Over the last little while I have used up some more partial balls of yarn on the temperature blanket. While these are helping use up those odds and ends (orphan balls and such) it looks as if I will still have to think of something more to do with all that will still be left over.

Well I have finished youngest's temperature blanket. Just have the ends to weave in and some trimming on the back. I also need to make a chart of the colours used for each temperature. I did not use as much yarn up as I thought I would so all leftovers will be back in circulation for another project down the road. I did however use up most of the white, the royal blue, khaki green (except for a tiny ball of each colour). I guess that is a kind of win.

Working on using up some cross stitch fabric and threads now. This was something I had planned on hopefully finishing this month...No such luck.

I usually do my cross stitch in the afternoons and my knitting in the evenings when it is too dark to see the holes I need to go through while making the crosses. So I have used up another ball of yarn that has been in my stash for years and have almost finished the second. I am making scarves for my next foray into Secret Santa escapades.

Since I last posted here I have used up another 3 balls of yarn and have started on the 4th. I am making Secret Santa Scarves to sneak into some of the seniors buildings next Christmas (and man that is coming fast).
