With all the hats, the scrapalong has become a neglected little sister. So today is devoted to scraps.
I saw this gorgeous scrap shawl on one of the hat knitters' blogs. I thought it might inspire us here at scrapalong hq, and Enchanting Juno gave me permission to swipe the picture. Here is a shot of the whole piece, which appears to be knitted sideways. How beautiful! I know it has inspired me with new scrap ideas.
The more I think about my languishing scrap sweater, the more I think it ought to be something smaller like a shrug or shawl. Marie's squishy scarf has made me feel even more this way. I guess I'll know more after the meatheads are finished. But in the meantime, I hope some of you scrapalongers are having fun.
You can swipe my picture too--and can I join the Scrapalong, too? I have a basket full of little bits that were too small even to use as the first round on my afghan, and I'm about to dive into freeform knitting!

But I love your scrap sweater.... Maybe it needs to be a long-term project that you add to slowly? The scarf is beautiful, but honestly it's just a different project with very different yarn. Don't abandon the sweater yet.
