Hello, Friends As avid crocheters, what's the one thing we all have in common? Scrap threads and yarns, of course! Little bits of this and that in pretty, bright colors or soft textures-little bits that we just can't bear to throw away and that get saved in hopes that we'll find the perfect pattern in which to use them. We gave our talented team of designers a specific challenge when we asked for projects for this book: Make a great project that will appeal to our readers, and, oh yes, use only bits and pieces of yarn-no more than one skein of a particular color. We think they've done a wonderful job! The projects in this book range from wearables to home decor. Along with fun projects such as place mats and toys, there are more fulfilling projects, such as afghans and a gorgeous collection of Christmas ornaments. Lots of the projects are portable, too, so you can take your crochet with you on your various travels around town. We've also provided designer tips throughout the book, on topics such as working with multiple strands and making tassels. Be sure to look for them! Start sorting through your scraps! We're sure you'll find just the right project to use up your bits and pieces of yarn and thread! Happy stitching! Vicki Blizzard
