Happy ScrapHappy Day! 

ScrapHappy Day is the 15th of the month, when a  group of bloggers each post a blog about using up their scraps! Any material of genuine scrap status is allowed:  I have used scraps of wood; yarn; and fabric.   I’ve also seen posts about: scrap silver; polyethylene; paper; electronic equipment; metal; and I think just about everything!

I was away from most of my scraps for almost a month, but I did bring some scrap yarn and made these while I was away…

Last year I made this cardigan, and it did generate some leftover yarn…

Yarn scrap accents

…which I used to accent this shawl. A friend spun the dark brown and light brown alpaca, and asked me to knit it up for her.  It’s going to be a shawl using a pattern that I bought at the Frilands Museet in Copenhagen. I am part way through knitting a dark red lace at the bottom edge.

I love reading about the interesting and inspiring ideas that people are willing to share and the clever ways that so many bits and pieces have been saved from the scrap heaps!
