ScrapHappy Afghan part 2

Hi everyone! It's time for ScrapHappy Day!


It's been really satisfying to work on this project and I'm really happy to announce that I've made it through one color pass!

Here's where I was last time:


And here's where I am now:


I'm also thrilled that I actually finished up one of the colors! One down, 14 to go...

Here's an odd thing -- I might be running low on the black yarn that I am using as the "lead" between the greys. I wonder if I'll have to buy more yarn to finish this scrap piece?!?!? I think that's okay. There might even be some deep down in the stash, and I promise to look there first.

I have decided, however, that any leftover yarn will be donated and out of my house. Of course, that's a loooong way from now.

ScrapHappy Day is organized by Kate and Gun, so if you're interested in participating please see their blogs. And my fellow ScrapHappy Stitchers are super creative, visit their blogs to see how they're using up some of their scraps.

Kate, Gun, Titti, Heléne, Eva, Sue, Nanette, Lynn, Lynda, Birthe, Turid, Susan, Cathy, Debbierose, Tracy, Jill, Claire, Jan, Moira, Sandra, Linda, Chris, Nancy, Alys, Kerry, Claire, Jean, Joanne, Jon, Hayley, Dawn, Gwen, Connie, Bekki, Pauline, and Sue L.

Our next check in is on March 15; I hope to be halfway through another color pass by then!

  1. I think it's perfectly OK to use new stuff in order to *finish* a scrappy project! I love the subtle shading of the greys you have going on, it's going to be a very sophisticated effect.

    1. Thanks Kate! I think this next pass-through of the grays will use up a few more colors, which is exciting. Of course, the color I have the most of is white, so it might get a little boring at the end!

    1. Thanks Jean! It's not quite so subtle in real life -- I just can't get the phone camera to show the real range. But I do think it's pretty!
