August Scrap Happy

Its August already. The time flying fast. Yet, this past month was time poor and lacking in motivation. I have instead been sorting, ironing scraps into colour tubs. Attempting to organise and inspire myself.

Stumbling on my paper tape rolls. I started my scrap roll. It’s fiddly, yet interesting. Also great scrap border prep for some distant future project.

Please pop over and visit the blogs of my scrappy blogging friends. They always inspire. This group is lead by 2 go getters Kate and Gun, incredibly talented and motivated with a sewing machine.

2 tone border

Hi Everyone,

Not much has been happening. However still managed a few crochet stitches. Experimenting with different stitches in this 2 tone throw rug. Now onto the border and a twisted 2 tone border to top it off.

Until next time, Happy crafting 💛 Debbierose

July Scrap Happy

No scrap news to post for myself this month. Busy with other items, illness and family issues. Nothing to serious, yet time consuming.

However, do go check out the wondrous creations of my fellow crafters. I am sure you will be delighted.

June Yarning

The Antartic Cold Chill Blast has arrived to mark another season change. June in the land of Oz, the southern end has begun. We have had off and on unseasonably sunny and warm days. Perfect weather to sit under a rug and crochet project.

I am still crocheting and have made 4 granny triangles, using my scrap yarn. It is diffusing the vibrancy of the rainbow yarn and making it sing.

They will be stitched on the side in this format to create a radiant 🌈. Then I will decide on a border.

Until next time Happy Stitching 💜 Debbierose

Scrap Happy ~ May

My scrap happy May journey, utilises yarn left overs, some large and one gifted. I had leftover rainbow yarn. Tried several designs, frogged several times. Until The lovely ladies in Australia Crochet facebook page suggested a granny triangle.

from this ripple that looses it in colour pooling too……

Lots more rows and 3 triangles to go to become a prettier rainbow version. Surplus cream, from baby throws complete this piece.

Then a full 3 ply cake of variegated green. Half knitted by a friend who ripped it out as too dark for her liking. I am using the Ravelry free pattern Grace. Once complete it will go back to my friend to keep, gift, donate to local seniors club for a raffle prize perhaps. Its been a fun pattern so far.

Grace in progress

This yarn does edge toward the dark side….

That’s it for now. Do go checkout the talents of my fellow ScrapHappy bloggers.

Take care 💜 Debbierose

Another good yarn….

You may recall last month I knitted my 1st Adult Beanie. My beanie journey continues as the 1st fitted its recipient perfectly. To add to the recipients collection more beautiful bamboo and one in BMW Cotton. Then a local craft store had faux fur pom poms and denim flowers on sale, the perfect finishing for the next beanie batch. The last in Be Seen Be Safe Orange, a special request for a low bun slot beanie. It was fun tweaking 2 patterns, merging to create this bright beanie. And a quick poppy for Anzac Day.

Scrap Happy – April

Spots are the flavour of this month’s Scrap Happy. I had a partial layer cake and Damask off cuts. Decided on some cushion covers. Tops pieced, to be completed.

I also unpicked and clipped the embroidery off last months block book. Its a little wonky, as I hand sewed it on, and as i had fixed an insert to make it stand up, it was not flexible to sew.

Busy busy….

Aside from extra work shifts dominating my time. I managed to finish a project from my stitching stash draw. Christmas always high on my list, adding a tartan border and black grunge binding. Fits my frame almost perfectly.

Then I broke out my circular needles to whip up a beanie in Lion Truboo, so soft it was difficult to knit with my arthritis.  The yarn slipping smoothly across and off my needles. With a 4×4 basket rib. Gifted today to a dear friend.

Until next time 💛 Debbierose
