I save them sometimes and friends have saved them for me too. I started a locker hooked rug using them but I have a long way to go for it to be big enough to use as I don't work on it very often and find that short pieces don't work very well. The other thing I noticed is that a lot of them are white or nearly so that my rug is turning out pretty light colored. I didn't read thru all 10 pages so someone else may have mentioned using them for this purpose too.
