Week 24

I finished this week's scrumble a few days ago, just in time to display (along with all of the scrumbles from the previous weeks) at my stand at the Sydney Craft & Quilt Fair. The display is getting a lot of interest, and I hope to be able to continue showing the growing range of scrumbles at other shows around Australia throughout the year.

This one is a mixture of both crochet and knitting; there are some knitted slip stitch areas plus some knitted ribbed sections, together with many different round-ish crochet motifs, and some ruffles. The yarns were in various thicknesses - from a rather chunky, looped blend to some quite fine synthetics; they included mostly mohair or man-made glitzy stuff, along with some wool and a few scraps of cotton.

The purple flower motif was finished with a little embroidery to give definition to the petals, as they didn't appear to show up so well once the other crochet had been added around that particular motif; then I also finished off the centre of this flower by stitching on some commercially made floral art stamens.

  1. I might just have to invent new words of praise - superscrumblous, colorific, artractivonomous... can't really put a finger on it but for me this is really a stand-alone scrumble per se!

    Would you perhaps be able to give an idea about the dimension - would it approximate the size shown on the downloaded jpg?

  3. Every your scrumble reminds me some places from childhood. This one is like a field of lupin. There were spots of pink, purple and blue flowers.
    It is like a game. I always wait for your new skrumble, and hope to find familiar places
