As a crocheter, I believe we as a community have a problem. It is one that many of us struggle with and can often hide from others. This problem is our left-over yarn stash. I know you have it, I have one too. It is hidden in the back corner of my closet. When I finish a project, I have to keep the left-over yarn and it gets hidden into a stash that continues to grow and never gets used!
My hope is to help you with this small addiction. I hope to help by sharing small and quick crochet projects that you can make with that left-over yarn. Over the next 2 weeks (starting April 15th), I will share a new crochet pattern daily. Each pattern gives you the chance to use up some of your scrap yarn. Not only are you using up scraps, but you are doing it in 60 minutes or less.
