I used to sew A LOT. And therefore have a ridiculous amount of scraps that are long and thin. They are the right size to quilt with, truly. But why let perfectly good fabric be turned into a blanket? Especially when you can spin it.
This is part of the pile I started with:
I spun it up on a core of pencil roving
And then knitted it straight off the bobbin into this lovely scrap happy scarf! It's a drop stitch scarf, with one row of single dropped stitches, and a row of double dropped stitches.
It's actually quite comfy and warm, despite some of the more coarse fabrics I did put in there, including the stuff you cover ironing boards with! It's a little wacky, but so very fun! I entered it in the
Craftster RRR challenge, and voting takes place until the 20th! Have a look at the other fabulous entries, and give the one you think deserves to win a vote if you are a member! ( And if you so happen to think my scarf does, well then all the better for me :D)
