I use my snipets for tassles. The different colors and types of yarn always make them pop!! They look great on knitting projects or if your just making a homemade book mark 
I also use them for doll hair.

Thank you Frugal Haus, and cheap knitting for such easy patterns! I knit and crochet alot, mostly for toys for charities . I began saving my yarn snipets from fastening off, end of seams, etc into a big zip bag. When I need stuffing for the toys, I use the yarn snipets to stuff. This makes the toys soft and pliable, and doesn’t add extra cost!

To use up scraps of yarn, especially for children s sweaters I do this. Cast on with a bright color,such as red, work first row with red, then go to white or main color of sweater. Do this for bottom of sweater edge, sleeve edges, and neck edge, having only cast on row and one row of this color. On the white sweater I made I had one cuff edge in red, one in blue, the bottom rib row in green, and top neck bind off in orange. You should have heard the raves, and all the grand kids now want the same sweater! Works for both knit and crochet.

I have 2 cats and a dog and whenever I knit or crochet they have great fun with the yarn balls. Fun for them, but not for me. I now put my yarn in a glass jar, usually twice the size of my ball. That takes the fun out of it for the kitties, but works a lot better for me. In between working on the projects, I stuff the project and the hook or needles into the jar so there isn’t any loose yarn or a half done scarf for them to play with. This simple little trick has saved me a whole lot of aggravation.

To make it easier to sew seams on both knit and crochet garments, use a long double pointed knitting needle to hold sides or seams together. Move needle in and out of fabric upwards as you sew. This eliminates all the safety pins that have to be taken off later.
