I think you should add the colors. The pop of color goes great in scrap blankets! I don’t think you will regret it , because there is a story behind those two yarns. Love your channel 😃
I bet you would love the book series by Monica Ferris. The first one is "Crewel World". She steps into her sisters shoes and runs a needlework shop but is learning to knit . Great cozy mystery series.
Id put both of the yarns in the scrappy blanket. I love when people put in their scraps over a period of time regardless of how they 'match'. I think its cool to see how your colour choices and yarn styles evolve over that period... From solids to variegated to self striping etc depending on the trends of the time.
My daughter loves the Disney marathons. She completed the dopey challenge in January. Have fun.
I came up with my own 2x2 rib hat. My decrease is different, but you are welcome to use it. When I am ready to decrease- I P2tog all the way around the hat. I then knit K2 P1 for about an inch. I then do rapid decreases- K2tog P1 around, K 1 round plain. Then I K2tog around until I end up with 16 or fewer stiches , Then I end it. I have knitted 25 of these hats for gifts and donations since September, and they work well, and are worn happily. Feel free to use and adapt. I have a 'leftovers' suggestion. Color work hats are great fun to knit and the possibilities are endless. Hats are fantastic gifts. You can use your leftovers with a larger skein of stash to do a colorwork hat. Tin Can Knits has some great hats, and once you learn hat construction, you will never need another pattern. Trust me on that! I may have been knitting for 40+ years, I may have only knit 10 sweaters in that time, but I have knit several hundred hats! Nice, easy, portable knits that give you all kinds of opportunities for expression. If you have scraps, and nothing to do with the hats........I am sure New York has plenty of homeless shelters that can always make use of donated hats.
I would embrace the crazy scrapiness and add both the sock yarn and the yarn from Kent's hat
I would definitely use both of the leftovers you showed in my scrap blanket but I am a big fan of lots of colors 😊
I used all of my stash at one point many years ago… I was down to zero. This was when I only knew how to crochet and I was tired of making blankets. It didn’t last because then I learned how to knit! I am loving following your quest for zero stash, you are giving me lots of ideas about how to work from my own stash. Thanks!
I would definitely add the scraps from Kent’s hat and the socks.
Knitting unrelated. I just wanted to say that your skin looks amazing! I have been a follower for a while and I really enjoy your podcasts and tutorials. They have been super helpful.
If you're making a true franken Blanket ... put in EVERYTHING!!!
The squall hit us up in Maine a few hours after you. Happy knitting - love how that cardigan turned out.
Thanks so much for showing your works in progress so we can get an ides of how it looks along the way. I'm not very good,but might like to try a summer tee shirt, or light pullover sweater, made with plant based yarn. I'd like set in sleeves, if I can do them. Any ideas? Maybe just look for a book with patterns? Thanks for posting all your work.
I’m over here in Pennsylvania & the weather is the SAME exact way, warm then cold, then snowing for ten minutes, then warm now cold again 😂
I like how you have a regular stash and a scrappy stash! It's a really good idea 😁❤️
Crochet them in! It’s a scrappy project anything goes❤️
I love the scrappy yarn blanket. I’m making a scarf with my bulky scrap yarn.
I always use self striping socks in my Granny stripes blanket, the "striping" really isn't that noticeable with all the other colours in the blanket. However, one row of 300 stitches uses less than 10 grams, so you will still have a lot of yarn left. I'm saving the bigger leftover balls for a knit blanket where I'll hold 2 fingering weight balls together, and the stripes will be over several rows in varied widths.
I have three granny square blankets. 1- Queen bed size with two rows per colors, 2 - King bed size where the leftovers from the Queen end up, so the number of rows is not regular and 3 - a queen bed size with all my self-stripping yarns, with number of rows not regular.
This is a sad day in the world…. And then I come home and find your post… positive and great!!! Thank you!!
I would save the left over yarn from Kent's hat and make shorties. I think the castle at night would look great in the scrappy blanket
I'll be at Disney World next week, too! Yay! For your self-striping leftovers (Castle at Night and Kent's hat), I thought maybe you could do another Musselburgh hat that is reversible, showing off the two yarns. I've got some Star Wars-inspired Must Stash yarn that I've been thinking about doing that. I also found the Quadra Cowl pattern by Martina Behm as an option to show off the self-striping yarn.
