Go over to the Garden JUnk forum and ask the the gals and guys there for ideas. They are a creative and talented bunch of folk. Freecycle it on your local freecycle chapter. It's free and easy http://www.freecycle.org/ Offer it to a local 4H group or even an elementry school teacher. How about making a hammock or 2 for yourself. Nettings of most sizes make nice hammocks. If it is a tight small spaced netting maybe make a few reusable tote bags for beach use, sand shakes out so nice from netting... shopping, no need for you to take paper or plastic to send to a landfill.... gifts for friends I wish I had seen this earlier in the month. I hope these suggestions aren't too late. Here is a link that might be useful: national freecycle site

Give it to either a local school or a theater company.... it makes great scary farbic for theater sets.

I have the same problem. Here's what I do 100% cotton goes into a "quilt scrap" box. But I also do a lot of knit garments (for mom and granddaughter). When cutting them out, I throw some into a basket near the serger to use for test sewing. The small scraps I throw in the trash. The rest I save. I have a pile of lightweight knit leftovers from tee shirts I've made. I plan to see if I can make some tank tops for next summer - some coordinate, so I can piece them. Some make nice accent pieces (ribbing, piping, etc). If the leftovers are big enough, they go into a box for donation to the thrift store. If not, out they go.

Artemis, kind of off topic, but I have to admit I have no idea what 'pakoras' is, so I googled it yesterday. Found there are a gazillion (or so it seems) different definitions and/or recipes. Would you please share your recipe? It sounds like something I would like to try, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you! Rusty
