I enjoy these posts about using up scraps. I’d love to see one on how to store and catalog those bits and pieces we want to hang on to for repairs and such.
Now that I have a lonnng list of projects...! I've been wanting to make a bunting for my grandkids to put up in their rooms and this has encouraged me to just get it done! Tell Emily we missed her!
Thank you for sharing this video with the world. You inspired me to make something beautiful out of my scraps….. I am all ready picking up some yarn for my next project. The log cabin blanket……! Lots of love, ka de slang. (België)
Ooh, this was so good! Thank you for so many fun project ideas. I needed this. Thank you for all of the time you put into this. Have a wonderful and Happy 4th Holiday 🇺🇸
Thank you for this episode! I love scrappy projects and are busy with a few myself! I also made an episode (28) about some of my completed ones recently. I love the corner to corner crochet linenst! Don't forget about Stephen West! He is the king of scrappy 😀. The Penguono is my favorite!
Koo-why like the Hawaiian island…beautiful job pulling these patterns together! I finished a sweater recently holding two fingering weight yarns together but frogged it within a week of finishing. It was so heavy it weighed 50lbs (well actually 5 lbs but it felt like 50!) I love holding mohair and fingering.
One thing I discovered with mine which might help you, depending on when you are on yours, is that the armhole depth is very large. If I had known that, I would have reduced it.
Thank you sooo much Deborah for the fun video! I am so inspired to have some new ideas on ways to use up yarn and mini's. The show notes are wonderful and so helpful for where to find these new ideas. Your projects were so much fun to see. Thank you again and God Bless....💕
What a blessing! Thank you so much for taking some of your precious time to share this with us. In Feb when I broke my wrist I couldn't knit with my cast but I could crochet.. slowly. I needed a wool blanket for our bed so I took out my basket of bits and pieces, my minis and some sock yarn that I wasn't going to use and paired it with some EcoWool from Cascade yarns. I used the linen stitch to make it solid but a size 13 hook so it wouldn't be too heavy. We love it.. thank you again..
Another good scrap buster blanket is the Color Therapy blanket by Warm Stripes. It’s a free pattern where you hold 5 strands of fingering weight together. It’s a seed stitch blanket but it’s so lovely.
I don’t know how I missed this last month but it is fantastic! All these great projects in one place. Yay. Thanks so much Deborah for this wonderful and inspiring video 👏💕👏
I love the ideas you showed. I really like how you make your scrappy socks using a consistent color in between. I also really love your patriotic socks with the stars
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful ideas to use scraps and minis!! I saw your Stashdive Raglan on an earlier podcast and am excited to knit that at some point!! Thanks for sharing!!😊🧶😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to put these ideas together, Deborah! I Love the little reversible spotted cowl you did! I would like to try that one. Also I’ve also been wanting to try the Polsden By Ami Lowden. I love the look of the Siri alpaca striped every other stripe like the one you showed. Hope you and Emily are having a nice summer!
I wear the spotted cowl quite a bit in the winter, and it was fun to make. I look forward to starting the Polsden. I am going to use mohair instead of the siri alpaca though because knitting with mohair is one of my favorite fibers to work with.
Me too!! I have so many other projects in the que but I find myself continuing to go back to stash busting all the time.I feel guilt breaking into new skeins when there are so many scraps laying around.
I came across your channel by chance and I love it!!! You have so much talent!!! I wish you could do a video on how you make your neck warmer double sided with the dots. My goodness I am so inspired by you and it makes me want to learn more! Thank You so much for all your hard work and sharing it on You Tube. You are so AMAZING I am just in Awe of you. have a wonderful day.
Delightfully inspiring, Deborah! Liked and Saved. Thank you for introducing us to so many ideas and possibilities. I hadn't come across Little Woollies nor Kate Selene in my yarny "travels". The Little Woollies log cabin square made me pause the video to check it out. Happy Summer to you! - @yarniques
I recently finished the JellyRoll blanket by Kay Jones. It is great for big and tiny scraps of all colors. It didn't make much of a dent iny scrap bucket, though. I will definitely try several of these suggestions!
DEBORAH I LOVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS THAT YOU IMPROVISED IN THE KNITTING PATTERNS YOU USED. YOU ARE VERY CREATIVE.THE COWL PATTERN THAT YOU ADAPTED WITH THE RIBBED BOTTOM AND THE 1/2 STITCHES IS BEAUTIFUL AND I WOULD MAKE A TEE WITH A LOWER NECK LINE AND SHORT SLEEVES OUT OF YOUR COWL PATTERN.YOU ARE VERY TALENTED.THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO WITH US. DONNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been looking at the Sea Glass Tee to bust through my minis. I'd need to hack it into a cardigan as I dislike pull over style sweaters. It might be a couple years before I get to it, though. I loved seeing all the ideas!
I love this episode. I can't find one of the cardigans, but maybe I can on Ravelry. I am currently making the leggings by Stephen West - very scrappy. I have been looking at the v back tee for my 20 minis from an advent...
You can do yarn cozy lite from KnittyNatty she has the 100 grams and 50 & 20 grams, crochet version too. I bought 4 mini skeins of 20 grams and I only used very little of yarn on the 4th skein. Easy and addicting lol😊 westknits has patterns too.
You are welcome! I remember when I first picked up knitting again several years ago, I would see everyone's scrappy blankets and feel jealous that I didn't have scraps to work with. It's not a problem now. 🤣
