeez,, I have been trying to decide what to make with the single balls of Fibre' yarn I have, thanks Jen for the ideas. My left overs I collect until the yub is full and then I take those little balls and make a large cake of potpourri yarns and then use it to make baskets with it. Yes I enjoyed this Friday with Cinnamon Stitches and Jennifer R. love ya, write those ideas down or they will be lost.♥
So glad to see you get inspired by the yarn you already have! It was fun to watch you feel the same way I do about a basket full of yarn I’m saving. I do use a lot of leftovers to make Scrapghans for retirement homes 😊
Ophelia Talks gave me the best inspiration for the larger scraps and you make squares and then jeep them in a box / decorate the box. And at the end of the year or when it is full you make a blanket
Great question, Jen! Can't wait to see everyone's answers. Firstly, I try to use all the yarn on a project, also. If it's a baby blanket, I use the last bits to make a small-sized, lovey blanket for baby to hold. I try to cake up the leftover skeins and keep them together by weight, just in case I need a small amount for fringe or a border. That way they're neat and clean looking and don't look like trash! 🤭 The tiny bits? I make a magic ball of yarn and then crochet scarves or hats for donations. I never throw away any yarn that's over a yard. 😊👍🧶
Love your yarn bucket! I crochet hats for homeless and that is what I would use scraps for 😊 Definitely have Caron Cake FOMO! I use them as soon as I get them! 😊
I’ve got 2 buckets of scrap yarn, just finished a log cabin granny square afghan with leftover yarns from another project, you are right about going through your stash and see what you already have, have a great weekend😊
Hello hope you had a good day. I love that tulip color yarn, it is gorgeous. Also I love your shirt. I do have a clear bucket with a lid I keep my scrapes in. A lot from a granny square blanket I’m making.
I just used a partial skein of cotton last night. Made a water bottle cosy in v-stitch, went until I ran out of yarn. It was that random inspiration that struck after having it sit in my eye line for months. It was that nice little boost of finishing something that got me back to working on the poncho I started in July. Playing with scraps is clearly motivating for me 😊
Those Spice yarns would work well together in a sweater, beautiful, or even combining a few of those neons with the spice yarns. All the possibilities! ooohhh La La.
It was great spending time with you today. 🥰 I hold onto used skeins for smaller projects or a scrapghan. If there really isn't much left, I throw it out. Wishing you a beautiful blessed weekend 🙏🏻🤗💖
Hi Jennifer. Do hope you have an awesome weekend. I love all of the yarn you have cause a lot of them are so colorful and pastel too. I’ve done wash clothes too but I’d love to Ty to learn to do things that you have go do circles with cause I have yet to learn how to do that cUse all I’ve done are a huge blanket a prayer shawl and also a lap size blanket too then I stopped crocheting and that was in the mid 2000’s and I never went back to it cause now I’m nervous to do it cause my hands hurt me a lot and pretty much all the time too cause I have Arthritis in them and I’m pretty definite that dialysis caused that. But by watching you and you saying the different things that certain colors can be used to make, I really do want to get back into it again and I’m so excited to see what you have in store with the yarn you have an the ideas you have in your mind too. God bless and have an awesome weekend too. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🥰🙏🦋❌⭕️
Idea for the cakes. 1) Divide and separate them with a "main color". 2) Use a stitch that drops down over the previous row. That will break up the hard color change. 🥰
Thanks for the video and being real. Enjoyed listening and seeing the yarn. Yes I got sucked into the new yarns this season. Oh well. They are fun to look at. Have a great holiday weekend.
Jen, when I have little leftovers, I save them and I do 2 things. Some I save for the first round or 2 of a granny square. And some of the larger leftovers I will join the misc yarns together and have a larger scrap ball. Its actually pretty cool to make up your own skein of yarn
Hi Jen, love chatting about whats in the yarn basket, thank you. I love looking at yarns I have to see what might spark some ideas😊 I keep a dk and 4-weight yarn scrap box. When it gets a little full, I will pair it with a light or dark shade and make a blanket, I saw this on Jayda’s channel and it works really well. Usually then I will donate those. I do make a lot of hats if there is enough in the skein 😊 Any teeny tiny scraps I bin those as otherwise they would drive me crazy 🤣🤣 Love the yellow yarn, def pair it up and it would make a fabulous hat 😊
Good Morning, Jen I try to use the whole thing, I’m no good about using scraps. Love when you go thru your scraps and what you do with them. Have a wonderful weekend 🥳
Hi, that basket holds a lot. So many pretty yarns, can’t wait to see what you make. I have a tote that I put scraps in. Started using them to make Boggy Creek blankets and afghans for our use. Haven’t made them yet but could make Tumbleweeds for Boggy Creek. Pompoms the kids wear around their neck on a string. Enjoy the weekend! 🧶🫂
With that little ball of pink yarn you may be able to make a chapstick holder. Working on a bag with yarn I already had. Did order new yarn last weekend for a baby blanket.
