I’m old enough to know that it’s easy to forget what trying/doing something for the first time is like. We settle into the pursuits we enjoy for the results we’ve come to expect.
Do something new. Something you’ve been thinking about. The results won’t be all that you want. Do it anyway. Do it again
I'll frog back into the light beginning half and incorporate this unlabelled thrift store yarn. I think it's Austermann Step in colorway 18 Red Grey.

Nearly complete, helically knit but unimpressive ribbed cap. The dark top half will be frogged back into the light mottled beginning half and reknit to include this dark/light gray and red thrift store yarn.
Meh. I do say that when you make things from your favorite colors of yarn, that combining the leftovers makes projects gorgeous. There are exceptions. This ribbed cap I'm making for #ScrapAlong2026 just doesn't bring me joy.

I started the crown but thought "nope" and frogged back to the first stripe. Reknit in narrower, neater stripes, I'm much happier with the result. It's my latest ribbed cap for #ScrapAlong2026, knit from four colorways of leftover fingering weight yarn.

Ferry knitting. Chilly outside, warm sitting in the sun. No passengers near. Beautiful weather, peaceful knitting.

Cute 🙂
This is marvelous!
The thought of making a thing from scrap yarn to contain other scrap yarn makes my day 😀
Thanks, Mireille ☺️
I haven’t yet. The gloves I started last year are still unfinished. 😋
Who is working on Scrap Along projects in other yarn crafts? (crochet, embroidery, felting, latch hook, macrame, nalbinding, needlepoint, tatting, weaving, etc.)

Progress photos today. Another ribbed cap for #ScrapAlong2026 in helical knitting. The third band I'm working on now will always be hidden by the brim, so it doesn't *have* to be as splashy as the first band. I still want it to look decent. 😋
Well, at least you’re prepared for the next ice age
Thank you so much for being part of this! It started as a spur of the moment thing last year but seems to be resonating with yarn people.
Love that people are making such gorgeous things for Scrap Along 2026! I’m a little envious 😋
Oh nice! Also, woo hoo! Designing with scrap yarn is next level 😉
You’ve got cable skills! Thanks for joining Scrap Along 2026!
Amazing. Thanks for joining in!
Those colors look wonderful together in that stitch. I look forward to seeing them when you come back!
Glad to offer the opportunity to scrap along! I trust they go well
What a perfect combination of scraps and resistance. Kudos! 🤩
Thank you! ☺️

It's an inside day today, but an opportunity to capture this combination of leftover yarn, helical knitting, and colorway pooling in a swirling #RibbedCap for #ScrapAlong2026
I look forward to seeing other yarn crafter's work soon!

I used the very last yards of a ball of soft green Zitron Trekking XXL 285, a gift from my mother when she taught me her method of knitting socks. Sixteen years ago.

Beach break. I finished this #RibbedCap of leftover yarn a day before the "official" start of #ScrapAlong2026. This one is sentimental…
This is truly comfort knitting.
Remember, any craft that uses yarn is included in this Scrap Along!

Leftover yarn in blues and whites chosen for my first project of Scrap Along 2026.
My first project for #ScrapAlong2026 is another ribbed cap in helical knitting on double pointed needles. I can practically make these in my sleep now!
The yarn is leftover Lang Yarns Jawoll Superwash and Froehlich Wolle Special Blauband from my mother's stash and a mini skein from Woolen Boon.
I think that making leftover yarn counts, too 😉 I hope you’re enjoying your knitting!
tat, weave, or any other yarn craft I left out, you can scrap along.
Most of all, have a great time.
