    Love how you go about this! I don’t have any leftovers yet except a few tiny bits from my not-yet-finished Persian tiles blanket, and from my grandma. I’ve only started crocheting beginning of this year, so making a project bag and/or basket sounds so cool‘

    Hi there, another great video.
    I keep my leftovers and wind them up on my ballwinder, knotting them together as I go. Like yarn with like. When I have enough, I hold it with at least 2 other yarns - one main colour (like white baby yarn) and one contrast - whatever I have. Maybe even 2 scrappy balls at times. And I make the baskets you showed. Also shopping type bags. I think the white baby yarn works like a 'carrier' yarn, supporting the knots, so I don't have to weave in all the ends. These have been very well recieved by friends and family, and admired when I go up the street.
    As for the cotton, I have been making 30cm squares to try out new stitches, both crochet and knit, and using them as wash cloths. This way I can try a new stitch but not get too bored by them if I don't have a big project in mind.
    I am not into socks much, cause I don't wear them myself. But these light yarns can also be used in bags, blankets and more. Never such a thing as 'unuseable' yarn

      Hi! Wow, that's such a great idea, knotting leftovers together and using white yarn as a carrier later. I'll do this for some of my leftovers instead of starting projects I'm not sure I'll finish. Thank you for sharing!

    Hello! Just found your video, so new sub! I guess this is really silly of me but I end up with a lot of single skeins of really colorful sock yarn and I actually crochet them into infinity scarves. About 420 yards is good for me, so I love to wear my sock yarn as a cozy infinity scarf.

      Welcome to the channel! That sounds like a fantastic way to use those sock yarn skeins. Infinity scarves are such a cozy accessory! I use my sock yarn to knit scarfs as well, and hats too.
      Actually I'm going to post a new video about my yarn stash reorganisation, maybe it would be interesting for you :-)
