Remember the “use what you have” theme we started this year?

We have an abundance of yarn we’ve been trying to use for various projects.

The first was a scarf for me. I’ve needed one for years but just never wanted to spend the money to buy one so I got to work and ended up with this:

I’m so happy with the result. It’s been warm and looks great with the new-to-me leather jacket I found during last month’s thrift store visit!

I did have to buy more yarn for this project:

It’s an afghan for Courtney’s hope chest. It’s VERY warm and it’s going to be beautiful. Ooohhhh….I’m thrilled to see it getting done!

This one IS from our yarn stash:

I’ve made hundreds of granny squares. I’m crocheting a gray border on each one and stitching them together. I have enough to make our family an afghan and one for each of my older children for their hope chests.

It always seems like the more I get done the more I see that needs to be done or that I just want to do! Does this happen to anyone else??
Have you been working on projects for your home??
