Well I organized my yarn yesterday and found I have way to much scrap yarn again so I started another one of Dot's scrap blankets. As I said before this is a really easy pattern that turns out beautiful. I always think of stained glass since each row is outlined by black.
I also started a yo-yo scrap blanket for the scraps that are to small to make one row on the Dot's scrap blanket. I am going to cheat a little on the pattern by doing 2 rows of double crochet so the yo-yo are a little bit bigger, and hopefully it will take fewer to make the blanket. I hate to think about a the ends at I will have to weave in. I hate weaving in ends, usually have a big pile of stuff that is made except for they need ends weaved in. Oh well I am going to give this blanket a good try. I already have about 50 little yo-yo's made. I plan on making a ton of the little yo-yo's first then weave in ends, wash (in case any of the yarn is wool, that way I find out really quick which one where wool) then join. I will be happy if I can get this blanket done in a year. Dot's blanket will only take a week or so depending on how much time I have to work on it. Plus I keep making yo-yo as I go.
