RE: Craft: Scrappy Knitted Throw Blanket
Dear Coreen, I don't use patterns for myself any more, as I know the size and just adapt for different wool thicknesses. For other people I use patterns, but I find them all on the internet, saves buying patterns. I find most colour combinations are good, I make it up as I go. It makes knitting more interesting too.

It is very nice! Inspires me to get going on one too. The next time you make something like this if you will do the first few ( 3-5 or however wide you'd like) stitches of each row in garter stitch or seed stitch you will not have the curling problem. Also do the first and last few rows in whichever stitch you choose to do the sides.

Oh, Coreen, what a beautiful knitted throw! The end result looks like a high dollar designer product. I sew but I don't know how to crochet and can knit somewhat. Have made lots of neck scarfs using stash yarn from my knitter friends. Peace and Blessings and may your healing continue to go well. Joan - Dilley TX

Lovely work you did!
Use some big needles . Double up your yarn and knit mats in solid and multicolor yarns. Also knit up place mats.

Dear Colleen, you have done a lovely job. I have been knitting sweaters for years like this, using up wool that has been left over from other projects. Every winter I have at last one new sweater.

Your throw is lovely! If you want other ideas for using your "stash" of yarn, why not make throws for nursing homes, caps for babies, etc. If you can work with two strands of yarn at the same time, you can make rugs for the animal shelter. Thanks for sharing, and God bless you.
