Re: the Sakura (SAW-koo-rah) face scrubbies; sakura means cherry blossom in Japanese, hence the classic shape of these scrubbies. Sakura trees are almost an obsession in Japan, and the season of their bloom (late March-early April) is a very popular time of year, as people travel to well known trees and plantings to admire the colors.

I just stumbled across this video as it came on after another one I had been watching. I’m glad it did. I agree with the others that your voice is so calming. You went above and beyond in the replies as well. I tend to use some of my “leftover” stash for trying out 12” squares before committing to an entire afghan. I have almost enough to make one for our bed. So looking forward to that getting done. I’ve also picked up unfinished yarn projects at yard sales, usually free, as the sellers just wanted to get rid of it. It’s fun trying to decipher the patterns. I’m going to go looking for more of your videos! I hope I find a few! The crocodile stitch also helps use up leftover stash. I’ve made 3 backpacks using the stitch and they are all still being used! I have subscribed and hope to see more from you!

So many good things said in this post! First of all, thank you for subscribing. I am so happy to have you here! I love going through and reading and replying to comments. I learn so much!! Afghans are great projects for leftover yarn. From reading comments on this video, I'm not the only one that would agree. That's so awesome you almost have enough for an entire afghan! So much yarn. So when you try out your squares, is this to see if you have enough yarn or to try out new stitch patterns? I'm imagining you make many squares and sew together to make the afghan, is that what you do? I have never thought to find another person's project and try to figure out what they were doing. (I do that with my own projects lol). I can see how that would be fun. Do you take those with the intention of finishing the pattern or just for the yarn? I bet those are neat looking backpacks...and durable! The crocodile stitch looks so fun. Thanks so much for taking your time to share these amazing ideas!

I had 21 skeins of color yarn that I had purchased along 2 years to do mexican embroidery. I used all of them to crochet 200 granny squares, made a white border on all of them, purchased a couple more colours and made a huge blanket almost 1.80 meters long by 1.40meters wide. I arranged the squares according to the shades, violet and pink merging with blues and greens then yellow, orange, red and pink again

It’s great to see some ideas for my scraps from loom knitting, which I just started last month. I’ve found I don’t have enough yarn for knitting projects, but I learned to crochet when I was a kid, and I’m excited to have something to do with the leftover bits, especially since my mom just refound her hooks and doesn’t really want them anymore. The slipper pattern seems like it’d be nice for babies or even dolls, depending on what leftovers you have! I’ve been wanting to make something cute for my cousin who is trying to conceive so that I can send a nice present when she announces a baby is on the way!

I find your comment very interesting because I just crocheted a unicorn lovey (stuffed animal/blanket) for my cousin who has a baby on the way. I was able to use up some of my leftover yarn from previous projects. It felt so good to repurpose old yarn I've had for years into a new item that will be cherished by a loving family.

Great ideas! I've wondered what to do with extras and not waste....
@SewHomey2 жыл бұрын
It just seems so hard to part with the little scraps, but after years of this hobby it becomes out of control...at least for me. It's fun to think outside the box and try to combine colors and patterns to make something you love and will use. I do hope that you were able to gain inspiration and choose a pattern to try out!

@SewHomey2 жыл бұрын
@@lizzyluna2414 That is honestly one of my favorite categories too. It's amazing how you can paint with yarn. When I saw some of the wall hangings as I was researching for this video, I was awestruck how you could make something like that with yarn. Currently, I'm liking the look of macrame wall hangings. I made a crochet version of one that I really liked. I'm hoping to release a video and pattern for it in time for summer. It was really fun to make and it's awesome to decorate your home with pieces that you made and absolutely love! I do hope you try crocheting a wall hanging!!!

Hi thank you for theses suggestions. I am going to have a go at the slippers, but could you advise me on what a worsted weight wool is please, as I haven’t heard or used it before. I am relatively new to crochet. Thank you again. Hx 🇬🇧
@SewHomey11 ай бұрын
Hi!! Thanks for the question! Such a great pattern choice, love the slippers 💛 I'll do my best to explain. Yarn is divided into different weights, and all that means is the thickness of the yarn. For example, "lace weight" refers to a super thin yarn, which you can probably imagine. So "worsted weight" refers to a medium sized yarn. This link helps to explain that in chart form, www.craftyarncouncil.com/standards/yarn-weight-system. I hope that's helpful, but let me know if you have any other questions about it!

Hi, thanks for the question! You can find free patterns all over the place. I like to use Ravelry because you can narrow your search by many different filters. I also find them on blogs. I'm a huge fan of searching for specific patterns on Google or Pinterest. Usually there is a free pattern floating out there. There is also Love Crafts, but I haven't personally used that one as much.
