Look how many bits of yarn I've trimmed from the blanket over the past couple of weeks!
I was a couple of months behind (after falling behind with knitting and sewing together the squares this summer) so it took quite a while to catch up. I'm definitely going to be trying to sew in the ends more regularly from now on, as while it's relaxing in small doses this is a job that gets really really boring after a while.
haha, it seems to be enough for a bird to build its nest :-)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Sewing in ends is the ugly side of knitting and crochet. The bit they don't really tell you about in books... I hate it until you get to that last end. The last one I can cope with :)
ReplyDeleteHi !
ReplyDeleteI would like to give you an idea what to do with those loose ends.
Put them in a basket for the birds outside,.. the build their nest with those nice warm ends. The bird association in the Netherlands supports it highly!
Kind regards,
Hedwig from The Netherlands
Claire - oh goodness yes, I think knitters/crocheters who actually *enjoy* things like sewing up and blocking are very lucky!
ReplyDeleteHedwig - that's a fab idea, thanks :)