I just returned to my "waiting for the doctor" lap blanket. Made it in c2c out of Caron Jumbo in the colorway Zinnias. Pretty much one whole skein. Now I'm adding a border in I Love This Yarn Metallic in white. Then I'm going to incorporate pony beads into the edging. Gonna be lovely!
Jen, I use the bits of yarn if not too small in making granny squares. As long as the yarn type and weight are the same I just tie on the yarn to the next piece and keep making my granny. I use one color, black, or white to make the project cohesive. I like making grannies like this because usually no two squares will look the same in my granny square blanket. I have also made a couple of other blankets using leftover yarn, but I tried to balance the colors on both end of the blanket to make it seem like it wasn't made from scraps. Great idea to go thru our old yarn, never know what you will find. I buy yarn because I love the color and then store and forget. Thanks.
Morning Jen❤ hope all is well. With scraps I usually will make scrappy blankets, usually a Chevron pattern and hold the thinner yarns together, that way I don't care if the pets get on the blanket, and the yarn is no longer sitting around
I agree with Hermione. I love to wash with the cotton scrubby washcloths. That is my favorite yarn for face and body washcloths. The polyester scrubby is awesome for kitchen and bathroom scrubbers.
Hi Jennifer - what a nice video - we have all been there with misc yarns and what to do with them. So glad they inspired your creative juices :) Looking forward to seeing whatever you come up with in the future. Have a most wonderful weekend. Blessings♥
I would love to remind you of yarns you've used, or projects you made with them. But, I can't even remember my projects, yarns and which hook I was using. 🤣😂🤣 have a Beautiful and blessed week! ❤😊
I’m knitting me some washcloths right now from stash, because I’m working on 3 shirts and just wanted something finished. Plus I need some right now. Hope your arm and elbow starts to feel better. Have a wonderful weekend.❤
Hey Jen 😀 Woman I swear we are similar in sooooooo many ways!! LOL I wasn't into wearing neon colors, but I did love black light posters, so I really want to make a neon blanket with black around the neons like a black light poster type situation! Yes they need to figure out a true neon purple and blue!! Have a super great weekend my friend!! Love Hugs and Prayers
I enjoyed your video, I really enjoyed looking at your yarn. I have not seen the cotton one that you are going to make wash cloths with. I will be looking for it when I go shopping. I hang on to my leftovers yarn, I make a lot of amigurumi. My daughter Brittany is a knitter, she has asked for my yarn scraps to make a blanket out of what I had left.
I can't wait to see what you do with the Halo and Latte Cakes....I have a bunch of if....tired of doing hats and scarves with it...looking for new ideas 😊
Yes, I do have a tote or two of leftover yarn. I use it to make granny squares when I can't settle on a project. When I have enough granny squares, I donate them.
