Using it Up

Over the last several months I've made a lot of knit hats.  I think for each of them I've had leftovers when I finished.  I'm willing to bet that no matter what your craft of choice is, you've got boxes, or bags, or shelves full of scraps you can't bare to part with. Today I gathered a bunch of leftover Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky and started making a new felted bag.  I'm taking a color and knitting until it runs out and starting another.  No rhyme or reason.  I'm not even starting the new yarn in the same spot every time on the bag.  I'm trying not to plan ahead too much.  Free form.  Willy Nilly.  Knitting by the seat of my pants!  Pictures of my progress are coming tomorrow...........
