    I'm making blanky's to donate to the local sheriff's dept for the officers to carry in their trunks for children in traumatic situations and also lap/ wrap blankets for senior citizens for the officers to carry with them. My first time using 2 yarns scans yarn and they turn out so pretty and colorful! Perfect for kids learning their.colors too!

    I‘m making a scrapghan at the moment using 3 strands and a 9mm hook. I try to use one light, one dark and a medium toned strand. I love it so far ❤

    I make hexagons out of my leftover yarns and sew then all together into a blanket, it's quite big so far. Can't wait to see your blanket grow

    I’ve made scrap blankets with 2 different yarns also. The blanket is very thick and warm. I plan to donate it to a shelter human or animal❤ I live in Houston Texas 😎

      Check out Comfort for Critters. They give handmade blankets to shelter animals to help with their adjustment to shelter life and once the animals get adopted the blanket goes with them. It is a wonderful charity.

    I’ve crocheted a few “scrapghans” now and they are my favorites actually. Probably because they end up being so colorful and cozy!

    Recently, I've made a couple of baskets with leftover variegated yarn. I love them but it is hard on my hands to work with three or four strands of yarn at once. My favourite thing was when I took all my leftover baby yarn from making blankets for friends' & relatives' babies, magic knotted it into huge balls of yarn and made myself a shawl with the result. I generally don't wear pastels, but the shawl is warm and cozy, and I love it! It looks a little like a tree trunk with multi-colours.
    Have fun with your blanket!

    Hi Alice ,I have been making granny squares out of my left over yarn,but after seeing your scrapghan would like to give that a try,so I will have 2 projects going on with my scrap yarn ,thanks for sharing,hope you don’t mind me copying you 🤗🤗

    Looks awesome! If I did it, though, it’d be c2c, I go bonkers doing rows!
    Although, when I started crocheting, I made a scarf for friend with one row of each (well, a friend had her 5 year old cousin visiting from a different country, who was absolutely delighted to get it… she had suggested it when I saw her, so I whipped it up in 2 days… just in time for Christmas!)

    Hi Alice! I just discovered your channel, after seeing a video about chaos blankets for shelter pets. YT directed me to Kiera‘s dollhouse, where she talked about that & the organization she donates small scrap blankets to (called comfort for critters in the U.S.) Then YT directed me to you! The algorithms are fun sometimes. I’m going to have to look for progress videos about your lovely scrap blanket (I see this video is a year old.) So many things I want to make. Love your energy!

    • @starlightandstitches

      I’m now on my third scrap blanket and my aim is to make one every year using the scraps from all my projects! So happy to have you here- it’s a bit chaotic at times but if you can cope with that then I hope you’ll have a fun time with us 🥰❤️

    That's a really great idea Alice, might try that myself... but I'm so bad with WIPS, I currently have about 6 going on, two that I've finished but need to weave in ends and a box full of scraps! Can't wait to see your end of month finished projects, the cardigan your wearing looks great! 🤩

    Cool blanket Alice, I honestly don't have left over yarn🤔 I do keep yarn ends to stuff legs of amigurumi and necks, but scrap yarn I just don't have any. I'm not sure why, maybe I need to crochet more

    • @starlightandstitches
      @starlightandstitches  2 роки тому

      You’re lucky if you don’t have any scraps! I have so many from finishing projects and then not having enough leftover to make a whole new thing!

    Brilliant idea! I defo need to start to make a blanket out of my leftovers! I also keep all the trimmings that i cut off from projects once i’ve tied them on and no idea what to do with those! I was thinking using them for stuffing for amigurumi but i don’t think it would be squishy enough! Any ideas? Looking forward to the ali express haul! Take care ❤️

    • @starlightandstitches
      @starlightandstitches  2 роки тому +1

      Ooohh I actually used my yarn cut offs when I made my ‘Mr scraps’ dragon (pattern by Ami amour). Hence the name Mr Scraps! He is actually lovely and squishy and holds his shape really well 😊
