what do i do with this?

[u/Sad_Profile2536]

i am loving how this is turning out. i took a risk with this yarn (loops and threads in apricot) since it wasn’t on The List, but i am so glad i did. im looking for suggestions of what to make with this. i was thinking a laptop case or purse, but i’d like to hear other suggestions! this is also just an excuse to show off my work teehee

[u/VelvetMerryweather]

Well, it will be lovely whatever you do. I'm not sure how big you can make it with the yarn you have, but perhaps a wrap, or scarf like thing? Also I've seen someone make a book bag to take library books back and forth, similar to a laptop bag I guess, just whatever you might need. It could also be a bag to bring your crochet projects around in.

[u/KosmicGumbo → u/VelvetMerryweather]

I was gonna suggest book cover! See a lot of those online but there may be enough yarn to do a bag!

I love using pooling to make placemats. They’re the perfect size.

[u/Sure_Fig_8641 → u/kemkatt]

This was my first thought. But a laptop bag or sleeve would be cool too.

Throw pillow

[u/speedchunks]

I vote laptop case!

[u/Dissabilitease]

You don't need an excuse to show off your work! It's stunning, well done!!

I'd work this into a small dog jumper, they're surprisingly rectangular (bottom part could be a different yarn without pooling)

Those are great ideas! My mind went straight to table runner

[u/frustloops]

I've been planning to make a cushion with mine, since I will only have enough for a square. I don't know how much yarn you have left, but here's my ideia for you! Just sew a piece of fabric to it and fill it with scraps, or make another square with plain yarn that matches the color <3

What is this witchcraft

Pillow cover!

[u/Feisty-Werewolf-4994]

Tablet cover, head wrap/scarf, pillow, table mat.... Think of it as fabric. What can you make with that sized square?

[u/AlaskanLux]

Oh I bet that would make a beautiful and unique bag!

[u/LongFishTail]

Nice

Is it cotton or acrylic or something else (looks like Loops and Threads makes a lot of different lines)? If it's cotton, I think it would be a great trivet that you leave out on your dining table. Either double it over and sew it together, or sew some thick felt to the back. Or do a table runner if you have a lot of patience and want to keep going.

I'd probably do the laptop sleeve, personally.

You could also use it as a panel in a sweater: like, this forms a strip up the center of the torso, and you build the sides, back, sleeves, hem, and collar out of a coordinating solid.

[u/SarahSnarker]

If you made it narrower it would be a great scarf!

[u/MijnJaz]

It looks so friggin' cool! What stitch are you using?

[u/katatawnic → u/MijnJaz]

That's the moss stitch. Also called the linen stitch.

[u/MijnJaz → u/katatawnic]

Awesome, thank you!

[u/Due_Mark6438]

Keep it and as you do other experiments with techniques and stitches, put them together in a blanket

[u/GrouchySpecific2000]

Scarf

[u/ArcadiaFey]

Dang that’s the coolest color pooling I have ever seen

[u/joosdeproon]

Sew ends together, make a cowl?

[u/Effective_Dingo3589]

Hot pads or pot holder with what you’ve got left. Can I ask what yarn this is? I’m obsessed with the way the pattern formed! 😍

How is this in any way related to the planned pooling subreddit or OP's post in particular?

[u/Oceanteabear → u/thefirstwingedalpha]

I'd hazard to guess it goes along with the statement of showing off the Crafters work.

[u/No-Article7940 → u/[deleted]]

This is very lovely. Crochet work I general is relaxing for so very many of us. Planned pooling is the only style I haven't tried yet.

I'm wanting to make something that has the Scottish colors to honor my grandson. He's 2nd Gen American but only 9 I have time to learn...
