Happy Scrappy Yarn Challenge for March


This year I’m teaming up with Crochet Creations by Christi to host a Happy Scrappy Yarn Challenge. Each month we will issue a challenge to help you use up those yarn scraps & single skeins you have tucked in nooks & crannies around your house. There will be prizes each month as well, so keep reading to find out all the yarny details & the yarn challenge for March!

Happy Scrappy Yarn Challenge Rules & Such

Christi & I will be alternating months. I’ll be sharing the challenge for January & she’ll be sharing the yarn challenge for February. It will go back & forth like that all year long. Whoever is responsible for the challenge that month will also be responsible for the prize. We will share challenges & prizes on our YouTube channels & in the Facebook group. I’ll also be doing a monthly blog post about all the challenges.

For this challenge, we have set up a joint Facebook group so there’s a place to share all your fabulous makes. The first thing you need to do to participate is join the group. You can also follow along on Christi’s YouTube channel & my YouTube channel. Here are some other things to know:

  • Challenges will be issued on the first Thursday each month, with the exception of January. This is the 2nd Thursday, but I had a lot going on at the beginning of the year y’all! : )
  • You will have until the end of the month to enter your project in the Facebook group. It must be related to the challenge for the month to be eligible for the prize that month. Please only share makes related to the challenge. That’s what the group is for after all!
  • If you love yarn, you can participate in the challenge! This challenge is for all yarn lovers – crocheters, knitters, loomers, weavers, etc. The only limitation is that your project should be made mostly with scraps and/or single skeins of yarn & fit the challenge for the month.

I think that should cover all the rules & such. If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments here or on YouTube or in the Facebook group.

Yarn Challenge for March ~ Home Decor

March is my month to choose a theme! I chose home decor because we usually get into a spring cleaning mode about this time of year. Time to shake off the winter doldrums & welcome spring with some fun yarny home decor! There’s so many options with this challenge, so I’m dividing them by types of home decor. Really, if you can decorate your house with it, it’s fair game! : D

Rugs

I found so many patterns for rugs! This is a great way to use up scraps & add some fun color to your space.

Pillows

Pillows are a great way to add some spring color without doing a whole makeover. If you don’t have an pillow forms laying around, think about making a cover for a current throw pillow. You can also use a folded blanket in as well. : )

Baskets

Baskets have a double function – storage plus decor!

I have a crochet pattern coming out next week for a granny stitch basket. Here’s a sneak peak:

I’m also going to do a tutorial for crocheting over thicker yarn & how I made this basket…

This & That

Just some fun ideas that are great for sprucing up your home decor.

Okay, I could go on and on and on with this, but I have to stop somewhere! I didn’t include afghans & blankets on this list, but I would consider those home decor as well. Most people were looking for things to do with scraps other than blankets. Hope y’all enjoyed the post & happy making y’all! 😀
