I left my tree up till after valentines before. The rule is when the ornaments, are falling off the dry tree take it down. No lights after it gets dry tho. With an artificial tree it is till the cats are daring to steal ornaments and climb it. The first time I watched you was when you showed the big stack of scraptastic blankets . They are pretty awesome!
I'm going to be making one of these when I get back from my trip. I'll send you a pic. You inspired me because I have shit tons of weird yarn I don't know what to do with 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Homespun is not one of my favorites but it can be useful for a project when I need to combine skeins of donated yarn. The direction you wrap your yarn is opposite of the way I wrap mine. Except that when you double wrap the yarn, you wrap two different directions. Now I'm eager to try your design to see if mine finished blanket looks very different. My homespun yarn is in storage so I need to retrieve it. I'm pretty sure the magic knit is just another way of tying a square knot which is also very secure.
I have two WIP to finish before I can start a scraptastic Blanket. Looks like fun and I have soooooo many skeins of yarn to use up. Thank you! And a scrap basket!!
Beautiful blanket! I love scrapghans! Like seriously no yarn is ever wasted and they are such a unique artwork. No two the same. Perfect beginner project. 😃
Just want you to know, I love your videos and humour you put into them and I've no idea why or how your not bigger than bag o day!!!! I watch a LOT of channels and yours is the best!!!... You put time, effort and your easy to listen too and your fresh and trendy with your tutorials Keep up the good work and thanks for great viewing!!🤗😀🥰🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
Hi Ginger! I actually like homespun yarn lol , I am thrilled you like the hooks, it was a real joy to gift them to you! You are so talented! I can't wait to start one of these blankets!!
Now there's a plan for the Homespun in my stash. Thanks Ginger, and thanks also for showing the magic knot. It seems that the time needed to crochet a project s not multiplied by the number of strands we use...but it grows a lot faster. What a deal!
A while back I bought Homespun yarn in cakes which has 4 different colours which also helps in colour change and less knots I love it for my blankets 😀
I was in need of this , I made one skein scarfs of homespun but had some of each leftover . Perfect for at least 2 rows. Now seeing it worked up , it’s on my list! Thank you!
I enjoy working with homespun . I crocheted beautiful Christmas stockings this past Christmas with it. You can pair a strand of yarn with sparkle in it and it looks awesome! You're great at doing tutorials. Thanks 💕
I love your scraptastic Homespun and I can see the squish!! This is exactly what I need for the tote full of miscellaneous Homespun that I found at a garage sale! PS: As long as your Christmas tree brings you joy, don't worry about the date, Ginger!
It takes approx 6-7 seven ounce skeins of Red Heart Super Saver 4 weight yarn to make a throw size afghan. (50"x60") It depends on the stitch used and the tension. I base this on personal experience and uses of lots of Red Heart yarn. There are similar yarns that are compatible.
I just finished a shrug made from Loops & Threads Madrid with cuffs and border from Homespun yarn. Because the Madrid is a self-striping yarn, I kind of had trouble selecting a solid that would coordinate. I had doubts about the Homespun until I had finished the first cuff, but I love the finished result. I used a Susan Bates Crystal Lite hook and it worked nicely. 😃
Omg I just found this video and is the perfect solution for my 6 balls sitting since two years I was not able to do anything but this tutorial will make your beautiful scrapghan ❤
I have a lot of homespun. I did knit a blanket a long time ago. I also made a sweater it’s very heavy. I went up in my attic and got it down. I did 100 stitches with a p hook 1 strand of homespun 1 strand of worsted weight. I’m doing 5 rows and changing colors. I have a bunch of a variegated green I may change the worsted weight every 5 rows in another one
I have a friend who keeps her tree 🌲 up all year round without ornaments after Christmas though. She says it makes her happy so why not like you said L͏i͏f͏e is short so what makes you happy!
Love the blanket. I've never used homespun b4. I have a cardi pattern I won that uses it but I've been afraid of it bc of all that I heard about it lol. Will give a try at some point.
Thanks for this. I’m a new subscriber. I don’t know what’s wrong with seeing your eyes! I don’t get it. I love the blanket with the grey dominating. It’s so pretty.
I am working with homespun right now and I haven’t had trouble with it, o have been using a size 7 hook from clover (the hook part is not metal) which glides through the hook very well! I totally agree I would not use any hook under 7 in my opinion! It does look great when worked up I love it
Hi Camper! Definitely try mixing it with another Yarn..... it's a game changer! Also, there's no reason for my workings on my stitches. It's just how I crochet 🤪. They are just regular hdc, so just do it however it feels comfortable to you.😊
I usually just throw them in the washer and dryer on low heat settings. The Yarn I use is mostly acrylic, so I have never had a problem washing them this way. I hope this helps!😊
I have a humongous amount of a pastel Homespun that I want to try a blanket like yours. Is the scrap blanket crochet with another yarn still makes the Homespun very fluffy with all the flyaways that are so bothersome? Thanks
Love that! Could I use a DC instead! HDCs always hurt my wrist. 😕 Just finished a shawl using two strands of yarn. I don't care for a three weight, so I mixed it with a four and used a 9mm hook.
I don’t understand the issues with Homespun. It just takes some finagling to get used to the texture. Also after a certain number of blankets the household can only use so many so I donate yarn to Goodwill that way others can also have fun using nice yarns and who knows? Maybe they make scrappy blankets too ☺️
I can crochet with anything. I have used very fine tread to rope. It's not that Homespun is anything special for me, I just don't know what to make with it. It's a little pricey to buy enough to make something big.
I don't think I've ever seen someone wrap their yarn that way on their chain stitches. It's always been done from the right, across the front, not the left. Great tutorial though.
I've never see yarnovers like that. Mixing yarn from the back and yarning from the front. So glad I'm not a beginner cuz your tutorial would confuse me.
Good Morning, Elaine! Nope, that is the awesome thing about scraptastic blankets..... you can use whatever you want. I just use the one color all the way through for one of the stands because I like doing that way. When I can. 🥰
I get frustrated with the texture because I can't see the stitches, so I just go for it, feel and hope for the best, but because of that texture it is a very forgiving yarn.
Just watching your videos now (2023). Thank you for explaining and showing how you make the Scrapghans/blankets. So pretty!
I love making scrap blankets. They come out so beautifully

