everything old is new again

i am using scraps of yarn to make beautiful things with.
i find myself jumping into projects without this tightening in the stomack and angst and the pondering that many skeins of a new yarn induce in me:
is this THE project that i want to be knitting with this?
is this creative enough or is it very plain for all of these skeins?

it's so liberating to knit or crochet from "old" and make something "new", very satisfying. have you seen howbeautiful some children's drawings are? they just don't sit there wondering about a topic, they throw their hearts on a paper, when i "grow up", that's how i want to approach knitting.
