A few weeks ago, I learned to crochet. This has become something rather like an obsession.
I took some big bulky yarn (Katia Peru) that I had left over from another project and basically crocheted them into a bunch of squares, joined them up with double crochet, and voilà, I had a blanket! I'm so ridiculously proud of it!
I have attempted a couple of other crochet projects, without as much success, but in fairness, getting out the Rowan Kidsilk Haze was probably not my brightest idea ever. However, I am using my new skills on an excellent stash busting adventure: a sock yarn blanket!
I have never had much success with making blankets. I get bored. However, I think this is going to work. One square is such a small investment, and it is comparatively so speedy. The main thing is that it can deal with those little tiny bits of yarn that I have knocking about. As well as some of the not so tiny bits of yarn. I hate having yarn leftovers - they stress me out by making my stash look bigger than it is - and it does not need a lot of help with that, honestly!
Already I have been able to mark about four yarns on Ravelry as "all used up", so I think it is already qualifying as a success!
