Oh my, I have used up so much of the bits and bobs of yarn and have yet more to use up. Finished the one knitted blanket using worsted weight yarn and have started the second. Used up one ball of leftover yarn and will soon be using up the second. Things are moving right along.

That ball of yarn went quickly and I used up a tiny ball of another yarn. I have added in the light purple yarn now and am about 1/2 done that. Now to hunt through the balls to pick the next colour to use and the colour after that.

So I managed to finish the light purple yarn last night and have now added the black yarn into the equation. I think the next colour will be baby blue followed by a dark shade of pink. Which ever way I go this is going to be a pretty funky blanket.

Next blanket started and I have already used up a smallish ball of leftover yarn. I added the second ball and perhaps am about 1/4 way through. I hope to be almost done it by the end of tonight.

Using up some older embroidery floss as well on the tablecloth.

Slowly but surely getting through at least some of the various stashes I have.

Used up a full ball of yarn on the blanket. I will be adding in another colour today and hopefully get most of that small ball used up. This blanket is taking a bit longer as the yarn even though worsted seems be be a bit thinner.... I also don't know if I have enough of this thickness to actually finish the blanket, but I will give it a darn good try.

I have actually used more leftover yarn than I have posted on this thread. I finished the ball I had added on before we left and started another pretty small ball last night. That one is now finished and I have added another. I am hopeful of getting most of this blanket done by the end of the week. Hoping to finish the quilt top the few days contained in next week.

Too many projects and not enough time.
