craftyI got to discussing this topic with a friend, and figured other folks would enjoy the resources.

We also talked about stashbusters, of which slippers are a good example.
There are many "stashbuster" patterns. These tend to fall into a handful of types:
* a unified project that uses many colors in small amounts (e.g. a box-bottom afghan done in simple stripes, or granny squares with the same border but different centers)
* a composite project that uses different colors in small amounts for some parts (e.g. a bouquet of flowers where the stems and leaves are all green but individual flowers vary)
* any tiny project (e.g. ornaments, bows)

Alternatively you can unroll the scrap yarns, link them together, and make a crazyball similar to a zauberball. That can be used to make anything like a scarf or afghan where the color changes will look good. Some people like sweaters that way but the more common sweater approach is striping or blocking with separate pieces of yarn.
