Left over yarn
HI,
thought you might like to know what I do with all those pesky left over bits of yarn
Well, I save them up, and then when I get bored, I gather them all together, and knit them into squares. I do this using UK size 3 1/4mm needles, and cast on 3 stitches, then, every row, K1 inc 1 at the start of the row. When you have a triangle on the needles 1/2 the size of the square you want, K1 k2 tog at the start of every row, until you have 3 sts left, cast off.
THEN when I have a load of multi coloured squares, I sew them together et Voila, one doggie blankie!
They can be for my dog, OR a lot of the animal shelters like to have them for their residents. Useful, VERY useful.

Re: Left over yarn
Make dolls clothes with them, a nice stripey scarf or wrist warmers cut them up & put them out for the nesting birds.

Knit small squares to add patches to worn jumpers.
Make patch pockets for jumpers.

Re: Left over yarn
Depending on how long the bits are, try some french knitting
