granny square scarf from yarn scraps

granny scarf

Too many of my projects are in progress. I really needed to finish something, so I did what any crazy crafter would do. I started something new.

Last week I grabbed some scrap yarn from my bin of miscellaneous ends and started making squares. I used up almost every bit of these colors with about one yard of white and a few inches of pink left over.

I don’t know what I’m going to do with a kid-sized scarf at the beginning of spring. It was 80 degrees today! My daughter tried it on, but hasn’t asked for it. Maybe I’ll tuck it away and see if she changes her mind in the Fall.

pattern: the motif is from Red Heart’s Copenhagen pillow designed by Yvonne Eijkenduijn of Yvestown. I added an extra round to make the squares bigger — basically repeating round three with a chain between the double crochet clusters.

random odds and ends of yarn

In my creative space today is a big plastic tote’s worth of odds and ends. Literally. My friend Tana has saved all of the leftovers from her projects since she started knitting. (There’s a lot more than what’s pictured.) She was planning to donate them to the thrift store, but thankfully called me first.

All sorts of possibilities are running through my head. I’ll admit a lot of them are filled with some type of granny square. Can’t wait to dive in!
