SCRUMBLING
or Taking Your Yarn
for a Walk Choose a colourway, pick up a crochet hook, chain a few stitches and you are off on the adventure of a lifetime. One of the things I like most about scrumbling, is the total design freedom it allows. There are no patterns, virtually no rules, mistakes become design elements, and best of all, no swatching! In fact you can mix as many crochet and/or knit stitches and yarn varieties as your heart desires without fear of failure. Apart from a never-ending supply of materials, what more does a textile artist want? I love 'scrumbling' so much that I decided to write a book about it and other freeform approaches! Watch for my second book, due to be released in July 2006!

Why did I give these two bags this particular title? It's a longish story and the short version is that I made them for a friend to take to the recent Stitches West event. Instead, after almost two weeks of worrying that they wouldn't reach her in time, they arrived back here in Australia. Yes, that's right! Returned To Sender!! Hopefully they'll get to go to Stitches Mid West in August! |
