Digging around my yarn room | PassioKnit Vlog

[@sophie1301]

Video idea: you get all your cotton partial skeins together and you do a two part video series of “how many bucket hats/bandanas can I make using my yarn scraps” and just use up as many partials that can be incorporated into larger projects.”

[@sophie1301]

All your smaller scraps that’s too much to cut up but not enough to make a big impact on a project… make a “rainbow stripe” bucket hat. You can get a bunch of colors that compliment each other, all pastels for example, and stripe them into a rainbow hat. A lot of work weaving in the ends, but they’d be used up and in a pretty cute hat.

[@leighsirmans428]

I was thinking a scrappy bucket hat for some of the smaller partials too

[@jessgotcats]

How many scrappy octopus! 🐙

[@sandraringo3608]

Wind them up into a cake n make the start of a scrap afghan

[@juliaashley7692]

i was also thinking scrappy bucket hats!

[@liminal_sock]

You should definitely do a "using up my scraps" series!

[@camillereadss]

seconding this!

[@Black_Unicorns]

Yes please! This would be so nice 😍

[@JoDeeKenney]

EXACTLY what I was going to say !! :-)

[@ameliamargaurite3150]

This! Its so satisfying to watch, while I ignore my own scraps pile 😂

[@nicoletabotnariu6493]

Yesss❤

[@nicolettejenkins6784]

I would be HERE FOR a "remaking my old designs" series where you reimagine the old tops and improve on them.

[@mdautz8766]

early works can be a great source of inspiration :)

[@HodgePodgeCrochet]

I'm down for a 'how many things can I make with ONLY scrap yarn' challenge! Also, check your local library and senior center for donating yarns. They'll usually take them!

[@knittinggargoyle]

a 41 minute video? we have been blessed 🥰

[@amwuclarity]

Exactly my tought 🤣 i got so excited hahaha

[@_Maressa_]

Let's make a petition so the vlogs are at least 40 minutes long. If she doesn't comply, she'll have to give up the 5.5mm hooks 🤭

[@sydneylollis5581]

I came to say the same thing 😅❤

[@Mynameis_lizzy]

@@_Maressa_I like that! Edit: but maybe not all of them tho bc sometimes it can be hard to do that but more of them I understand 😊

[@SatiricalSarah]

Ikr? As a crafter, the longer the video the better!

[@sushimew]

The pink granny squares would be a great tote and the leftovers would be sooo cute as those crossbody bags!!

[@TheGoosebumpsGirl]

For the tops that were returned, I think you could advertise them as returns and sell them at a discounted rate if you don’t want to frog them. I’m sure someone would be interested in them if given the opportunity, and you still get some money for the work you put in. Just a thought

[@thecatlimitdoesnotexist]

This is what I was thinking. Selling at a reduced price and just letting the customer know it was a return/exchange and let them decide if that’s something they are comfortable with. I mean it’s basically the same concept purchasing a thrifted item. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kaitlinannwright24]

Honestly, I'm so impressed at how well you recognize what color name the yarn is just by looking.

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

lol! Thank you

[@daniellerodgers6493]

A scrap yarn market bag would probably be cute 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😊

[@PaigeFrances97]

That brown, with cornflower would make a BEAUTIFUL bucket hat

[@druzybear]

YES ONE OF MY FAV COLOR COMBINATION!!

[@flowerbottom1974]

An idea for you! You can donate the yarn you don't want too. I have found a lot of great yarn at thrift stores and it will be found and loved.

[@mdautz8766]

You could donate it when you're out posting your orders so you don't have to go out only for that.

[@laurenalise3488]

I agree! When I come across yarn at the thrift store I’m always at least checking it out. At least at my local one they usually group the yarn together and sell it as like a grab bag. There may also be a second hand craft place to bring it to as well, but at least at the thrift store you could donate leftover yarn, as well as any already made items.

[@melinaalba63]

She could also donate the tops!

[@jacqweee]

“you see the vision” is my favorite craft phrase like it just hits right

[@marcieauvil1770]

I think a bucket hat made with all the scraps would be fun. Just use one scrap until it ends and then add on another one. It will be random, fun and satisfying because you're eliminating all the scraps!

