scrapdash scrapdash finding my fiber in fuzz fabric and food pages home thursday january 19 2017 lightening the load i began this blog as a digital version of show n tell in the spirit of those structured fun times during elementary school when all the classroom kids gathered together and shared something cool weird or otherwise meaningful to the one standing in front of the others everyone took their turn on a blog it s always the blogger s turn it s just that the cool weird or special things being shared wait around on the blog until someone discovers them on scrapdash i lumped all the parts of my life i wanted to share because it was a convenient place i m most interested in cooking and a couple forms of crafts sewing and knitting but one or two more in depth monologs have found themselves here as well the last few years have been about thinning down the stuff yarn mostly and that effort will continue because there are miles to go yet yeah literally i guess measured in marathons along the way my interests divided from the one path into two by oddly enough my sewing and knitting combining into the creation of project bags i have sold to local knitters and crocheters for about five years now because i sold them locally and not also online i never got around to talking about them here on the blog while the paths had divided into personal and professional they ran parallel and close together now however i m working my way toward selling my wares on the interwebs it s a slowish process for me because i do everything like i m wearing velcro shoes on astroturf but it s forward motion nonetheless as a result i am moving my future knitting related and probably sewing quilting related chitchat onto my business blog jennamay made for anything else i might have to say i will keep it under the scrapdash header but i m posting all that wisdom and know how to a new scrapdash address both blogs are on wordpress a place i m hoping will help me streamline how i have to say what i say i have no plans to take down the content here on the original scrapdash blog only the new stuff will appear at the new places on jennamay made i m revealing the yarn i m giving up to make up for the deep stash half marathon s yardage deficit i m also starting the new stash marathon there disasters in the kitchen that manage to be tasty anyhow will show up in the new scrapdash site i may post more reflective stuff there too including book reviews because i can t get away from grade school exercises apparently i m also not migrating the followers list and email notifications list from here i don t know if that s possible anyway so this is an opportunity for current followers to lighten their loads if they decide not to opt in to notifications on the new sites you re welcome whether or not you follow me to the new blogs thank you for being curious about my shenanigans this far in all the antics on the internet i m grateful you have stopped by to turn an eye toward mine posted by jen in ks at 11 29 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday january 6 2017 hip to be squares so scrap yarn blankets have been all the rage for a few news cycles now but i had started one years before i knew to be cool it s made of tessellating fish and this wee single fishy is the only one i got done during the deep stash half marathon it s made of the last tiny bit of the heathered dark red berocco comfort from which i made the nicu baby hats in the last post sock yarn scrap blankets seem to be the most popular weight of cuddle wear just now i went ahead and started a blanket in this yarn weight too but instead of going for the mitered square pattern that spread faster than a stadium wave i decided to weave my blanket squares into being each square is four by four inches and was woven double stranded on a zoom loom a modern version of a pin loom made by schacht spindle company both sets of these squares are made from the leftovers of the socks i mentioned in the last post it takes about 15 grams of fingering weight yarn to make four squares and each set of four will be coupled in my blanket with another set of four as well as a single square in a different color to go in the middle of nine patch blocks i started out as a quilter after all and a nine patch block blanket is a pretty basic beautiful layout now the final object that counts toward my ds half marathon yardage is a square that is not for a scrap blanket in fact i think the term square is too demeaning it is a block dear ones a block and not one meant for a mere blanket but for an afghan that is the great american aran afghan and lest you think i m getting all pompous up in here i usually refer to this long term project by its street name gaaa i started my gaaa back in 2013 with berocco comfort yarn i bought in 2009 i add to my collection of blocks slowly this one designed by ginger smith is the sixth of how many i know not will be needed i simply cast on one when i get the yen now yardage of all these individual blanket afghan parts count toward the yardage total despite the fact the blankets afghan aren t done because once the yardage is in that fish square or block it is not coming back into the stash it s out forever even if the larger project is never completed that yardage has been cast out of the nest to make a life for itself in the cold hard world so drumroll please in your imagination yardage for this post fish 14 7 zoom loom squares 132 6 gaaa block 142 8 deep stash half marathon 2016 update total yardage from this post 290 1 dshm current yardage total 13 470 1 7 7 miles rounded up dshm yardage remaining 9 602 4 5 5 miles rounded up so i did not finish my half marathon challenge by the end of 2016 surprise surprise i did at least manage to purge a little more than a quarter marathon this means i will need to surgically remove almost ten thousand yards of yarn from the deep stash in order to honor the terms of the challenge to myself this i will do i will in an upcoming post stay tuned for that and for an announcement of my plans for 2017 posted by jen in ks at 4 46 pm no comments email
