This post is part of Knitting and Crochet Blog Week: The Photography Challenge Day. Welcome if you are here for the first time.
I’m a big fan of knitting socks, but there is always the problem of what to do with those silly little leftovers. Here is a solution that I have found useful. I hope you will too.
Take a variety of leftovers:
Mix them up together:
Bake for a while until it looks done*:
Perfect for a cold day.
If you want some more helpful instructions for this, try the Sock Yarn Blanket pattern by The Heathen Housewife.
*I wouldn’t recommend actually baking the yarn. Better to cook it more slowly using two pointy sticks and some mysterious waving of the hands. Works every time, and you usually don’t set the house on fire.

you are very dedicated to mix up your yarn like that! 😛 Good job 🙂
If you look closely, you’ll see that it is only the top layer that is mixed up. It is all untangled and rewound now.
Oh, I admire sock yarn blankets – yours is lovely. Fun post!
Yarn cake! Delicious, and it’ll never spoil!
Love it!
That was AWESOME! Gives new meaning to the phrase, “Gotta go cook something up…” Very creative!
Cute!
Weird, I always thought blankets were made by cooking yarn… Are you sure it’s better done by waving sticks around ?
AWESOME! That is the best thing ever! How to bake yarn!