Hi Jen . Nice to see you have your crojo back. I just finished the Luke’s blanket and I want something small to work on now. ( my hands hurt 😔 ). I can’t sit without something to do. You have a great weekend. Stay safe. 💜
The Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival is great. You will enjoy it. I have gone the last couple of years, even in the pouring rain last year. Going again this year and already planning my shopping list. I am trying to resist buying yarn and fiber until then but I doubt I will be able to control myself for a whole month.😊
Good afternoon Jennifer I don't have fomo? Because I am cheap so I see beautiful yarn but I don't like to spend money 😂😂! I enjoy watching you open all the beautiful new yarn! I'm in the middle of making your Luck's blanket in the Big Twist Prism in the colorway Pink Rhodoninte!I think it is looking beautiful! I just made a clothes granny hectagon cardigan with my leftovers for my great-niece who's 1 1/2 years old I think it looks really adorable! I roll my leftovers into a magic ball and make a blanket or a shawl or some kind of project out of them .😊
Hi Jenn, I've done the regular scrappy blankets that are ongoing, but sometimes I have scraps that are too nice to toss, and different enough that they won't go well into the scrappy blankets or that I feel are too nice to go into my scrappy blankets. But using them in a stripy sweater is great. I just pick a neutral or coordinating color to break up the scrappy stripes and go for it. I'm not a fan of stripes over the whole body, so often I just do the yoke or sleeves, etc in stripes. This way it can be different colors, novelty yarns, or whatever. I just put them together to make the right gauge. The other thing I've been doing is putting all the bits of sock yarn together and knitting tubes on my sock machine. Then when I have enough tubes, I'll stitch them together to make a double layer blanket. I've done this on my Addi machine with thicker yarn as well. It makes amazing blankets. If the edges are irregular at all, then I border them with a fluffy yarn like chenille or whatever. It covers up any bumps or slight differences in yarn gauge. The other thing I make is monster mitts/socks. They don't match, they are just any yarns of the same fiber & gauge. For mitts I make them with the thumb out the side rather than for a specific hand. That way they go in the mitten basket by the door and anyone that needs mitts for anything can grab two that fit and head out the door, keeping them. All the tiny scraps get saved in a bag and I give those to the preschool that our granddaughter attends. They use it for craft & sensory projects. They usually get a box or two a year of whatever I'm not using, or know I probably won't use. Side note: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that you did a stash dive for YP Friday! Please do that again. I have so much stash that I probably never have to buy again in my life. Of course I will, but I really want to use what I already have. Take care & have a great weekend 🥰
I love your bucket yarns! I used some of my scrap yarns to mak a scrap granny rectangle blanket. My problem is I like to make wearables but my stash is one ball of this or 2 balls of that. I never have enough of one color but that a minor problem in the end. Keep showing us your yarn. 💕in Ohio
I regularly dive in my stash but I also buy a lot of new too 🤭 Plus with the happy mail gifts as well I totally get the overflow thing! My scraps are in a bin and I’m using them at the moment to crochet pairs of hearts for charity. I’m currently working on a c2c for boggy creek but I’m off to a friends for Chinese takeout and board games now 😊 have a fabulous weekend ❤
I love watching even going through yarn. Inspiration comes in many forms. I did watch someone that started a yarn series about differences between different types based on how they’re made.
I make scrap cakes out of small pieces . I very rarely by the new yarns , wish I could . I watch for them to go on a super sale , then maybe 😚. Please do a bucket video on Fridays now !❤
This was quite enjoyable! Thanks for a great Friday chill out time and then Saturday coffee time! I was so close to going to the Shenandoah Fiber Festival. First I asked my son if he wanted to go and he said no, he already had plans. Then I asked my daughter who lives in Petersburg and she had plans. Finally I asked my youngest if she wanted to go and she said, 'we can't we have plans'. This confused me, as she will usually give a name as to who the other part of 'we' is! It's a theater weekend for us, we're going to see Beetlejuice. That daughter buys a season pass to the local theater for me as my presents for the year. Jennifer, the yarn whose colorway is Tulip is a dream! When you showcased that last year, I mentioned to my son that I loved it because it reminded me of my parents. Guess what my son got me for Christmas 2023?! I'm currently making a sweater with it and it's so incredibly soft and drapes so very nicely. Happy stitching Jennifer of Cinnamon Stitches, all Cinnamon Buns, and all followers of Jennifer's Jovial Junkies! (I have always loved alliteration)
I have a bag of "leftover yarn" Here recently I made a scrappy granny square that kinda looks like the blanket from the tv show Roseanne. The take the strings that aren't long enough for the "leftover yarn" bag get tied together and balled up, that eventually will become a scrappy amigurumi.
I like to make blankets with my scraps. I start making a ball and just keep adding my scraps as I get them. Once I get the ball big enough, I start making a blanket. When I get to the end of the ball, I tie it to the next ball. I like to use the invisible knot when I tie my yarn together.
Morning, Glory! Yes, yes, yes I totally enjoyed todays video. I love watching you sort through your scrap bin and YES Id love to watch you take white fluff, dying it then finishing the project of making it into yarn! You say you struggle to figure out what to make from certain yarns, but you do manage to come up with great projects! Im excited to see what your brain comes up with! Happy Weekend!❤❤
Thank you for your continued support for the Premier Yarns Brand! We sincerely appreciate it! Have a wonderful Holiday weekend. Take care of your arm!
New segment on Cinnamon Stitches Stash Dive Day! 🧶
I use my medium size scrap balls to make small grannies for donation baby blankets. They always come out so much cuter than I expect!
