It's been a LONG time since I've posted about my Ugly Blanket. There's only a bit more added, but some friends have passed along extra yarn (Thanks, Mandy!) leftover from their own projects. It will be fun to put in these colors!
Here's a current picture:
This is a stack of yarn ready to be added:
I am LOVING this way of using up extra yarn! It's so much fun to look at it and remember the previous projects or the people that have passed along their extras.
It still has a long way to go until it is long enough. Won't it be some sort of crazy conglomeration by the time I'm done? I can't wait! ;-)
I actually think I'll like this U-G-L-Y blanket when you've finished it..so far so good!
ReplyDeleteIt's not ugly.....it has character. :o) Thanks for the tip of the cayenne pepper. I tried that years ago as a spray that someone suggested on my patio peach tree. It didn't work. Didn't try it dry. I'll have to get some.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I use up scraps for granny squares and have done an afghan with that stained glass look, but this is cool!
ReplyDeleteI wrote about Uglee today for U-day.
I can hardly wait to see the finished afghan..and yes it will be totally different and be a one of a kind piece..love it
ReplyDeleteIt's a little bit like a quilt in the way it tells a story!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! almost like a crazy quilt...it's bound to be one of your faves for sure. Blessings, Joanne
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I know you'll enjoy finishing it up and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've done this before....and may just do it again....who knows. For now I'm looking for other projects to use up my yarn stash.
ReplyDeleteFrom another WI crocheter, I love your blanket, and it isn't ugly at all! It shows creativity, and it looks so cool with what you have so far. I hope you've kept going on this and can show us updates!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Candy! WI crocheters stick together. =) I'll be posting updates--hopefully I'll have some soon. ;-)
