I tend to modify patterns so that I can use up all the bits and bobs and avoid remnant stash accumulation. The other thing I do is I tend to knit almost exclusively with worsted or DK weight yarns, so the leftovers can be mixed and matched to make little funky projects (like a little multi-coloured Tomten Jacket - you can see that in my finished projects on Ravelry). They're not works of art, but they're fun to do and functional.<br /><br />Lori: I know!
