Strong opinion that is...
Scarp Yarn / Stashbusting / Leftover Yarn projects are FUN, colorful and modern.
Watching a few knitting hottakes videos again, and in more than one the "all scrapyarn projects are ugly" (also they are not worth the time and effort, etc) type of statement popped up, with a chorus of agreement in the comment section, and I heartlily disagree with that.
Oh, yes, there are scrapyarn projects I do not like, but I think, that they are not ugly, because they are scrapyarn/stashbusting/etc projects, but because the yarns they combine are not selected properly and/or the selected yarns are not suitable to the selected project.
Like my "boxy" sweater, where I was absolutely satisfied with the yarns and how they went together, but the shape of the sweater was not boxy enough.
However, I adore my circular rainbow sweater, and my neckwarmers prove that it is all in how you select and combine the yarns.
There was a rainbow mood first one, a red and gray one and a purple shaded one, and I have made some from random leftover sockyarns and they are cool.
You can use leftover yarns in so many ways. I am curious, do you use your leftovers? How? Or do you think those scrappy projects are ugly? Do you have any pattern suggestions for leftovers?
