Scrumbles

Ok… what the heck is that you may ask?

Well I am not entirely sure myself, but from what I have read its a form of free-form crochet that is joined to make— *something*.

To give myself something to do I’ve joined a tiny ring on Ravelry lead by Maven and we’ve started a scrumble ring.  Silly me forgot to take a picture of my scrumble before I stuck it in the mailbox this morning….but I promise I’ll take pictures of everyone elses before I send them on as well as my little scrumble that should be all grown by the time it gets back to me in about five to six weeks.

Basically, we add on whatever yarn/pattern to someone elses to make whatever comes out of it. 

Anyway,  I am also workin on that blanket.  Its crochet because thats all I really know how to do.  I can’t knit…I am not bi-crafty in that sense even though I know how to sew and cross-stitch as well.  I’ve been reading on Ravelry about spinning and that looks like it could be fun to learn…but first I want to learn the needle craft!!!  It does seem slower than crochet but I am guessin that is because I am really good at crochet and know nothing of needles.  Maybe the better you get the faster it goes?  I dunno.

Anyway, I was asked where I got my Bernat Soy yarn.  I had to go online to buy it cause 1) the car is 25 minutes away during most of the day so I can’t go anywhere and 2)I have never seen more than the baby yarn from Bernat in any store we’ve been to here (Hobby Lobby and Michaels— I should probably check JoAnn’s but thats right next to the book store sooooo it would definatly have to be a “we’ve got some extra cash” trip).   So anyway, I went to Bernat’s site and they directed me to Mary Maxim U.S.

Anyway–for now that is enough on my Hooker* Yarnie self. 

 Ohh …and on things I want to learn…I forgot about Tunisian (or Afghan) Crochet!!!

*”Hooker” in terms that I am not a knitter–for the hook used in Crochet.  However, simple use of this word should bring some interesting hits from our friend “google”.
