The joys of scrap yarn!!!!!! I love the scraps since I discovered scrap projects. Before this I had no idea what to do with my stash of scraps.
These blankets are gorgeous! What absolute treasure that you’ve created 🤩
My great grandmother always said that a home can never have to many blankets, especially homemade ones cuz they are full of love.
I completely agree!! Your grandma was a smart lady! 🥰🥰🥰
I can completely relate 😂. Funny, but not funny that I ran across this video today because I saw a guy (while I was getting a Starbucks in the drive through) laying on the ground in front of a closed office shivering trying to get his coat wrapped around himself (very cold here yesterday near Old Town Fort Collins, Colorado) and while I was waiting for my coffee I suddenly thought…I need to make some blankets and keep them in my car to give out and pay more attention to what’s happening around me (a couple of homeless shelters around) I felt so bad for him….this is what I’ll do with all my yarn that I’ve had for years starting this tonight thanks for inspiring me. So sorry if I seem like a babbling crazy person 😂
I just have to comment! I know you made this video three years ago but I’ve just recently started watching you maybe two months ago! I have a ton of yarn also and I’ve been crocheting since I was 18 years old and I’m now 78 years old. Thanks again, God bless you!!❤
Thank you so much!! Wow!! You've been crocheting a lot longer than me, and its getting harder and harder to find people to say that about! 😊😊😊😊
A lot of them look big enough to be done already!
Just slaw you, Ginger…love this video, as I also have a room full of cubbies full of yarn, and a closet that has shelving on bth sides a full f yarn…I’m old, lol, and worried I won’t get to use my beautiful yarn…, so I haven’ attacked much of my scrap balls….i have 12 grands and 3 great grands from FOUR sons…you will have a really large crew eventually with 7 kids! Made 25 afghans last Christmas, and “wrapped” them in white kitchen trash bags..with big red 🤣😁
Whenever she looks at the camera with a deadpan face and says “I have so much yarn” I feel that with every inch of my soul
Aww, rewatched this this morning. Look how far you've come. 💞
Beautiful video! So happy to know you! I see myself in you.💗
Your blankets are absolutely amazing And I am so in love with your T. shirt
Good for you. You should set a time to crochet every day. I set an alarm. It helps. And try a sampler scrap blanket. Different stiches in the blanket. 😊 I did a scrapgan purse for my granddaughter and myself. Your doing great. We appreciate you.
Love the shirt!
It’s 2023 first time I ever watch your videos and I start one project then get a idea for another all the time it hard to first when I do I don’t want to give it away cuz I love making blankets more then anything else
They're so pretty
I think you could give some of your blankets to people who are sick. Because they are like getting hugs 🫂 🤗
These are so gorgeous! Everyone who receives these, your coworkers, your grand daughter, your children should feel so lucky. The amount of time and love you put into these really shines through. Thank you for uploading this video, you've inspired me to make my own 2-3 strand scrap blanket ❤
Thank god I found this video! That green and blue blanket is BEAUTIFUL!
I cannot imagine ever having this much yarn or having enough room to store it; worked or waiting in the wings.
Good for you!
Yes it was fun seeing all your scrapgans
I learned to take a picture of my projects and donate them. That way I am able to give the blanket away and still keep it
Best scrapghan video ever. So much inspiration here. I watch that his video all the time.
I love your scrap blankets .I thought I was the only one that has a big family. I'm 51 10 children & 10 grandchildren. I started young like 15 but I'm glad I did cause I'm enjoying life at my age lol
That's awesome! Isn't it great having a big family?! I know what you mean. At 50 I'm finally having more free time than I've had for the last 30 years! 😂😊💕
Just found your videos and truly enjoy them. You can always donate your afghans to a woman's shelter, veterans shelters, or Section 8 housing where unwed young mothers live. Keep up the great work.
Also to Pine Ridge South Dakota for our Native Americans
I love you Sugar. I love when this original hits my feed. I'm so proud of you baby. Keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wooooooow! You r a natural❤….enjoyable and I trusted u immediately! So I’m gonna go look t ur channel,,,,
You have inspired me! I now sit in a mountain of scraps so that I can start me firts scrappyghan ❤️!! Thank you so much!!
These are fantastic! I have noticed that these random colored scrapghans are actually prettier than the over- planned ones. And yes. It totally relate and look forward to seeing more from a new Yarny friend. It’s great 👏🏻💕👏🏻
How do you wash your large projects like those blankets?