With an artificial tree it is till the cats are daring to steal ornaments and climb it. The first time I watched you was when you showed the big stack of scraptastic blankets .

I made a 8ft scarf out of the Homespun yarn a few years back. I was having so much fun with it, i did not want to stop
I'm going to be making one of these when I get back from my trip. I'll send you a pic. You inspired me because I have shit tons of weird yarn I don't know what to do with 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the magic knot. I use it all the time!!
That’s a really pretty blanket, Ginger. Also I loved the 2000 years later!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Have a good night!!!

i made my grandson a blanket out of homespun and we love it... its like a weighted blanket
I love the yarn pairing. I've never done that before.
Just stopping by to say Hi Ginger! Great scrap blanket. Thank you for walking us through it. Take care.
Homespun is what I first started back crocheting with. I still have a bunch of it. Great blanket!
Hi Ginger! I actually like homespun yarn lol , I am thrilled you like the hooks, it was a real joy to gift them to you! You are so talented! I can't wait to start one of these blankets!!
Years ago homespun was the only yarn I would ever crochet with I have made so many things with it
I adore your humor!
Now there's a plan for the Homespun in my stash. Thanks Ginger, and thanks also for showing the magic knot. It seems that the time needed to crochet a project s not multiplied by the number of strands we use...but it grows a lot faster. What a deal!
Very nice Ginger thank you for sharing! Your scrapghan looks great, beautiful! Great idea on pairing it with another yarn 🧶
Love Homespun. Making hooded ponchos, in different colors. You inspired an idea of what i can do w/the scraps. 😚 thank you Ginger
Your so adorable!and funny also!
I love homespun yarn!! Liked it better when there were more options, but I love it. I use an H or I hook and rarely have problems.
I used the Homespun and made a hat it was beautiful.
I just love Homespun yarn! Thanks for this project. 😍
Love the homespun scrap yarn blanket.
I love homespun! Beautiful blanket!!
Hello Ginger!! This looks so warm and so cozy. I love all the different colors. It kind of looks marbled or marled. TFS
Happy Crocheting and God Bless

