I hit Goodwill this morning. That place really gets my creative juices flowing. I stopped in for a shirt or two to use as lining for my bags. (I'm determined to use reclaimed and repurposed items as much as possible.) I found a shirt. And a wool skirt that I can sew into a gorgeous bag. And two belts that will make nifty purse straps. And an unused skein of purple #10 crochet thread. And two purses that I had a vague idea of doing something interesting to. And another purse just for me. (It was $2.60! In my favorite colors!!)
So, I've seen a few examples of scrumbling online, which I can only interpret as kind of a crazy quilt sort of crochet technique. I love the idea and decided to try it for one of the purses I got at Goodwill. In keeping with the recycled theme, I'm using only leftover bits of yarn from other projects. I wasn't sure at first how I liked it, but I think it's going to be interesting. Any thoughts?

Your scrumbly on the purse is cool. I have not heard of this term yet but it reminds me of freeform a bit. Thanks for stopping by my blog and I appreciate all the kind words. Take care,

Ok, I need to know about scrumbling. Never heard of it. Details please? Can't wait to hear what you up to next.