[@lauraseale8520]

And can call it an eco bucket hat

[@janetdriggers5786]

That's what I was trying to say... b/c those turn out very interesting 🤔

[@oldmomma56]

Take the smaller bits with some black cotton, put them together in a scrap rug or doggy mat to put on the couch for doggy to lie on!! It will even be machine washable!

[@siennaravenblood4884]

🎵This is beginning to look a lot like a new 'how many granny stitch bucket hats in a day video'🎵 and I love it!

[@bec7704]

i know my Oma's senior living home has yarn for them to play with! even if they don't knit or crochet anymore, they still find joy in yarn

[@lesliebowles3649]

You’ve come a LONG way, baby! All the not so good stuff lead to where you are now. So not a waste.

[@christinemcsunshine]

A scrap market bag with all of those scrap colors a little bit of this and some of that would be amazing 😊

[@CrochetByHazelJ]

You should make a scrap yarn cardigan! You just use all the random colors and tie the knots on the outside, leaving the tails hanging out; I know it sounds funky but they look really cool!

[@the_Sarahnator]

I'm crying laughing at the (first) knit beanie. Thanks for that. 😂

[@traciperdue]

I see all kinds of potential with your first bin, all kinds of bandannas and stripes. That can be a goal finish one whole bucket. With the squares, I’d make a bag or bags. Hope you’re having a good evening.❤

[@NikkiDoesStufff]

If there are small bits of skeins that you genuinely think you won’t use, you could always do a giveaway/raffle of a few little goodie bags with a few mixed bits in each bag and send them off to your followers and see what they can make with it and post it and tag you. People could even vote on who best used the sCRAP (as I call it lol) you sent them. Or sending it away alone could at least be a way to engage followers while also clearing up space in your room. Honestly you can obvi do what you want but it was just an idea I wanted to share!

[@christinefrier7888]

Goodwill for stuff you are not going to use. Pull out a garbage bag and dump guilt-free. Love the two color bucket hat idea for the cotton yarn. Kelsie, you are inspiring myself and others to clear out the clutter.

[@AnaNicole1225]

Me 👉🏻 🎉 💃🏼 🎉 👈🏻 CELEBRATING that I just WATCHED 🤓 4️⃣1️⃣ minutes [and] 0️⃣3️⃣ SECONDS of my favorite #crochet #vlogger #passionknit Kelsie

[@sarahdannhaus8123]

You could make a magic yarn ball out of all the little peaces and crochet Something with it

[@susannemallmann2018]

brown and cornflower blue go together so well in a bandana or a bucket hat!

[@AmbiixROX]

We need a scrappy top/bandana/bucket hat video! For the longer remnants that are "too much" yet "not enough"!

[@riklangley7]

Absolutely would love a “redoing your own designs” video. Especially the off the shoulder ruffle top that would be adorable when done well!!

[@CarolStansfield-f6d]

You can also try your local nursing homes or assisted-living facilities of their crafting areas could well use your scrap yarn little balls. Whatever have you I know for a fact that they do share with the women residence that can crochet and they just maybe they just do a simple granny square, it’s something they can do and it keeps their interest and it makes their days go faster. Love this video love seeing the beginning of your KZbin life. It was great.

[@GraceAgada-tc8iq]

You should bring the returns to a thrift store.❤ love your videos

[@Rosateresa-im4kz]

I agree: a video of using scraps would be interesting. Also, make granny squares. You said that you sell bags easily, and granny squares and bags go together. You have enough yarn there for at least five bags. 😊❤

[@GinaAhrens]

Why not some scrap yarn bucket hats….

[@paulettemoore47]

I enjoyed looking at the projects from your earlier days. It gives me motivation to keep going on a project that I’ve made a mistake. And it’s ok to go back and try again.

[@simonebannan3622]

That was fun! Really enjoyed seeing your old designs and to compare how much you have improved over time! Totally agree with all the comments about doing a vlog/series of using up your scraps!

[@bethanymason8581]

Best thing about my birthday falling on a Wednesday is a get a new passioknit vlog😂😂

[@jordannnk]

Happy birthday girl!! Today is actually my half birthday lol 🎉

[@okypo0222]

happy bday!!

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

Happy birthday!!

[@PersephonesWitch]

And it’s over 40 minutes long!! Happy birthday!

[@PosieJulia]

Happy birthday 🎉

[@geekatrinabrown]

I use every cotton scrap i have and make magic ball dishcloths for myself.