Thank you for the great idea for a scraptastic bkanket. Bet it will be nice and warm.
I did that same thing recently. Very relaxing since I’ve doubled it with another yarn.
Get'er done! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I enjoy working with homespun . I crocheted beautiful Christmas stockings this past Christmas with it. You can pair a strand of yarn with sparkle in it and it looks awesome!
You're great at doing tutorials. Thanks 💕
I was ready to toss my homespun stash. You saved the day.
Yay!!! Zenobia, that makes me sooooooo happy!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥰
I give them away as 🎁 presents...lap/afghan throws.
Awesome hook. Thank you for sharing. Your Scraptastic blankets are awesome.
I love your scraptastic Homespun and I can see the squish!! This is exactly what I need for the tote full of miscellaneous Homespun that I found at a garage sale! PS: As long as your Christmas tree brings you joy, don't worry about the date, Ginger!
What a lovely blanket. I can just imagine a lovely wood fire and sitting wrapped in your blanket.
That is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your method! Enjoy your 🌳.
I understood the entire stitching.. thank you so much.. I'm a newbie
It takes approx 6-7 seven ounce skeins of Red Heart Super Saver 4 weight yarn to make a throw size afghan. (50"x60") It depends on the stitch used and the tension.

Thank You Ginger, love your scraptastic blanket!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your tutorial. I just found your channel. .So glad I did.😊❤
I don't have homespun yarn but I do have a lot of scrape yarn, so this looks like my next project. Thanks for the idea
Beautiful blanket! Love the yarn, too! Great video!!! ⚓️😁💙
Thank-you, OlaJoe!!🥰🥰🥰
@@theYarnGeek you’re very welcome ☺️

Love Homespun yarn!
Love this concept. Very creative!

