Using up leftover yarn - big yarn wip - crochet - scrapghan

Finally decided I had better start using up my old scraps of yarn!

[@janesasinek4829]

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!

[@starlightandstitches]

[@starlightandstitches]

Yes!!! I’m in my third year of scrap blanket making and I just love it 🥰❤️

[@jovlogs2214]

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

[@starlightandstitches]

I bet that looks really cool all stitched together!! 😍

[@ruthdennisKnits]

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 😎

[@starlightandstitches]

I’m really loving how mine is working up! I’m so happy with my scrap blanket so far- and every one will be different! What a lovely idea to donate yours. So pleased to have you here 😊

[@gandyzgiftz7508]

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.

[@starlightandstitches]

It’s not copying- it’s sharing ideas!! And every single Scrapghan blanket will be different- no two ever the same!! I’m excited for you 🥰

[@WendyStanbury]

[@starlightandstitches]

[@linda11640]

I've made countless scrapgans over the years, they are the most loved and used blankets in our house.

[@starlightandstitches]

And each and every one is different!! ❤️

[@judyinmichigan3418]

I am in the middle of doing a scrappy blanket and I am really enjoying it as well. Makes me happy to be using up some leftover yarn. Enjoying your videos.

[@starlightandstitches]

LOVE scrappy blankets! It’s my new yearly tradition 🤩

[@user-uo1jw2tu4f]

Yes

[@alisongomes684]

Love the way your blanket is coming out.

[@starlightandstitches]

It looks so funky already!! I’m really pleased with how it’s working up!

[@danabenedetti8753]

Your blanket is really pretty! New subscriber😊

[@Iluv2crochet]

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

[@starlightandstitches]

I just love how mine is going at the moment! And every single one is different! Just awesome!! 🥰

[@heleng.2317]

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!

[@starlightandstitches]

That sounds amazing!!! It’s quite satisfying as well when you make something beautiful out of ‘leftovers’ ❤️

[@craftwithpombear5153]

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!)

[@rubylove164]

I love your Care Bears in the back they are beautiful

[@starlightandstitches]

Thank you so much!! They are a free pattern from stringy ding dings- really easy to follow 😊

[@leeloocarson]

I'll try to use my leftover yarn for amigurumi and sometimes for a blanket. Always great to see you Alice😘😘🤗🤗

[@starlightandstitches]

Ahh thank you 🥰 I’ve got so much leftover yarn from old projects I needed a quick solution!!

[@jacquelinemortimore8176]

Hi. Love your blanket great idea. I make crochet appliqué with scraps of yarn to go on my dog clothes. Look forward to seeing your yarn haul. Love from Jacqui 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🐶mad dachshund lady

[@starlightandstitches]

Appliqués are a fab idea for using up scrap yarn- especially when they’re going on such cute items 🥰

[@jennyallan8794]

Hi Alice 👋, great idea for a blanket liking it already love the nails 💖 xx

[@starlightandstitches]

Thank you!! Yes the nails are a bit ‘vibrant’ this week but I love them too!

[@margaretmiddleton9244]

I love your Care Bears behind you it would love to have one

[@starlightandstitches]

The pattern is available for free on the stringy ding dings website!! 🥳

[@marina_m11]

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 🥰❤️

[@irismoles9369]

Loving those bears on your shelf

[@starlightandstitches]

They’re a free online pattern from Stringy-ding-dings!! I think they were called happy bears ❤️

[@SigalAlon]

Just landed on your channel with this video. I like the concept of your scrap blanket. Looks awesome.

[@starlightandstitches]

I’ve only got just over one more week left to work on it before the year ends… you should see it now- it’s HUGE!!!

[@SigalAlon]

@@starlightandstitches I will!

[@gwendolynknap6297]

Nice fun place to be

[@mahikreations]

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! 🤩

[@starlightandstitches]

Wips stress me out!! 😂😂 But this one I think I can just about cope with ☺️

[@GrannyL]

I make lots of scrap blankets for animal rescues I love them I always double strand my yarn when making animal blankets ( I don't like thin yarn like dk but it goes further than chunky yarn ) have fun doing yours x

[@starlightandstitches]

That’s such a good idea and I bet they’re so grateful 🥰🥰🥰

[@acraftyseason1007]

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]

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!

[@Berserk_Alize3]

Just found your channel and cannot find that shawl you are wearing!? I love that pattern! What playlist/video title is it under? Thank you!

[@AliceLeblancpusheen1824]

Hello again starlight and stitches Thank you so much for uploading your using up leftover yarn - big yarn wip - crochet scrapghan When you do your next yarn haul video when you upload next yarn haul video going on KZbin soon From Alice Leblanc pusheen channel

[@starlightandstitches]

It will be at some point this weekend Alice ☺️ Thanks for watching!

[@lucykent1957]

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]

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 😊

[@bonniemyers1163]

I do rugs with double strands of scrap yarn

[@starlightandstitches]

It gives such a cool effect! I love it 😊

[@beatricebole2118]

Do you do any loom knitting

[@starlightandstitches]

No not really, I did buy a knock off sentro machine once but it was rubbish so I gave up on that one 😂
