Scrap-ghan CAL

[Ilene]

I can't wait to see what it looks like, I'm sure it will be very interesting!

[scc51055]

I have had one started for many years! i am making one large granny square with the leftover yarn i have. I stash the small balls of left over yarn in the basket with the blanket and then when i am bored of what i am working on at the time i work using the scraps! who knows when it will get done:think

i found some flouresent orange woo, this ghan is gonna be strange!

[KnicKnac]

Ok, I have been scarce around these parts as of late. I was getting REALLY discouraged on not getting anything done on my scrapghan - and then I figured out why - it's TOO BLASTED HOT TO MAKE AN AFGHAN!!! What the heck was I thinking??? Making a afghan in the summer????

 

Oh well - I decided to get something done since I was the one that started this whole CAL and started whipping up something for someone that just had a baby in the neighborhood...I posted about it in another thread...

I hope you all will take me back...

I just did a square from a book I picked up from a garage sale. Here it is - it will take me FOREVER to finish this, but that's OK. I just have so many things to do!

Wow krystal that is a pretty cool hexigon square you have there! I love it.

[KnicKnac]

That is really pretty!!!

[squish_52]

that is so pretty!

[Krystal16]

It's from a REALLY old Women's Day pattern book, all 70's vintage stuff - some really wild things in there! It's called "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not", but I can't find it online anywhere. I bought the book specifically for THIS pattern. You can mix and match any of those tiny little scraps for the flower and/or stripe.

 

I just don't like crocheting into a chain - drives me batty, and that's how you make the petals. UGH! scs, hdcs, and dcs - all into a floppy CHAIN! But, I like the pattern, so I'll suffer....

[Krystal16]

3 hexes done! Green/green purple/purple white/red...will post pics when I can.

 

Everyone else done with theirs already?

[Shadesome]

Ooo!!! I'm SO in!!!

[Shadesome]

Not to sound completely ignorant, but is there a due date?

[KnicKnac]

Nope, it's a Crochet Along - which means you join in when you want, and you finish it when you can. It's a scrap-ghan so it's probably going to take some people a really long time to get it done because they are waiting on scraps!

[squish_52]

mines not done yet, but getting close, although i am running out of ugly yarn!

[amyquilt]

AWH SHOOT!!! I'm a gluton (?sp) for punishment!!! Another CAL for my list of "to-do's".

 

I"m in...not sure exactly when I"ll get started...but definitely want to use up my scrap yarn...especially my luscious wools!

too much stuff to do, not enough hours to hook

[cancrochet]

Krystal, I love your flower hexagon! I made this afghan years ago, but lost it to a flood. I started another one, but it sits in my scrap basket and I don't work on it much. Just seeing all the wonderful scrap-ghans in this thread makes me want to join this CAL so I have an excuse to finish it!

 

BTW - I started my first one in 1975 and finished in 1985! It was back when I was just in my last couple years of high school and early college years, and I didn't have much money for yarn at that time, so I could only work on it sporatically. Now I have more scraps than I know what to do with, so I think I can finish this one lots sooner than it took to finish the first one!

[TamiCrochets]

hey guys i'm in ... I have an idea of what im doing but it is from a book so ill post pictures either on here or on my blog with my updates

 

Cheers

[squish_52]

i really need to get hooking on this, i haven't touched it in like a week i hate having ufos laying around...

[Breger3]

I'm IN! I have MANY scrap blankets going at the moment, I have two rectangle granny's going, one small granny square one going (based of the one in the show Roseanne) and kitty and doggy blankets for shelters. HORRAY!!!

[KellyA]

This would be my first CAL

I would love to join, I have quite a bit of stash, I was eyeballing the ghan done by Dot......ohh:manyheart

Just one more reson to watch the yarn sales...I mean a great way to reduce my scrap stash:devil

[squish_52]

i've got a picture of mine on my blog!

[Ilene]

Squish you where right, there are some very interesting colors in your giant granny. Wonderful job! My daugther and I enjoyed looking at the hats you've done, she really liked the light brown one especially. I really liked the afghan you had at the bottom of your blog, that is very pretty.

 

I hadn't done much on my second scrap ghan lately, got caught up in another project and am now at a point where I feel like I can safely work on a few others.

[squish_52]

Thanks for the comments! I love doing hats, they are my absolute favorite! once i have the crown done i can pretty much do what ever i want...the brown one was double crossed crochet...i think that's right...and i'm kinda waiting on scraps for the scrapghan...i'm hoping to have it done by Christmas

[calliope1779]

I'll join in on this one since I've already got a scrapghan WIP. I'm doing a pattern from a little Leisure Arts book -- Scrap Wraps. The one I'm doing is called "Cheerful Checks" (it's not the one on the cover). This is a great book for scrapghans, it's got five really gorgeous patterns. I picked the book up for a couple bucks at Michael's.
