I just had some yarn pieces that I crocheted with and kept adding more yarn pieces so I could crochet. I normally don't have that many ends. I might end up frogging those leaves pictured above. If I'm crocheting a circle I usually use a magic ring because I think it uses less yarn and because I can pull the hole closed tighter. When making the magic circle I found out that I have to make the magic circle close to the end but I have used the chain 4 or 5 for a circle and using the chain to make a circle a person has more of a grip on it. I have a lot of yarn ends from over the years and I have tied some of the pieces together and wound in a ball and I did use some yarn tied together but I eventually cut the knots out of the yarn so I'm not sure what to do with all those yarn ends.
