My friend, an avid afghan & scarf creator, has more yarn than any one person has a right to own! I feel like I’ve entered yarn heaven every time I look through her stores. She normally makes an afghan or scarf and hoards the leftover ends to make a “scrap afghan or scarf” once she has collected enough ends. These scrap creations always turn out uniquely beautiful even if the name sounds like something you save for the dog! Some of her leftover ends, though, are even too small for incorporating into these projects; that’s where I come in!
My friend gave me a handful of these small yarn balls and here are some little things that I made with them.
Shorty the Snake, Teddy and Legless (the frog)
In return for sharing, I made my friend this cute little Ladybug as these are her favorite, little creatures.
Ladybug
This rarely used mug (with an outdated, unwanted photo) was able to become re-purposed by adding a cozy sweater to hide the unsightly photo! Now it’s a sweet tool holder for me! YAY!
All of the above were created using no patterns (which is probably obvious!) but I feel I’m doing pretty good to end up with a finished product that actually resembles the object I was going for!
This morning was -26 degrees F (or -32 C), so it is still very, very frigid here and only part way through winter. 😦 Boo! I am so ready to be warm again! So I will be back to work on my granny square afghan! Have a great day and happy hooking!

Your amigurumis look really beautiful!!
My favorites are the lady bug with her little spots and the teddy bear with his light brown paunch. Make me want to hug them all 🙂
Thank you! I was barely able to finish the snout on the teddy bear I had so little left of that color.
And I think I just accidently deleted your comment! I’m sorry, I’m still trying to get used to this! 😳
The lady bug spots were cut with my new-to-me Sizzix original. There wasn’t a die for that small of a circle but I had a tag shaped die that had a hole and I used the holes for the spots! 😃. Thank you for the compliment, I’m glad I found your comment and didn’t delete it by accident after all!
