Thrilled to have found a Lemmy knitting group! I’m a sock obsessive, I just love knitting socks, so I’ve ended up with an staggering amount of “scrap” yarn. The solution - blankets. This is my second Cosiest Memories project and this time I have a Plan. The first one was truly random, with lots of placement errors. When it was finished I did a dark icord edge, and suddenly it was smart!

So for the second one I’m adding an inner border of that same colour and (eventually) will finish with icord. I might even knit some more socks!

This is such a fun idea! I also love knitting socks but thankfully am super slow at it so my collection of leftovers isn’t too bad yet.

Been collecting a list of scrappy patterns for the day it becomes unmanageable though. A nice lap blanket is a great idea, bet it’s really fun to look at these and remember which project each yarn is from :D

That’s the best thing about it, remembering who I knit what pair of socks for.
