The story of my life - I had some yarn left from the jacket on the left. I decided to buy some black to go with the leftovers and leave out the cream. This gave me the waistcoat on the right. Now I have the cream, some blue and oddments of the other colours left - any suggestions?

them because easy to take with on the go.

If you have enough how about wrist warmers
to match the vest.

Houseshoes or socks, mittens, or a vest these are small maybe they would not take as much time or yarn?

I like the pattern on your waistcoat. What about a hat?

& a scarf too, oops I see that already, How about a yoyo doll? She has made them out of fabric but I have only seen them from yarn!

Isn't that always the case? Nice waistcoat!
First thing I thought of was a hat too, or a scarf but you might need some new yarn to get a sizable one. No guessing what happens after that :)

Or start crocheting granny squares? That will certainly mean a new colour to tie them all together.

It will probably be a hat. I would have to buy loads more yarn for granny squares (also it is rather thick.)

I think that is an age old questions - what do we do with our pieces, parts of yarn left - I like Martine's idea of granny squares - then you can "build" and afghan. Hats or tam are nice, but I don't wear hats..not cold enought here. Good job, and love the waistcoat.

Beautiful knit work!!! As a fellow knitter I know the not enough or too much yarn left over dilemma!
How many odd balls do you have????? (boy, that is a loaded question, right?)

Wow I wish I could do this kind of work.
I bet there is a little something in the pocket too.

Great jacket and regarding leftover yarn it all seems normal to me, just tuck them away for another time ;-)

Your work is wonderful. How about a scarf - you can just add a little of the yarn - here and there - when you make a new row on a scarf or so I thought - I don't do this sort of hand work.

well the suggestion of a scarf is already given so why not a cap/hat or legwarmers? or a knitted bag?
By the way you did a great job!

You are a great knitter. Love both of them. How do I get the pattern for the wallet that you have designed. Thanks

I would suggest to knit a couple of hats, but I also like asterixsew's suggestion. Hugs, Lidia
