I begin by carefully choosing colors from my yarn stash deciding which weights of yarns would be best for a garment or a purse. When making a sweater or shawl, I look for yarns that will blend and drape well together: finger-weight, sport, dk, wool, silk, mohair, novelty, etc.



A dress form is handy to see how the pieces drapes and help me decide how I want to form the neckline and sleeves...

There are always lots of yarn ends to sew in! This is a good project to do while watching a movie or program on television.
