Ask the Geeky Girls -
Taryn (tmariechickadee) from Oregon asks:
I have a question regarding what to do with left over worsted weight yarn. I am currently working a Bee Keeper’s Quilt, like Damaris, and it has been great to use up left over fingering weight skeins, but I’m at a loss for the small amount of worsted weight that I always seem to have. The amounts that I currently have are enough to that it would be terrible to even think about throwing them away, but not enough to make a stand alone project. Does anyone have any ideas on scrappy projects for worsted weight yarn? I definitely wanting to use every last bit of the beautiful yarn that I have.
