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!

I got a couple great ” free” patterns from Frugal Knitting Haus for easy 2 needle mittens from my order of $10.00. Now I knit my grandchildren mittens in sets of 3 , as they tend to lose a mitten now and then. Using up scraps of yarn and making them in colorful stripes is always a big hit with the children!

Hi Ruth -
I use loops made from short scraps of yarn as stitch markers. (I use a simple overhand knot, called a half hitch to combine both ends to form the loops.) This may not be new to many of your knitters, but newer ones may not know this.
I go one better with these loops. If I am knitting with straight needles, I use different colors for decreases and/or increases in the rows. This way I don’t forget what goes where in a complicated pattern. When knitting on a circular needle, I use a different color for my end/beginning of the round as well. This way I don’t have to rely on my counting or my guess to know where I’m at on my project.
This works great for me and costs me nothing. Just like you, I am FRUGAL too.