Your scrapghans are amazing. Now I know what to do with my scrap yarn. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me. Looking forward to your next video.
Gina/Yarn Geek, I am going to be doing the same thing as you! When I move back home to Michigan! I've got SEVERAL boxes of yarn deliveries for aphgan projects. I'm a guy, 58 years young, and, have been crocheting since I was 5 years old. I'm in the process of designing a "grampa squares" aphgan. I'm left handed-crocheting left to right, backwards. I need to get the Chevron stitch down properly, the double crochet stitch, the granny stripe/chain stitch. I'm proud to be crocheting as a craft-yes soothing, relaxing, tension relieving, and, very peaceful to do. Doug, a fellow crocheter(lefty style)!👍🤓🧸🧶
I binge watch 1 favorite crocheter each weekend and today and Sunday I’ll be watching all your videos while I crochet from beginning to end like a Netflix series 🤷🏽♀️🧶🤣😂❤️❤️😉
Love this!
That is awesome! I should try that!
Goodness me that's a lot of wool, beautiful blankets. I could watch this video over and over again. I too love wool😊❤
I’ve just watched a couple of your videos, and thank God I found your channel. I would call myself crochet chaos! When you said “wips”. I didn’t feel so crazy! Because I thought it was just me lol! But loved the couple of videos that I watched and Ive subscribed and now I’m gonna go veg out and watch a bunch. Thanks!!!✝️✝️✝️
I relate I have lots of yarn to ❤
These are unique projects.
Bravissimo ❤
Oh my goodness, another honest TH-camr!!! I watched the interview with BOD and decided to describe… and it recommended this video!!! XOXO
Hi Kelli! Yay!! I’m so glad you’re here! 🎉🥰
I know just where you're coming from! I've got favourite wools and loads that I haven't used in years. I feel bad, like you, if I buy new wool without using up the old. Loved your video.
Hello fellow crocheter! Love that first scrap-afghan! With the black and the purple/mauve. Ohh,..that big one is beautiful!!! Now is this a single #4 yarn that you do these wip's? I just finished a big scrap-basket made from 4 strands of #4 weight yarn using a 8mm hook. It's a real hand/finger workout because when doing the basket...I crochet real tight (HDC) for my rows to make the basket sturdier/stiffer. Right now it's holding all of my scrap balls of yarn for future scrap projects. Anyone honored with one of your scrap-ghans is truly blessed! That red one is really striking! Have you every gone to thrift stores to find deals on yarn? I just bought a big 'trash bag' of yarn at my local thrift store for $15....it held 6 full skeins of Red Heart yarn and five more without labels...and all kinds of assorted bundles of yarn-probably 10lbs of yarn! Keep on crocheting!
All of them are so pretty!
Omgness ..I'm in love with all your amazing beautiful blankets your done .and I'm loving every colour ..great work and im gathering all my scraps big and small ..keep going
I can't even decide which blanket I like best, each one is totally gorgeous 😍
I have just watched your 1st video. Funny I finished another scrap blanket today. I save my snippets of yarn for stuffing. Very little goes to waste. I enjoy watching and will look for more.
You are making beautiful creations with your talents.
One of your 1st videos! I love it. You did great!!!
Great way to use tiny scraps.
I love all your your blankets
What An Assortment, Ginger! 👏👍🤗 Especially Liked your Christmas version! ♥️🎄💚 🧶 Therese Pisarcik
You have an adorable personality. My husband tells me I have a lot of yarn. I have a full under-bed storage tote and could probably fill another one. I should show him the, I'm assuming, small portion of what is view actually is so much more! Maybe he will stop telling me 'no more yarn'. I'm loving your WIP's. The ocean theme one was my favorite. Great job for a first video. I subbed and look forward to watching more of your fun content and personality.
Those are beautiful blankets and I bet they would help a lot of people that have been hurt by tornadoes or flooding that’s going on in our world, not only would it give them warmth but s good feeling that someone took time to make them something from the heart.
O Yes … I’m Making Blanket’s Too & it’s Granny’s Blanket’s & I’m Making 7 Blanket’s & For All My Kid’s … it’s Magnificent Pattern’s … Yes … I love Crocheting 🧶 … Amen 🙏❤️🧶
I love crocheting something useful with scraps!!! Looks like you do too!