I used to just buy the yarn for the project and only had one thing on the go. Then I joined a sit and craft club and the rest is history. Then I got into RUclips and now I have so many many more hobbies 😂😂😂
A good idea for reminding yourself of what you was going to do with yarn, get a small sticky note & write what you are going to do & wrap it around a string on the item & stick it to itself.

I believe we need a neon teal to complete our 80’s look. 😂
And yes to purple as well.
Good morning sunshine. I am up to 2 buckets of scrap balls. The plan is to make scrap magic cakes and then run several of them together to make either a scrappy bag or basket.
Good morning
I have eczema too maybe i crochet cotton wash cloths for me
I have totes full of yarn i forgot about. You got me thinking about that gorgeous forest green tweed cowl neck sweater i wanted to make last year . I know where that yarn is ❤
Cake machine!!! Best coinage ever! From now on, I am going to call my ball winder a Cake Machine. 🤣🤣🤣 🎂 ❤
I enjoyed this video of you going through a bucket of yarn and chatting. Have a nice weekend. 🧶💜🙏🏻
Hi Jen, I hope you have a blessed weekend ❤❤❤
I have been buying cotton yarn a lot lately.
I am also making a queen size granny stitch blanket with scrap yarn

Hey Jen! I have a suggestion for all the yarn you don't want or scraps you could give to JuJu because wasn't she wanting to learn how to crochet?
Hi Jen, I just made a C to C scrap afghan with my leftover yarn. With the smaller scraps I make granny squares. With the granny squares I go from one round to 4-5 rounds depending on how much is there.

We are headed to DFW fiber fest sept 20th so excited to get to go!!!!!
So glad to see you get inspired by the yarn you already have! It was fun to watch you feel the same way I do about a basket full of yarn I’m saving. I do use a lot of leftovers to make Scrapghans for retirement homes 😊
Ophelia Talks gave me the best inspiration for the larger scraps and you make squares and then jeep them in a box / decorate the box. And at the end of the year or when it is full you make a blanket
Great question, Jen! Can't wait to see everyone's answers. Firstly, I try to use all the yarn on a project, also.

I’ve got 2 buckets of scrap yarn, just finished a log cabin granny square afghan with leftover yarns from another project, you are right about going through your stash and see what you already have, have a great weekend😊
Have a great shopping tree to dollar tree. Enjoy your weekend.
Hello hope you had a good day. I love that tulip color yarn, it is gorgeous. Also I love your shirt. I do have a clear bucket with a lid I keep my scrapes in. A lot from a granny square blanket I’m making.
Scrap ideas: Coasters. Pillows. Slippers. Plant Hangers.
Ooo I can't wait for the 'making yarn' series of videos, I need to learn!!! You are awesome. I love your channel ❤❤❤❤❤

Bye🍁🎃❤️
I left Facebook wish I was on it so could join your group Jennifer 🥰
Idea for the cakes. 1) Divide and separate them with a "main color". 2) Use a stitch that drops down over the previous row. That will break up the hard color change. 🥰
Thanks for the video and being real. Enjoyed listening and seeing the yarn. Yes I got sucked into the new yarns this season. Oh well. They are fun to look at. Have a great holiday weekend.
I never used my Caron cakes either. Luke's blanket is becoming beautiful Boggy Creek blankets. Thank you very much
I choked at what you called the yarn cozy, so glad I didn't have coffee in my mouth, it wouldn't have stayed in 😂
Jen, when I have little leftovers, I save them and I do 2 things. Some I save for the first round or 2 of a granny square. And some of the larger leftovers I will join the misc yarns together and have a larger scrap ball. Its actually pretty cool to make up your own skein of yarn
You are fiber artist Jennifer 💜 so talented and creative
I'm making a chevron style scrap blanket with all my leftover yarns. It's queen sized and heavy. 😊
Have a great day! ❤
Hi Jen, love chatting about whats in the yarn basket, thank you. I love looking at yarns I have to see what might spark some ideas😊 I keep a dk and 4-weight yarn scrap box. When it gets a little full, I will pair it with a light or dark shade and make a blanket, I saw this on Jayda’s channel and it works really well. Usually then I will donate those.

