Used up one of the large balls of yarn on a knitted blanket for DS's friend.

Used up lots of the ready cut knit strips on the rug and will need to cut more today. I hope to cut enough to use up some of the scraps of knit fabric. It will probably fill my strip box, but that is just fine. I would still be clearing out one are of my stash.

Got another two leftover pieces of knit fabric ready to cut into strips. Will work on knitting tonight and get a bit of the second ball of yarn put into the knitted blanket for oldest DS's friend.

I have used up lots of the cut strips and made even more. I have now used up all the black stripped knit, and all the white flowered, and black flowered making strips.

I used up another ball of bulky yarn knitting the blanket for eldest's friend.

Also used up most of a piece of fabric making draught dodgers for the sons, and about half the cotton flannelette cutting out the pajama bottoms for Hubby.

I have used up the third ball of yarn on the blanket for eldest DS's friends blanket and added the fourth. I will be taking this to work on while visiting with DS. After this fourth ball is finished or close to being finished, I am pretty sure I will be able to cast off this project. Means I can spend a bit more time making the quilt blocks and working on the rug.

Used up two pieces of knit fabric from the stash cutting out two patterns. It would have been three, but the pattern I chose to use just did not work on the amount of fabric I had. I will need to see if I can find a different pattern to use it up (I want to make a dress out of this ice grey sweater knit fabric).

So, I have used up another ball of yarn on the bits and bobs knitted blanket as well as the fourth large ball of yarn on DS's gift for his friend.

I cut out one dress, and have the fabric laid out for the next one. I gathered the scraps of the dress I cut out and added them to the knit fabric rug pile to be cut for that project a bit later.

Hopefully tomorrow I will use up more of the 4" squares as I plan on making it a get caught up sewing the quilt for youngest day.
