CROCHET CONVERSATIONS with Inez & Mell

In this episode, we talk about how much crochet reeeeeally costs. I'm sure we've all come across the comment often enough...

In this episode, we give you a list of aaaallll the things you can do with yarn scraps other than just throwing them away. I think a big part of what makes us responsible as maker-crafters is to leave the environment a better place than it was when we first bought that ball of yarn. It may not seem like much, but if all of us could just implement a little bit of these Yarn Scrap Options, 50 generations from now we might just have a planet more beautiful than it is today.
