The Six Balls of Cento

My knitting goal for 2010 is to not add anything to my stash. That does NOT mean that I'm not going to buy any yarn! It means that any yarn I buy or use, I must use up completely. I must add NOTHING to my stash bins this year. In that spirit, I present you with...

The Six Balls of Cento (With my deepest and most sincere apologies to Frederic Austin...)

With the first ball and a quarter of Cento, I knit myself for me...
The Knit Picks Sideways Hat!



With half of the second ball of Cento, I knit myself for me...
a wristwarmer that is now a pencilholder cover
and the Knit Picks Sideways Hat!



With the third ball of Cento, I knit myself for me...
The knitty Edgar Scarf (first half!)
a wristwarmer that is now a pencilholder cover
and the Knit Picks Sideways Hat!



With the fourth ball and a couple yards of Cento, I knit myself for me...
The knitty Edgar Scarf (second half!)
The knitty Edgar Scarf (first half!)
a wristwarmer that is now a pencilholder cover
and the Knit Picks Sideways Hat!



With the fifth ball of Cento, I knit myself for me..
THE TWO-ONE COWL!
The knitty Edgar Scarf (second half!)
The knitty Edgar Scarf (first half!)
a wristwarmer that is now a pencilholder cover
and the Knit Picks Sideways Hat!





With three-quarters of the sixth ball of Cento, I knit myself for me...
a pair of Earthy Wristwarmers
THE TWO-ONE COWL!!
The knitty Edgar Scarf (second half!)
The knitty Edgar Scaraf (first half!)
a wristwarmer that is now a pencilholder cover
and the Knit Picks Sideways Hat!



With about a quarter of the sixth ball of Cento, I knit myself for me...
a condom for my digital camera
a pair of Earthy Wristwarmers
THE TWO-ONE COWL!!
The knitty Edgar Scarf (second half!)
The knitty Edgar Scarf (first half!)
a wristwarmer that is now a pencilholder cover
and the Knit Picks Sideways Hat!



and this is what I have left (14.5 yards - I measured it). I think I should burn it before it starts multiplying again! Unless...anyone know what I could do with 14 yards of Cento???



My photographer's assistant says, "Are we done with this yet? I want lunch and a bellyrub!"



More later...recovering from Cento overload (I really do love this yarn, but I swear it breeds in knitting bag!)...

  3. I love how resourceful you are! With the 14 yards left, make an i-cord wrist strap for your camera condom :-)

  5. Here's an excellent use for leftover bits of yarn: http://anotherlongyarn.zinalee.net/?p=1638 -- then make your fabric into a bag or a pillow or whatever takes your fancy!
