the little yarn that could
Sometimes I just have a little bit of yarn, and I have no idea what to do with it. For instance, I was given this gorgeous Manos del Uruguay yarn for my birthday - cotton candy pink and bulky weight. Not enough for a pair of mittens, and too pink for a hat (for ME, anyway). So after a lot of thought i came up with - LONG SKINNY SCARF!
Cast on about a million (give or take fifty-thousand) stitches on a long circular needle and just knit three or four rows - instant cool.
Why didn't I think of this before? Skinny pink scarf, here I come!

sounds fun, & manos is beautiful.
i have heard of a roulette scarf knit this way (in the long dimension). you pick up to six different yarns, and assign them each a number. at the beginning of each row, you roll dice to see which yarn to knit with for that row. it seems like a great way to use up ends of yarn from projects past.
