Stashbusters
I am sure many of you have a lots of odd bits of yarn lying around after finishing your projects, whether your chosen craft is knitting or crochet. There is a wide choice of small stashbusting projects that you can make with your odd bits of yarn, but I really like the idea of making a Frankenyarn. By doing this you can embark on a larger more ambitious project.
There is a great guide on how to make a Frankenyarn ball on the projectarian website, along with a pattern to knit a blanket.