Hi, that basket holds a lot. So many pretty yarns, can’t wait to see what you make. I have a tote that I put scraps in. Started using them to make Boggy Creek blankets and afghans for our use. Haven’t made them yet but could make Tumbleweeds for Boggy Creek. Pompoms the kids wear around their neck on a string. Enjoy the weekend! 🧶🫂
💚all yarn in bucket so beautiful
Any yarn is great for Friday’s yarn porn. I hope you’re able to rest your arms and relax this weekend. Take care.
wonderful video thank you Jennifer,Enjoy the weekend! 😘❤
I do mostly
Lapghans, afghans, baby afghans, and shawls. Usually granny, rectangle granny, shells and v stitch.
With that little ball of pink yarn you may be able to make a chapstick holder. Working on a bag with yarn I already had. Did order new yarn last weekend for a baby blanket.
I just returned to my "waiting for the doctor" lap blanket. Made it in c2c out of Caron Jumbo in the colorway Zinnias. Pretty much one whole skein. Now I'm adding a border in I Love This Yarn Metallic in white. Then I'm going to incorporate pony beads into the edging. Gonna be lovely!
Should have waited until the end, because I'm making that c2c with holes in it! It's so fun! And way easy if you already know c2c 😊
Oh forgot to say I'm making a tote bag for the lap blanket with the openwork c2c.
Jen, I use the bits of yarn if not too small in making granny squares. As long as the yarn type and weight are the same I just tie on the yarn to the next piece and keep making my granny.

I save and make a scrap cakes and making blankets or save to use for stuffing the small ones. I can't wait to see that yarn from start to finish
I made a sweater out of the lighter blue Big Twist Prism yarn and ❤️❤️❤️ it.
Yay next week!
I can't wait to see what you do with the Halo and Latte Cakes....I have a bunch of if....tired of doing hats and scarves with it...looking for new ideas 😊
I personally love the jean yarn from Lion Brand. It made a great afghan and I think the stitch was the Lucas stitch. Have a great weekend, Jenn.😊
Its so soft
I make scrappy projects, I like making c2c blankets. Or granny square blankets.
So sorry about your yarn💙
I believe you made that beautiful blueberry beret with the jeans yarn!
Yes, I do have a tote or two of leftover yarn. I use it to make granny squares when I can't settle on a project. When I have enough granny squares, I donate them.
Hi Jen . Nice to see you have your crojo back. I just finished the Luke’s blanket and I want something small to work on now. ( my hands hurt 😔 ). I can’t sit without something to do. You have a great weekend. Stay safe. 💜
I may of been that festival before when use go fiber yarn shows and festival
I have a tote for each type of yarn when it's dull I make scrappy blankets for my dog or grandkids
The Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival is great. You will enjoy it. I have gone the last couple of years, even in the pouring rain last year. Going again this year and already planning my shopping list. I am trying to resist buying yarn and fiber until then but I doubt I will be able to control myself for a whole month.😊
I have made blankets with my scrap balls in the granny stripes I just tie the new yarn
❤❤❤❤I make scrap yarn cakes, which become corner to corner blankets.....so pretty....😊😊😊
I make scrappy blankets. Like granny squares.
I make a basket to stand in my corner to store thing in 💕
Good afternoon Jennifer I don't have fomo? Because I am cheap so I see beautiful yarn but I don't like to spend money 😂😂! I enjoy watching you open all the beautiful new yarn! I'm in the middle of making your Luck's blanket in the Big Twist Prism in the colorway Pink Rhodoninte!I think it is looking beautiful! I just made a clothes granny hectagon cardigan with my leftovers for my great-niece who's 1 1/2 years old I think it looks really adorable! I roll my leftovers into a magic ball and make a blanket or a shawl or some kind of project out of them .😊
Hi Jenn, I've done the regular scrappy blankets that are ongoing, but sometimes I have scraps that are too nice to toss, and different enough that they won't go well into the scrappy blankets or that I feel are too nice to go into my scrappy blankets. But using them in a stripy sweater is great. I just pick a neutral or coordinating color to break up the scrappy stripes and go for it. I'm not a fan of stripes over the whole body, so often I just do the yoke or sleeves, etc in stripes. This way it can be different colors, novelty yarns, or whatever. I just put them together to make the right gauge.
The other thing I've been doing is putting all the bits of sock yarn together and knitting tubes on my sock machine. Then when I have enough tubes, I'll stitch them together to make a double layer blanket. I've done this on my Addi machine with thicker yarn as well. It makes amazing blankets. If the edges are irregular at all, then I border them with a fluffy yarn like chenille or whatever. It covers up any bumps or slight differences in yarn gauge.
