    I saved scraps of yarn at least 18"-20" long and longer. These scraps would usually be thrown away. However I just kept saving them and also some larger scraps and just knotted them together into a "magic ball" and made a rectangular afghan. When I thought it was large enough I found a started hank of soft white and crocheted a scalloped edge all around. It really came out nice and I had donated it.

    Mamarose - you scrap-ghan is beautiful. I'm sure whoever received it was most appreciative. I am almost done with my second "ugly blanket." This one is for my son. He requested scraps of blue and yellow so it's not too bad. Because I started with darker varieties and worked toward lighter shades, it just looks like half of it got sun bleached or something! lol
