2025 Year in Review and an Announcement

Hello folks, hope 2025 went well for you. For me, 2025 has been an eventful year. I published seven knit or crochet patterns, nine knitting or crochet technique video tutorials, and a few tidbits.

2025 also brought me some endings, loss, grief, celebrations, and not-so-fun health issues.

There’s also been a change in my journey with yarn.

After 55 published patterns, the call of yarn in my life has led me to a new beginning.

Coffee Tea Knits will be returning in January 2026 with new video tutorials and tidbits.

Stay tuned for updates as we explore the world of yarn and needles together.

Thank you to the fiber related crafts community. I am grateful to the subscribers and readers of this blog. Your feedback and encouragement have been invaluable in my journey with yarn.

All the best to you in the New Year!

The Dilemma of Leftover Yarn

Hello folks, I’m in the process of organizing my yarn. I face a dilemma because I do not know what to do with the project leftover yarn. The project leftover yarn has accumulated quite a bit over the years I’ve been knitting or crocheting.

I sometimes have a whole skein or two left over and sometimes just a small amount of yarn left over. With a skein or two of leftover yarn, making a hat, a dishcloth, or other small knitted items is possible. I have made such items in the past. I have also donated leftover skeins of yarn to charity.

The small amount of project leftover yarn puzzles me. I have no idea what to do with these bits of yarn leftover from a knitting or crochet project. Below is a picture of a small sample of the leftover yarn that I have. I probably have about 2 bags full of these bits and pieces of yarn.


Leftover yarn a, b, c, d, and e in the image above are from these knitting and crochet projects:


Is there something I can make out of this that is aesthetically pleasing? It’s hard for me to find the time. I struggle to find the motivation to mix them up to knit or crochet something. I don’t find the prospect of just knitting or crocheting for the sake of making something very appealing.

Do you also have an accumulation of project leftover yarn? Comment below on how you deal with these bits and pieces of project leftover yarn?
