Yarn Projects

I’m not a very good knitter. I can’t follow a pattern and I am still working on my three-year-old’s baby blanket! So now I’m planning to turn it into a stuffed animal. I’ve decided to knit some small projects and use up my yarn in other ways. I’ll be posting some projects in the next few weeks.

Here is some trim that I made for a jumper. Just a few rows of knitting. I tacked it to the underside of the dress and then sewed it on so it would be secure and stay flat. I think I can wash this on delicate, but no dryer. I made this extra long, so I had to sew it with a wide and dense zig-zag stitch, and then I cut it. I was a little nervous about sewing the knitted yarn, but it worked really well. I am thinking of making a hair ribbon or headband with the rest.

And here’s a jar that I wrapped with yarn. This was super fast and easy. I just used a glue gun to secure the beginning and the end on the back side. Would look great for vases of flowers or flower pots and I think it would be nice in multiples.
