re: Cutoffs

I too have found it difficult to lessen the cutoff boxes, shelf etc.   
However I and most of you are mere amateurs compared to my daughter and her friends who are knitters!    Boxes, closets, shelves full of unused yarn.   Makes my cutoffs seem almost a mere handful.    
Saw the same at the knit shop she goes to, back room absolutely full, stuffed with left over yarn from past projects.  So compact and dense no one knows for sure what is there.
At least my cutoffs are where I "might" use them!   Makes me feel okay with it.
