Benefits of Industriousness

Ooh, one of the advantages of creating a blanket in winter is that the quicker you work, the warmer you'll be as you go along.


In other words, I benefit from my own industriousness😊

It is my "mission" not to buy new yarns, but to use discards and leftovers only. I pick up scraps from the transfer station or friends and neighbors' spring-cleaning to keep myself supplied. I like to try and make leftovers attractive, despite being discards. 

It's a challenge, since colors are not available in similar abundance, nor a common ply, and there's no guarantee that the colors will match or blend, but ... this is what makes it interesting to me. I see a problem that I have to work around, and it becomes an opportunity to get creative. It piques my interest and stimulates me.