TH-cam is funny in that now I've discovered Martina Behm has a channel because YT has posted them on the side after I posted this comment, haha! Here is a link to her video about Knitting Through Your Stash: th-cam.com/video/CwyHgGOQNHQ/w-d-xo.html
For the pink fade-set, you could make color block socks, with thin stripes of a light grey between :D Or the Stay Cozy socks by Tracie Miller :)
Thoughts on the yarn for the scrappy blanket. Add the yarn from Kent’s hat. It is yarn that has meaning to him and is a part of your yarn story. The Christmas sock yarn…maybe…it’s more of a work project….
Not that I wouldn't want it if there was indeed a giveaway but I think your leftover sea glass sweater yarn would make you a great carry-all bag 🛍️👜
I made 2 different granny stripe blanket using up scraps, and I found myself trying to manage my yarns and that is what I was trying to avoid. I just wanted to use up scraps and stay true to "scrappy" .
I would make Kent a pair of socks with the left over hat yarn.
I love watching your channel so much Natalie !! You are so bubbly and friendly - I get so excited when I see one of your videos come out 😆🥰🧶!! You should definitely put Kents hat yarn into your granny square blanket ! Kent’s hat is absolutely gorgeous 🧢 - it suits you too! 😂😘!! Your cowl is such a lovely mix of colours - it iscoming on really nicely, and I love seeing what you are making ! Thank you! 🧶❤️
"that grey" is called Aspen :)) I know because i was looking forward to see you finish that long summer cardigan
I would add the leftover yarn from Kent's hat to your scrappy blanket but maybe only a few rows then other yarns before coming back to add more. It will be pretty but I wouldn't add the whole amount at one time because it would be a much bigger color block
I started a granny stripe blanket and I had to make the decision whether or not I wanted to add in some sections of "single stripes" and I really like it, but I don't think I would add self striping yarn to it, but I would try it out and see if you like how it looks, because it's easy to take out if you don't end up liking it. :)
The sweater I gonna be beautiful. The black outline would make the " stained glass part" pop even more if it was glittery lol. Coul u make Kent a short pair of socks to match his hat? Do 5 rib and 5 to 10 rounds before heel? That would be cool and it would use up the.left over hat yarn.
Want to say that the gray in cardigan was called Aspen
Sally Goldenbaum has a knitters mystery series which I also read. I am on book 11 of Maggie Sefton
I like your stash reasoning! It’s similar to how I manage my yarn as well. In my head it’s labeled as stash OR scrap. I used to think of scrap as the tiniest pieces left, but now if it’s been used it becomes a scrap and out of the stash!
Natalie you are a joy to watch and I continue to learn even as a semi retired late bloomer with my knitting and crochet !!!
Natalie, I’m so excited for your vision of future classes!! It’s a brilliant plan! I look forward to seeing you carry it out and also look forward to participating!
I think I might be a little late but no, I wouldn't add the 2 yarns to the blanket if it were me. I'd tend to stick with colors that look more harmonious together. But of course if your goal is to use any scraps then.. you do your thing, right 😄
You should watch “book jail” and “balancing the books” videos by drinking by my shelf. She did something similar with her bookstash as you are doing with your yarn stash. I would love to see something similar with yarn instead of books.
Hi Nathalie,i love the hat and i would add the letter yarn on the blanket.
Hi friends, I would add the Kent hat yarn, because like you said it tells a story. I used all my scraps of worsted weight yarns making a giant granny square blanket. Some of my scraps were about 10 years old. I don't really remember what the yarn was used for but it's a cozy warm blanket now. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
I use a tubular cast on every time I am doing a 2x2 rib
I love how your sweater turned out! Gorgeous!!.
My grandma sent me a box of her yarn scraps. I love it so much. I wish everyone would send me their leftovers! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would put them both in but space them out so they give a pop of color.
I am doing my first colorwork hat. I realized I had a row wrong about 4 or 5 rows back. I just went to bed and then was gone all day today. I guess I will have to deal with it tomorrow. I feel your pain!
Have you seen the hat pattern “Full of Minis” by Barbara Nalewko?
I wonder if you have enough leftover yarn from your Moonglow Advent set to knit the hat.
It looks like a fun and cozy hat pattern with the multicolored layers of yarn. 🧶😊
The Yarn from fangirls is called fairytale.