Hard to be,I’ve this was your first video. You are a natural. I can’t decide which of your blankets are my favorite. I love them all.
I wish I could put colors together well. Even a scap blanket would have me perplexed. I lack this skill. Yours all look so planned out and perfect.
Hi ginger. You weren't kidding when you said you have so much yarn. That is A LOT of scrap yarn and they all look fantastic. They certainly looked like you planned them that way. Absolutely awesome ginger. 😃🇦🇺💙
Thank-you! Yeah, it's crazy when you have so much scrap yarn that you can actually color coordinate several blankets. 😂😂😂
I was watching a movie, whilst crocheting (as you do) and needed to see something in the pattern I was doing for my rug, and found your video. Well, I have to say your video is way more fun and interesting than what I was watching! 🤣. You're so inspiring, a crack up, and I love your many many various rugs! The light colour you don't like in one of your rugs looks nice for some contrast. You're amazing, fun, and talented. Thank you for showing me/us your video. Nice phone video work too 😉. Back to my rug, which is now going to be slightly different after this lol 😂. I should be doing my art, but crocheting seems to be my thing at the moment. Hug from Tasmania 💕
I watched your video one year ago. It’s been a year and I’ve made a twin size and queen size scrapgan! The twin is for my niece just off to college. It’s her Christmas present here in a few days!!! Three strands held together. Black runs through the whole thing, the colors are sort of rainbow ombré.
I would have a hard time giving them away too but you can only have storage for so many. I'm sure your children will be so grateful to have an heirloom you have made.
So true! Thanks, Roxey 🥰
You have given me some new ideas!! Not only use up my stash but an excuse to buy more yarn, Yay!!
You did pretty great for first timer. Wish I was that brave. 😊
I have made several scrapghans. I have only kept the one I made for my husband before he passed away.
Great job! Keep making videos and getting comfortable with your audience. I think you’re a natural. I like making scrap-throws. They’re usually heavier than a regular throw so they feel nice over your lap or while you’re curled up on the couch.
You crack me up and I think you are a great lady. I love your blankets which resemble braided rugs to me. I have a huge bunch of sparkle yarn and after watching you that’s my first blanket. Thank you
Your blankets are so beautiful!! I have a lot of yarn - both full skeins and balls of scrap yarn. I stopped crocheting about two years ago because I just kinda got bored with it, which I never thought would happen. You have given me back my love of crocheting because now I want to make these beautiful colored blankets like you make!! Thank you and God bless you!
I'd love to see more of your crochet it is sooo much fun with all of your beutfiul creations. I like watching while I crochet too
This just popped up in my feed! Ginger, you've come a long way, babe! Those scrappy afghans are pretty!! Love your channel!!
I enjoyed your video very much and am enjoying your channel (just found you)! You have inspired me to crochet some scrapghans! Thank you for all the great color coordination ideas! Beautiful work! 🧶💕 I, too, have been crocheting since I was 10 years old! I just turned 60! 😳☺️
You remind me of me. I love a scrap blanket, scrap bags scrap hats scrap chair pads, ect ect. Love new yarn, but still love the old. I have to restrain myself. 6 sons and grandkids, always scrap yarn in my house.I have 6 grandkids, so its never ending.Thank you for sharing
Just realized this is an older post. Enjoyed seeing all your blankets. I like your enthusiasm. Nice to meet you Ginger. 🧶
After watching this video I started my first scrapghan...and it is beautiful! I'm using gray throughout with all pinks and blues. It looks like a sunset! Thanks for this great video!
Some look like great knitted sweaters. So beautiful!! I wish I were a co worker, I would gladly accept one of your beautiful blankets :)
I agree your blankets are beautiful. I mean really beautiful! I hope you are able to finish them. I am the same way about starting getting excited at first but not finishing. Blessings to you and yours!
I’ve made scrap afghans and ( not telling ya what to do) but I start with 15-20 leftovers and make one row per color and just keep going with those colors until I run out or get each color down to “ nothing “ ,drop that color and just keep going. The small pieces can go into your tiny pile for something else. I’m making 15 inch squares out of yarn I didn’t like and I will add colors along the way as I run out .😂😂
If you’re up to it, double your yarn with a solid ( black?) and larger hook and that really helps BUT makes an ugly heavy blanket ( quilt,floor cover )😂. Good job and good luck .🍀
I really need to do these this fall. They will be great for the homeless shelter very warm
My 4yo daughter is watching with me and says "She has such a pretty face!"
