Scrap Along 2025

Welcome to the first day of Scrap Along 2025! 🥳

It’s an opportunity for yarn crafters of all kinds—crochet, embroidery, felting, knitting, latch hook, macrame, nalbinding, needlepoint, tatting, weaving, and any I missed—to create with leftover yarn and share their scrappy gorgeousness online.

Tag your posts with #ScrapAlong2025. If you can, tag the dyer and/or LYS that sold it. Please use alt tags on your images.

In conclusion… “These are little scraps of magic & when you paste them together you get a memory of something fine & strong, she said. Sometimes it takes till you’re 40 to see it though.” – Brian Andreas

a video i saw said yarnspirations has rights to the latchhook brand Wonderart so their supplies are now on their website. dunno if that's a legal thing as to why a michaels store doesn't carry it anymore or not. kinda wild cos i've seen latchhook on the rise lately as people are discovering it for the first time

bruh.

the absolute FUCKING shade.. of michaels

i cannot believe they pulled a tumblr 'welcome home traitors' to the twitter/insta/reddit refugees shit.

and it's WILD for them to say the have the essentials like gorl if u had the essentials.. people would've shopped at ur store rather than joann LOL do u have fabric? do u have the wide selection of yarn? do u have have baking products? embroidery? cricut supplies and accessories? likely a bit of most of that but no where near the scale that joann had.

their boldness in this 'marketing' is crazy lol (and not necessarily in a positive way for me bc these CEO's keep throwing shade like this thinking it's a flex, esp in this very serious situation to people's indie businesses that are in jeopardy now in many ways is not really it for me. this gives me ick from michaels and makes me not want to support them but they're the only yarn shop we have nearby now so.. i've heard they're ALSO not in an amazing position so it's even more wild to be like 'hah stick it joann'. we should not be celebrating the loss of such a resource anyway. we're probably about to lose a lot more brick and mortar shops barely hanging on.

another example of companies 'flexing' is i've seen at least two companies making shady 'hiring now' signs as if people are lazy, don't want to work and they're not just actively denying eligible people either to letting robots filter out what doesn't perfectly match their impossible criteria or they're putting fake job listings up to prevent people from actually being able to get jobs so they can continue going 'well people just don't wanna work we're not able to hire people cos they're not putting in applications'. sick of CEOs thinkin they're clever when they're actual ghouls)

scrolling through pinterest for my next project as if i don't have three unfinished projects of different kinds of crafts that i work on in a cycle per my mood

[altruistic-meme]

someone stop me before i get it into my head that trying to crochet a granny square blanket is a good idea

[aspiringhorrorauthor]

My toxic textile artist trait is thinking I can take up and be just as good at any craft I see made in a video online

[vamp-rin]

after about a week of work, i proudly present...

doll rowan!!

i made him completely by hand, and crocheted the doll base, his clothes, and latchhooked his hair (which took AAAGES). i also added some beads for the cuffs in his locs, although i haven't found a good way to keep them in, so he only has a couple for now :)))) i will also be crocheting his iconic red shirt once i get around to it.

also a bonus of him taking a nap under my mlp covers :P he deserves a little sleep, poor guy. unfortunately i have the camera quality of a brick, so these are the best photos i could get. do know that he is loved and taken care of in my hands!!!

@bluewoolf i hope this is enough of art to tag you in!!!

well its why i didnt leave my first relationship, just when i got knocked up and was horrified to start a family with her i did

How did you become the god(dess) of wind?

Did you just pop out the womb with clouds for hair?

Were you given your domain?

Did you just ask Zeus for a job one day?

hi ml <3 i missed you :3 and yea i did pop out with blue skin and cloud hair and whenever i cried the winds picked up and when i was calmed down they would calm and they continued to reflect my emotions until i learned to control them, i got full control of the winds around 22 which is why im perma 22, and thats why zeus liked me so much bc we were both weather gods and he cares for everyone but his children :D

Scrap Along 2025

Hello. Scrap Along 2025 begins later this week on Friday, February 14, and runs 30 days through the Ides of March (March 15). Just make something from leftover yarn and post it on social media with the tag #ScrapAlong2025

The idea for this grew out of comments left back and forth with Hidden Pond Yarns when I posted about being inspired by knitters to make a scrappy Musselburgh hat. Katya in turn is inspired to try scrappy knitting herself, and it reminded me of how much of my life is the result of other people's participation.

Right now, of course, a lot of people have the urgent, immediate need to piece their lives back together from what's left of family, friends, jobs, home, food, healthcare, their very identities. It makes the idea of a spontaneous project that's one of a kind and absolutely gorgeous as much an act of defiance as it is community and creativity.

If you use yarn to crochet, embroider, felt (I made a list) knit, latch hook, macrame, nalbind, needlepoint, tat, weave, and any other yarn craft I left out, you can scrap along.

Post your results and progress with the tag #ScrapAlong2025. Tag the dyer if you can, and the yarn shop where you made the purchase. They should know we're using their yarn. Add alt tags to your photos. It's important for accessibility and searching.

But most of all, have a great time.

Thanks.

I'm currently working on a latch hook project. I haven't done latch hook in years, but I went to Joann to check out the closing sales and saw this one and decided to get it. I'm going to try to complete one square a day so hopefully it goes fast!

posting a gift wip since I know my siblings aren't on here haha

I cannot recommend having little old lady friends highly enough. Just last night in latchhook class, one of them was telling us how her sister smuggled her MiL's ashes in her bra to scatter at Walt Disney World.