The other thing I make is monster mitts/socks. They don't match, they are just any yarns of the same fiber & gauge. For mitts I make them with the thumb out the side rather than for a specific hand. That way they go in the mitten basket by the door and anyone that needs mitts for anything can grab two that fit and head out the door, keeping them.
All the tiny scraps get saved in a bag and I give those to the preschool that our granddaughter attends. They use it for craft & sensory projects. They usually get a box or two a year of whatever I'm not using, or know I probably won't use.
Side note: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that you did a stash dive for YP Friday! Please do that again. I have so much stash that I probably never have to buy again in my life. Of course I will, but I really want to use what I already have.
Take care & have a great weekend 🥰
I use all my leftovers to make granny squares and then turn them into blankets when I have enough.
I make scrap blankets😊
I love your bucket yarns! I used some of my scrap yarns to mak a scrap granny rectangle blanket. My problem is I like to make wearables but my stash is one ball of this or 2 balls of that. I never have enough of one color but that a minor problem in the end. Keep showing us your yarn. 💕in Ohio
❤Good Morning Beautiful! ❤Hope you have a Safe and Happy weekend. Hope you also get to feeling much better also.
Good morning!
I regularly dive in my stash but I also buy a lot of new too 🤭 Plus with the happy mail gifts as well I totally get the overflow thing! My scraps are in a bin and I’m using them at the moment to crochet pairs of hearts for charity. I’m currently working on a c2c for boggy creek but I’m off to a friends for Chinese takeout and board games now 😊 have a fabulous weekend ❤
Have a great time!!
I think it was hooked by Robin that came out with that blanket
You could make mini 🌺 to applicate to jeans and tee shirts just store in clear jar as you go for later 😊
I love watching even going through yarn. Inspiration comes in many forms. I did watch someone that started a yarn series about differences between different types based on how they’re made.
I make scrap cakes out of small pieces . I very rarely by the new yarns , wish I could . I watch for them to go on a super sale , then maybe 😚. Please do a bucket video on Fridays now !❤
Good morning Ms. Jennifer. Having a cup of coffee and enjoying you being you.
This was quite enjoyable! Thanks for a great Friday chill out time and then Saturday coffee time! I was so close to going to the Shenandoah Fiber Festival. First I asked my son if he wanted to go and he said no, he already had plans. Then I asked my daughter who lives in Petersburg and she had plans. Finally I asked my youngest if she wanted to go and she said, 'we can't we have plans'. This confused me, as she will usually give a name as to who the other part of 'we' is! It's a theater weekend for us, we're going to see Beetlejuice. That daughter buys a season pass to the local theater for me as my presents for the year.
Jennifer, the yarn whose colorway is Tulip is a dream! When you showcased that last year, I mentioned to my son that I loved it because it reminded me of my parents. Guess what my son got me for Christmas 2023?! I'm currently making a sweater with it and it's so incredibly soft and drapes so very nicely. Happy stitching Jennifer of Cinnamon Stitches, all Cinnamon Buns, and all followers of Jennifer's Jovial Junkies! (I have always loved alliteration)
I love that type of yarn for wash cloths and dish cloths. Hard to find though.
I have a bag of scraps and I am thinking of tumbleweeds for Boggy Creek
I have a bag of "leftover yarn" Here recently I made a scrappy granny square that kinda looks like the blanket from the tv show Roseanne. The take the strings that aren't long enough for the "leftover yarn" bag get tied together and balled up, that eventually will become a scrappy amigurumi.
I use my scraps to make Blanket of
Many Colors for Camp Boggy Creek!!
Also some people call the Scraptaskic blankets😊
I like to make blankets with my scraps. I start making a ball and just keep adding my scraps as I get them. Once I get the ball big enough, I start making a blanket. When I get to the end of the ball, I tie it to the next ball. I like to use the invisible knot when I tie my yarn together.
Good morning sweetie ☕️🤣🧶
Good morning!
Morning, Glory! Yes, yes, yes I totally enjoyed todays video. I love watching you sort through your scrap bin and YES Id love to watch you take white fluff, dying it then finishing the project of making it into yarn! You say you struggle to figure out what to make from certain yarns, but you do manage to come up with great projects! Im excited to see what your brain comes up with!
Happy Weekend!❤❤
Boonse farm wine.😂 Don't even remember how to spell it but i remember drinking it in the 60's. 😂
Good morning Jenn I once read somewhere can cut the tiny scraps for birds in spring to build nest I throw them on lawn 😊
