Normally, I just toss left over yarn into a basket for some later project. Now that I'm a new, improved, non-procrastinating person, I knit a pair of wrist warmer without hesitation. I did have enough yarn left over from weaving the scarf to make two wrist warmers. The picture makes them look better than they really are, but....on a cold day (of walking across campus or walking the dog) these wrist warmers will do the job especially with the fleece gloves underneath.