Hi Andrea….Yay!! I have used up so much of my extra yarn this way!🥰
Its a beautiful blanket I need to use up my scrap yarn to lol
I have a lot of homespun. I did knit a blanket a long time ago. I also made a sweater it’s very heavy.
I went up in my attic and got it down. I did 100 stitches with a p hook 1 strand of homespun 1 strand of worsted weight. I’m doing 5 rows and changing colors. I have a bunch of a variegated green I may change the worsted weight every 5 rows in another one
Love this! Good way to use up my yarn stash, if I could keep my Chrismas tree up year round I would, I think it's the lights that do it for me
What a beautiful blanket! 🧶 Thanks for sharing. 😀
You are just amaZing 🤩 Ginger!!!
I have a friend who keeps her tree 🌲 up all year round without ornaments after Christmas though. She says it makes her happy so why not like you said L͏i͏f͏e is short so what makes you happy!
Lovely
What we do in. New Orleans is put purple green and gold decorations on our Christmas trees for Marci Gras. We take them down after Mardi Gras is over
Glad you turned down music. Thanks
Great video. Love scrap blankets. ❤️
Great Video! Im so excited to make one of these!! Thanks bunches, Ginger!! xx :D
Thank-you so much! They are super addictive! 🤩
Thanks for the great tutorial!!
💚😊💚😊
I have assorted Homespun. I may try this. I say all colors go together. Ever hear a box of crayons arguing?
Love the blanket. I've never used homespun b4. I have a cardi pattern I won that uses it but I've been afraid of it bc of all that I heard about it lol. Will give a try at some point.
Thanks for this. I’m a new subscriber. I don’t know what’s wrong with seeing your eyes! I don’t get it. I love the blanket with the grey dominating. It’s so pretty.
Does it make a difference to the texture of the blanket if you bring the yarn over from the back to front and then twice from front to back over hook?
I am working with homespun right now and I haven’t had trouble with it, o have been using a size 7 hook from clover (the hook part is not metal) which glides through the hook very well! I totally agree I would not use any hook under 7 in my opinion! It does look great when worked up I love it
😊I have never liked homespun yarn but you may have changed that! Great tutorial with ideas for me to use.
Yay!! Thanks for telling me - I love knowing that I am helping you all love your yarns more!!💕❤️
Great tutorial.
Love your blanket it’s gorgeous!
Thank-you, Dina!🥰
Thank you!! Love love your videos!!
Pretty awesome what scrap yarns can make.
Omg, girl how many scrap blankets you done already, would like to know.😁
I do not like working with homespun. Mixing it might help. Is there a reason for mixing up chaining over and going across on the same stitch?
Hi Camper! Definitely try mixing it with another Yarn..... it's a game changer! Also, there's no reason for my workings on my stitches. It's just how I crochet 🤪. They are just regular hdc, so just do it however it feels comfortable to you.😊
How do you wash and dry your scraptastic blankets
I usually just throw them in the washer and dryer on low heat settings. The Yarn I use is mostly acrylic, so I have never had a problem washing them this way. I hope this helps!😊
I Math so hard I turned to Crochet! Art + Math = Crochet, lol
Love it thank you for sharing
LOVE!💕⭐️👍🏻
I have a humongous amount of a pastel Homespun that I want to try a blanket like yours. Is the scrap blanket crochet with another yarn still makes the Homespun very fluffy with all the flyaways that are so bothersome? Thanks
Love that! Could I use a DC instead! HDCs always hurt my wrist. 😕
Just finished a shawl using two strands of yarn. I don't care for a three weight, so I mixed it with a four and used a 9mm hook.
That's a very pretty blanket! What crochet hook is that? It's beautiful and looks so smooth and balanced.
thank you!
I don’t understand the issues with Homespun. It just takes some finagling to get used to the texture. Also after a certain number of blankets the household can only use so many so I donate yarn to Goodwill that way others can also have fun using nice yarns and who knows? Maybe they make scrappy blankets too ☺️
I can crochet with anything. I have used very fine tread to rope. It's not that Homespun is anything special for me, I just don't know what to make with it. It's a little pricey to buy enough to make something big.
I tried knitting with Homespun and found out really quickly that only a plain pattern would work!
I love the way you edit, do you mind me asking what editing software you use?
Thanks!😄 I use the InShot app and I do all of my editing on my phone. It is super easy and there are so many things you can do with it!
I don't think I've ever seen someone wrap their yarn that way on their chain stitches. It's always been done from the right, across the front, not the left. Great tutorial though.
I've never see yarnovers like that. Mixing yarn from the back and yarning from the front. So glad I'm not a beginner cuz your tutorial would confuse me.
Добрый вечер.Скажите пожалуйста как называется красная пряжа? Спасибо заранее.
What size hook?
Morning Ginger: Do I have to have 2000 yds of 1 color? Can’t I just use scraps
Good Morning, Elaine! Nope, that is the awesome thing about scraptastic blankets..... you can use whatever you want. I just use the one color all the way through for one of the stands because I like doing that way. When I can. 🥰
I think you mean boucle yarn...
I get frustrated with the texture because I can't see the stitches, so I just go for it, feel and hope for the best, but because of that texture it is a very forgiving yarn.
Hold the phone - why is your yarn over two different motions?? 🧐 You wrap differently depending on whether or not you’ve worked into the stitch?? 🤨
I noticed the same thing.
I never use that.kind of.yarn
You can make this with any kind of yarn! It's so much fun!🥰
Cut the music so we can hear you! Thank you…
Sorry about that😢
I dont like homespun it's hard for me to see it
