Started the last ball of fingering weight yarn. Hopefully I will be finished with this weight of yarn very soon. Plan on starting to put things together soon. Hopeful that the blanket, shawl will work out and use all these small squares up. If it doesn't I could be in trouble!!

Finished with the fingering weight yarn and have lots of lovely 4" squares to put together.

I have now started with the cotton yarn and am using that up making dishcloths, knit bags to hold plastic shopping bags, and whatever else I can find to use the excess up. Extra dishcloths will be put aside for use when the ones I am using wear out (which seems to be quicker than usual lately), or to use as gifts.

Once those things are accomplished it will be on to making squares out of the worsted weight yarn.

Sewed all those lovely 4" squares together, thus using up more of that light yarn. Just tiny balls left that I will keep for embellishment at some point down the road.

Used up 140 light fabric squares so far this month and have used up 210 denim squares once they are all sewn together. Really this hasn't even made that large a dent in my stash of saved bits and bobs. May just have to make a couple more to use as gifts or to curl up in on those cold winter nights.

I have also used up a few partial bobbins of thread sewing said squares together and two partial spools of thread as well.