[@fikanera838]

I'm just home from work, & am so tired, but it's very uplifting to see a new (1 minute old) video from you! Even better if it motivates me to deal with my yarn haystack later on! 🥰 Best wishes from Czechia xxx

[@Judith-H7]

I'd love to see a lot of bucket heads. I'm sure the smal color difference is not bothering ❤

[@brat32179]

I gift a lot of scrap yarns to the local knitting group that teaches at the library once a week. I've also sent old needles, hooks, misc accessories. People are super excited to learn and then get to take some yarn and a hook home to keep practicing.

[@haileybeebee97]

If you put a hair tie in the middle of the donut and then sew it up, you’ve got a donut scrunchie!

[@avivagodfrey]

You've got bucket hats on the brain. When will I hear you say "This could make a bandana, right?" XDD

[@leighsirmans428]

I started watching while making lunch and the 3 year old I'm baby sitting has now gotten very invested in your videos because " Her got same colors like you Miss Wee ! " LOL we have been using my yarn and projects to work on counting and colors this summer.😂😂❤❤

[@tracylg13]

Hi Kelsie, yeah a bin video, sweet. You can make multi color market bags with the scraps. Great assortment. Can’t wait to see what you make. 🥰 You could bundle it all up into a big mailer bag and put on your website for sale, Box of stuff from Bin video… $30 bucks.. heck I’m such a dork, I’d buy it. I love finishing projects and balling u scrap yarn. 🤓

[@lesliebowles3649]

Love the bucket hat idea for the leftover yarns.

[@DianEnglish56]

Hi, you could use the cotton scraps for washcloths, face scrubbers, and dishcloths. Multiple-colors would be fun!

[@StephenBeales]

I love organising vids and I love Kelsie Vids. BEST DAY EVER!!!

[@bethhays8510]

Great video! I love the idea of doing a video to use up all your findings! Maybe you could make a scrappy cotton granny square bag or other granny square project. Then it won’t matter if sue lots match up.

[@kristenb1577]

You could do a scrap bucket hat or bandana. Maybe think about reworking your wrap a round top, after all you have way more experience now.

[@Jorjyabebe]

GUYS THE QUENN POSTED! I just saw the comment on that video and I know they are happy to see this video.

[@NikkiDoesStufff]

Ngl this is going to be the best part of my day today. Yay to whoever suggested this.

[@knittingnana2939]

I believe that you can donate yarn to senior centers. You might check in your area for that.

[@andthentherewas5932]

With all those that have different dye lots and small amounts, you can make a scrappy market bag

[@PrincessMar15]

i had a very bad day until kelsie posted another passioKnit vlog💕

[@Lauren_P_]

Scrap bags or tops would be really cute. You could sell the returns on your site for cheaper with a disclaimer that they were returns. I’ve bought clothes that way and was very happy with my purchase.

[@daniellemcallister]

For all your little cotton bits you could mystery bandanas.

[@AsmitasCreations_27]

Hello dear viewer from India I am watching your video like your yarn collection dear....we are not getting the yarn like your side...stay healthy and passionate

[@janetdriggers5786]

Kelsie how about tieing all the scraps together and make a hat/bandana/ maket bag ...

[@sharamckinney575]

Scrap projects are my favourite! When I was seeing the brown & yellow cotton, I kept visualizing a bucket hat with a sunflower on top! Thanks for sharing your hidden stash with us……it’s always fun seeing another person’s yarn stash!

[@WhatJacKnots]

"When you catch the smallest fish in the group" took. Me. Out. 😂😂😂

[@roserenik6375]

Love this video, we all have stuff hidden in drawers or bins or bags. Make scrap tops ir bucket hats out if the cotton, and use the granny squares for a purse or two and a cross body bag. ❤

[@Bellllllz]

As someone who is a big fan of you and your work, it's really cool and inspiring to see your old tops 💜

[@berniehines9313]

You could weigh all of the Lily’s and then you can tell if you have enough to make whatever.

[@BunteWerkstatt]

It is so satisfying to see what is in your boxes and the way you show and explain them is just perfect! Thanks and again greetings from Bavaria, Germany ❤

[@GaylaKolb]

Makes me smile to see your first attempts. You have come along ways!!!

[@MummaCat]

You can make a scrappy market bag and the bigger ones bandanas

[@cmkaminski]

The yarn you don’t want and those hooks you don’t use can be donated. I’ve donated it to senior centers.

