Year Of Scraps

Well, I know it hasn't been a full year, but I'm ending my year of scraps for 2012 and will start fresh and new in 2013!

Even though December isn't completely over yet. I know I wont have any more scraps. I'm working on one project only, a scarf made out of 1 skein of yarn. No scraps until the end.





I then went out and bought my suet bird feeders!



And stuffed them both full of my scrap yarn. I cannot wait until the spring when I can put these outside and watch the little birdies grab what they want for their nests.

Year Of Scraps

I have been forgetting to post November's jar for my year of scraps! Let's see how it is this month.

Year of Scraps!

I was late on Septembers year of scraps, and now here I am late on Octobers as well! So, how much was added this month, to be honest... not much.

Year of Scraps!

I just realized that I never took a picture of my September yarn!! Does the jar look a little different? That's because it finally got too full for my little 1 quart jar and I switched it over to the 2 quart one. I just hope this 2 quart jar holds up till the end of the "year".

Are you excited to see my August yarn!? I'm still trying to debate on where to put this yarn when this jar gets too small. I'll be shocked if it lasts me 6 months. I can't help it if I like long tails so I know that things are tucked in properly!



The big puff of pink is from when I made the newborn bunny tail! That pom pom needed a lot of trimming, and I trimmed it all into the jar.

Year Of Scraps!

Back in the end of May I decided to start collecting all of my yarn scraps, so see what a years worth of yarn would look like.

2 full months later, and 1 oz of yarn. This is my current jar!



2 months!!! This jar is never going to make it a whole year.

And thanks to pinterest, I know exactly what i'm going to do with the yarn come the spring! Which, I'll probably restart this before the end of May due to this reason.



This is such a great idea, and i'll probably have enough yarn to fill 2 or 3 of these to place at my house, my brothers and my parents house.

WIPW: Work-In-Progress Wednesday

I did not get a lot of crocheting done this week. I was busy helping a friend plan a 30th birthday party for her boyfriend, Fathers Day we spent the whole day out, then on Monday I spent most of my time finishing up 50 Shades Freed.

However, I did get a few rows on my afghan completed!



I also finished sewing on the rest of the granny squares I have from friends and family members. This is all I have right now, and I hope some family members can give me a square or two soon.




And here is my Year Of Scraps project for June {Month #2}! My yarn weighs .50 oz!



Boy, you can't tell what i've mainly been working on, can you?? ;)



I am linking this bad boy up over at Tami's WIP, Ambassador Crochet, Yarn Along, and SusanD's.

You can link up with me if you want!

A Year Of Scraps!

I have seen this done in a few places recently, and decided i'd give it a try! What will a year of yarn scraps look like, and how much will it weigh?

We start with an empty jar. It actually wasn't that empty when I went to grab it. My dear husband decided it would be funny to drink his water out of it last night for dinner. Silly man. I have foiled your plan and have a new use for this mason jar! It weighs 15.8 ounces. This will come in handy when I weigh it in the future.


I decided to grab the project I am currently working on, and I finally sewed in all of the edges and cut the scraps! Now, my jar looks like this:

With .15 oz of yarn in it! I think this will be a fun little experiment.
