Scrapghan

As I mentioned, in a previous post, I recently put my yarn ball winder to good use.  One of the things I used it for are these scrappy yarn cakes.  I took a bunch of partially used skeins and wound them together, just tying in another color whenever I thought it was a good time to do so.  This scrapghan is the result.  It’s lapghan size.  I think the middle of it makes it look like I was drunk (LOL) but the rest of it looks pretty cool to me. :D  And no, I was not drunk.  The strongest thing I would have been drinking while working on it would have been Diet Mountain Dew. ;D

  1. What a great idea. I love it. Do you weave the ends in when your done? Just found your blog and became a follower.

  2. Very nice. I hate to waste leftover bits of yarn and I've made many scrap afghans that have seen much use.

  5. You have made a good use of scraps :) it's beautiful! and I like those colourful balls too as if there are many secret colors inside. It must be fun to work with a curiosity of which color will follow next in the design:)