[@jasminerivera9883]

Looooooved seeing where you started from. And seeing your old projects. Gives me so much motivation 🫶 also. I’m sure you could sell those returns. Even even you break even with yarn costs!

[@pamhillabolt8179]

Good to see you today. I love the box with projects from your beginning. That is A box to keep. Keep Smiling.

[@sylviawitcheecomrie37]

I love the black halter and pink top that laces up the front. I would 100% buy the patterns for them. I'm crocheting 2 colour market bags also, they look pretty. Thank you for another brilliant vlog

[@mqrino2601]

My wife loves ur videos soo much that she whants 3 new videos a day!!!

[@jocelynfullmer2472]

I loved all of this! I’m a sucker for decluttering/organizing videos and I wish I could come help you finish up the last of it 🥰 it was also sooo reassuring to see all the progress projects!

[@melinaalba63]

You could totally donate the tops that were send back to you!

[@melodyyippmen1210]

You can definitely use some of those scraps for Bandana borders and straps.

[@jocelynnewell2024]

You could donate to your local women's shelter. Im sure they could use old hooks and yarn (:

[@noslenirb]

I think you could donate the old tops rather than frog or throw away! I can definitely see someone being happy to find those at the thrift!

[@Moonlight-n6c]

Ohh a long video ❤❤❤. Your vlogs are so interesting for me and fun because I also like to crochet and I'm currently crocheting a jellyfish 😅❤❤

[@rasenlp4809]

I visited my Grandma today and she recently learned that I got back into crochet and therefore she gave me her whole stash of wool she still had there are so many random tiny yarn balls and also unused skeins and I honestly love it it feels like each piece of wool I pull out of the bag tells a story

[@KoalaCrochetKnit]

You are the best creater ever!!!!! Ps I love your how many in a day vídeo and all the others!!!!

[@idkwuzgoinon]

scrappy bucket hats! with lots of color changes and variation

[@CindySimspr]

you can use the granny square to make a pillow cover or something for your home.

[@ShadowRayne16]

I def would have just posted a FB marketplace post with a random lot of yarn and get rid of some of those lol

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

That’s a good idea!

[@skeeterwhitley9191]

i vote to redesign the black top with the lace up sides!!!!

[@pbelle1971]

So fun, you reminiscing with us!! Loved it! ❤

[@lesliebowles3649]

Ohh ohh! That is an open top beanie! For when it’s not too cold. 😂

[@ariannabeckham8582]

So cool to see your ideas and humble beginnings

[@meirabroderick5646]

Making a hexicardigan out of all scraps would look so cool!

[@cmazzamo]

I donated mine to a daycare they used for craft projects

[@britts.cuppycakes]

I'm out sick today but I get to sit on my couch and knit/crochet and watch the new video so I feel a little better!

[@debrahodges4822]

We all have those bins and old projects we ignore. Thanks for sharing your adventures in creation. 😊🧶😊

[@JerilynM]

The amount of hope you have given me! Even you went through the "what was this supposed to be?" stage.

[@ElaEllx3]

Yeeeeey! It's 6pm in Germany and on your usual upload days I'm waiting all day for your newest video ❤️

[@Becckababy]

I’ve been using my scraps for bucket hats. They turn out pretty fun with the variety of colors.

[@AvaSimpkins]

I literally love your videos so much!! You were the one who inspired me to start crocheting. Thank you!! ❤

[@robbieoverby1694]

Make scrap bandanas from the smaller pieces. Or, make a multi color bucket hat. Just a suggestion.

[@jessgotcats]

Ahh, yes, mystery bins guts have been revealed! Neat to see some og passioknit items! You're so talented Kelsie!!❤

[@itsmemonamarie]

With those scraps you can totally make a dupe of the “Supreme” Hand Tied crochet beanie!!

[@maureenrandall7433]

U think u should make all the things scrappy .top.hats.etc xx that would be a fun blog

[@eilisa17]

'I dont think I've seen that before' as she pulls out granny squares she's made 😂 love it! Sounds like something I would do

[@cassie2236]

i would make scrap yarn bucket hats! either alternating colors each row for a more neat look, or just alternating whenever you run out of your color for an extra scrappy bucket hat!

[@devonmclelm5703]

You should do a video using all the smallest bits of yarn for projects! Love you videos!