Im very new to knitting but I am going to try to knit a socks. Wish me lots of luck. Especially since I may or may not follow directions well. 😏
I always add my leftovers to my blanket because to me its not so much about the look as it is the memories.
yes use the leftovers
Have a great time on your vacation!
Love your projects! I am starting a knitting mystery, so fun to read
You should make Kent matching socks
I really am enjoying watching your de-stash/minimalism process! I have always been the person who hated having clutter and "stuff" around. Every time I see you questioning to keep or get rid of some yarn or notions I am just like "Donate it, donate it, donate it!" Haha, so just know you have a minimalism cheerleader over here. :P
Local art teachers are frequently happy to receive donations for their projects.
No, I don't think I'd put either of those in it.I think you said you had enough for socks for the String Things one so I'd do that.
Yes, I would put those 2 yarns in the blanket. I think it would be interesting to see what they look like.
Hello from icy Mounds Illinois.
Use both colors for the granny stripe! You can always wait to put one color next to a more complimenting color later.
Toaster is nice and toasty ;-) I love that cardigan!
You should be proud. I am really enjoying you! Glad I found you this year! We are on the same stash journey. I started last fall, now I feel like someone is on this journey with someone! Our cubes are about the same stash look. Lol
Me too. But I sometimes find it hard with Instagram and all the amazing yarn around 🙈
I’m also making a scrappy granny stripe blanket, but I’ve decided to leave out any self striping yarn because I think they just don’t look good in the pattern. So I’d say to leave those two out, but just my opinion! I’m excited to see how your Prismatic Sweater turns out. Love the colors.
Regarding your Granny Stripe blanket, I think you answered your own question when you said that you don't like how self striping looks in the project. 🤔
You should do a rainbow infinity scarf with your moon glow advent yarn. Kay at Crazy sock lady did one with the same yarn and it turned out so pretty. Just an idea. 😊
I don’t think I’d put either of those yarns in the blanket. The one you used for Kent’s hat would be useful for socks further down the line maybe for Kent. I love how your long cardigan turned out I love mine too. Stay safe love and hugs xx
Hi. Working on my yarn cozy lites. I think it’s ok to use the striped yarn leftovers in your granny stripe blanket, but not close together. Can you use your Sea Glass leftovers for it as well?
Hey, Natalie!! I have a silly question, quasi-suggestion: have you tried the 1x1/2x2 ribbed cable cast-on? It looks incredible, I'd dare say even better than tubular cast-on and not only that: it's more stable and doesn't require set-up rounds: you do it, join in the round and start knitting! It's my absolute favorite for socks and hats, since the rim of a hat stays so close to the eyebrows I find it imperative it looks good and polished. It's got all the pros, really, and the only con I could think of is that because each individual stitch is knitted or purled, it might take it a bit longer to do (though last time I used it, I cast ~160 stitches and it took maybe 40-60min, while I was pretty engaged watching TV)
Thanks for this podcast. I’m working through my stash too. I’m looking for a summer tee that just uses sock yarn, no mohair. What do you suggest? Also, safe travels and best of luck on the half marathon!
I’ve been planning to do the prismatic for a while now, but I’m having the hardest time finding the right CC1 😅 I just can’t make decisions 🤷🏻♀️
Hello Natalie. Do you have a pattern and needle size for your scrappy granny square blanket please. Ken
They’re both nice but I wouldn’t add them because even though it’s scrappy, I don’t think they match the “vibe” of the blanket
Is the Fish Lip Kiss heel the same as the Shadow Wrap heel?
Natalie, I would say not to use either of those yarns in your blanket. The colors to me just don't go.
Do the knitting murder mysteries have audio books?
How do you know if you made it into this session of the sock course?
I would not put either of those remnants into the granny personally.
I would not add the variegated yarn- it kinda just feels weird
No no no both of those scrapes will stand out like a sore toe you will end up ripping them out colors to neon and intense just my opinion based on same mistake in a pr of scrappy socks love watching your journey
Ok, I’m sure you’ve answered this before, but how did Toaster get his name?😃
50g is a whole nother project... honestly I wouldn't add it being that much...
Love your podcast. Your stash analysis stressed me out a bit!
Have you thought about doing a Collab with Fiber Flux?
tramti para português. Brasil
So enjoy hearing your process! Your rules and exceptions remind me of myself so much. #enneagram1 🤣
Natalie, I would say not to use either of those yarns in your blanket. The colors to me just don't go.