Oh, my! you are a genious with those color combinations! Your work is so beautiful!
Awesome!!! I love to crochet as well and I feel you on all your yarn I love to buy yarn and can’t wait to start new projects. I started crocheting at 11- 23:55 12 yrs old I’m 60 yrs now people used to call me an old lady and now they ask me if I can teach them how to crochet. Keep up the Awesome and BEAUTIFUL work my friend!!! 🥰
Love everyone of your blankets!! They are gorgeous!!! You have really motivated me to get into my bins of yarns and make some blankets just like this!! Thx so much for sharing!! I wish you were my next door neighbor!! Lol
I did a search for scrap blankets and found this video. Loved watching, so subscribed.
My favourite was the "This is not my favourite" blanket :-)
Same!
I absolutely love your scrapgans. They are so beautiful. I’m sure they will be cherished.
Thanks! I've given 5 or 6 of them away to family since that video, but I think that I've started just as many more! Lol!
I need more scrap yarn!!!! I love these
Hello!! I just found you today 10 17 2021 Sunday LOL!! I am going to go to the beginning and watch you while i crochet!! I do that each Sunday and Monday - watch 1 of my favorite crochet channels. I love making scrap ghans - i have been making them for years family and friends love them!! Also like you i use small pieces also! They are all so beautiful and warm!!
I really love your idea of using black and grey with the other colors to make beautiful afghans. I am using this idea. Yes I am a yard lover( hoarder, as my kids tell me)💜💜💜💜
Your blankets are gorgeous! Who would have thought black would look so fantastic paired with other colors of yarn. I love that idea!!!!
Thank-you Sparkle😄! I didn't know either until I tried it!
You are so precious! You are a gift to the universe. I love your creativity.
You’ve given me, and I’m sure so many others, encouragement and the yin to keep on crocheting. Waste not want not! 😁
Love your blankets. Beautiful! I need to get more organizesd. I am impressed.
I just discovered this video because I started making scrap blankets. Your blankets are beautiful!! I can’t believe this was your first video, glad to have found you!
I can relate that's why I have 20 wips and every day I look my new yarn and think about new projects 😂
You make me feel soooo GOOOD!! LOL I have only a small amount of yarn in comparison. BUT I do have 5 ripple afgans in process and need to complete them. I also try to make quick projects like beanies and scarves. Great video! And remember!!! Every person in the audience is REAL and we are just online 'neighbors'. LOL I watch Jean Truelove and she does Quilting! All crafters are our true friends because we share a fun passion for the crafts we do! Keep going with the videos. Good job!
I'm new to this, you're doing better than I am, I have 2 scrap blankets, dishcloths
Gosh, you're like a machine turning out all those blankets. Good on you. You're a blessing.
Your blankets are beautiful. I actually made hats for some folks this past Christmas and I had combined colors and thought they turned out pretty nice. It’s now 2023 and am just finding you. I love Bag O Day!
Thank you for sharing, had a rough week and seeing all your colorful cozy blankets cheered me up a little. Bless you.
Love all those blankets. Take care
Your blankets are beautiful. I want to take a nap at your house.
Kathleen! You have made me so happy!!😂🥰
I love the way they turned out!! I’m gonna have to make 1, or 2 or 10!!! ❤️😀🤣
I am watching this video! Just start is what you are inspiring me to pick up my hooks, needles and yarns! I can create hats just to give away. I hope you were able to destash and are still crocheting 3 years later. Thanks! 💜💜
I really enjoy watching you. You give really good ideas. I can be very unorganized and I feel you have helped me by this video. Thank you.💖💕🦋
What a fantastic idea!
I love them all!💟 Great way to use up left over yarn. I love scrap blankets!!! These make great lap blankets to keep you warm while watching tv on the couch.😀
I stumbled across your video tonight while I am working on knitting up a cardigan and I love the way you're just basically inviting me in to show me all your projects. The excitement you feel shows in your face, and that makes me smile. I haven't posted crafty videos to YT before, but I imagine if I did they'd look like this: Fun, honest and endearing. Subscribed tonight and am looking forward to catching up on your content!
