Show More Scrap Projects

Dear Josefa, 

I also think that the topic of “leftovers” and what you can make from them will continue to be with us—after all, they keep turning up in some form. And since the other post was a real treasure trove of ideas for everyone, I think continuing it here is a good idea. 

Best regards, Ina

Title: Cover for an exercise sitting ball

Which leftovers were used and how:
Lots of leftover yarn, mainly sock yarn, crocheted with a thick crochet hook

Short story:
When I sit at my desk—as I am now—I sit on an exercise ball. It moves, so you sit more actively than on a rigid desk chair. And because I didn’t want to sit on rubber, I crocheted a washable, comfortable wool cover with a zipper. The cover is made from various leftover yarns. It has a zipper running all the way around the middle, so I can remove the cover and wash it. You can find the free pattern in my blog.
