What to do with all my unloved projects!

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I started knitting when I was pregnant with DD2. I learned how to knit online and I made 2 newborn longies, 2 newborn hats, 1 sm longie, 2 large longies, a pair of M board shorts, and a sm skirtie. DD2 wore the nb longies maybe twice, DD1 wore the lg longies twice, over tights because she didn't like the feel, and the board shorts and skirtie have never even been worn. I gave the small longies to a friend of mine who had a baby.

I was obsessed with hyenacart and buying yarn left and right when I was working FT. Now that I am home for the most part, I haven't picked up needles in about a year. I'd love to get back into knitting and am wondering what to do with all my beautiful wool that was never worn! I spent so much money on yarn and now I don't have any money to spend. I suppose I should just gift what is complete and finish what needs finishing. What do you think?

If you want to work on something, why not just frog an old project and start something new with the yarn?

yes, I'd rip out the unloved stuff and knit it up into new lovelies!

Yep, frog them. Then go to Ravelry & search for patterns .

No WAY can I frog them! They were all at the beginning of my knitting and I really think they all are beautiful. I see products like these selling for $$ on hyenacart all the time. And they should be - the yarn was so expensive.

I think I'll probably gift them b/c I'm no good at selling anything

but they yarn will still be beautiful (probably even more so!) if you unknit and re-work it into something you'll use and love every day!
