53: Leftovers and Minis


Listen Later

From visible mending to stashbuster projects, friendship bracelets to bunny nuggest, this week's episode is full of ideas for how to use up the little bits of yarn that survive a project. (Assuming you didn't lose yarn chicken, that is!)

Aunt Bethany & her knitting

* Punch needle
* Colorwork!
