Knitted Flower

Head Huggers Knitted Flower

You surely won’t have to estimate the amount of yarn for this cute little knitted flower :)
By the way I have more knitted flowers in my blog.

Additionally you find at Head Huggers many instructions for hats meant for prople who lost their hair due to an illness. She writes there: “My plan is to distribute the caps to hospitals, oncology offices, hospices, etc. so that they can more readily be available to those who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy, etc.”

Yarn Bomb a Chair

I find these yarn bombing things great but would never have known where to start.
The instruction on how to yarn bomb a chair helps :)

Wire and Yarn Mobile

The wire and yarn mobile is surely nice in every season, however I can imagine the letters also very well as gift tags (e.g. for Christmas) or the single elements as numbers for the Advent calendar.

Yarn Scrap Heart

When needleworking you always get these little yarn rests that look so wonderful colourful.
Why not making a cute yarn scrap heart (or also a yarn scrap cat ;-)) from them? :)

Embroidered Bead

Also a very nice idea: simply embroider a piece of stramin and roll to a bead, and you get an embroidered bead :)

Hm, considering this you can also embroider a bigger piece of stramin as a ring or a bracelet and make matching jewelry.

Cooking Wine from Wine Leftovers

Donkey and the Carrot Cooking Wine from Wine Leftovers

In principle I find the idea good to freeze wine leftovers and use them for cooking, but unfortunately I don’t have leftovers if I like the wine ;-)
