Whats a scrumble?

[Shellybrook]

I was reading a thread last week and someone mentioned they were addicted to scrumbles....Whats a scrumble?

a scrumble is what they call the creation of freeform crochet... scrumbling!

 

Here are some examples:

From what I understand (I haven't clicked on that link above yet, so I could be wrong), a scrumble is a bunch of small crocheted/knitted pieces, in any shape and/or size, put together.

 

A lot of people use these "scrumbles" to make bigger projects. I've seen scarves and purses/bags made out of them. I haven't seen it yet (although I'm pretty sure somebody somewhere has probably done this already), but I would think that you could use a "scrumble" as a smaller piece of a larger wearable (like on a sweater, for example... as a focal point).

Wow, what an explosion of colors and textures! I really like some of those. Thanks for the link.

Yes that was a spectacular link. Looks like something I could really get into. I'm not one for patterns, and have already added my own innovative stitches when I see fit. I could really dig a scrumble. Thanks for the link!

Wow, you learn something new every day! Thanks for sharing the link, I would have never guessed what a scrumble was. They are quite interesting.

I had gone to CGOA conference 3 years ago and learned the fine art of scrubbling. It is so neat all the projects that can be done by making many, many scrubbles and sewing them together. You can add so much texture, color, and excitement to a piece. And it is a way to use many kinds of scraps in a way that is useful. I have seen handbag flaps that are just loaded with scrubbles. It makes it very interesting and fun. There are books about freeform that can give you some ideas on how to do it. The best thing is to have fun and use your imagination.

 

Good luck.
