What is a scrap-a-long?
Well, if you’ve heard of a knitalong, a crochetalong, or a craftalong, a SCRAP-A-LONG is my version of a knitalong that is primarily focused on using up all of our pesky scraps, half-skeins, quarter skeins, project leftovers… and making them into a great new garment!
How do you join?
This year’s #scrapalong2021 will begin on September 12th! The first week will consist of learning about how to mix and match scraps and doing some scrap collection, so you are welcome to start that at any time! The scrapalong takes place over five weeks (including the first week of getting prepared), but you are welcome to work at whatever pace works for you! All of the instructional videos are already up on my IGTV channel, with transcriptions available for each video as well. While you’ll need to be posting and knitting during the 5 weeks of the scrapalong to be eligible for the giveaways/prizes, you do NOT need to be finished in the final week to be eligible (so you can work at your own pace). You just need to post your WIP with the #scrapalong2021 hashtag!
What now?
While we’re waiting to start, you can begin to collect all your scraps together. You can also head to my IGTV channel to watch Week One’s video which gives a breakdown of how to mix yarn weights to create a scrap sweater.
