Yarn scrap project

Hi all. Ever wonder what to do with those scraps of yarn you have after a finished project? If your like me, you keep them hoping to use them to make a dishcloth of scrap yarn or maybe u might tie a bow on a present with it who knows, point being u saved it because u felt there was a need for it in some way shape or form so here's what I did.

I had just recently moved my cat into my boyfriends house I got all the way to his house before realizing I forgot to grab some of her toys, I then decided to take it upon myself to make her something. At first I had no idea where to start and suddenly I remembered something I saw and thought was to hard to do, so I looked up a video and was suddenly suprized on how easy it was to do.

I decided to take my yarn scraps and make an i-cord cat toy where u knit the same stitches over and over, without turning the work which is done by using double point needles or circular needles, and it creates a neat looking round cord. I knitted it long enough so I could toss It out and reel her in and she seems to like it as u will see from the picture. I also could of hid the yarn better from when I switched over, but I couldn't find my tapestry needle so I didn't weave in the ends which it would of looked better if I did. Any questions please comment, the pic I have is kinda bad so I'll try to add a better one later. Until next post!
