A scrappy ripple containing nine yarns. Only three had labels. Berocco Candy FX, a novelty yarn, which I held with a strand or ‘regular’ yarn. It adds a nice bit of sheen, Caron’s Dazzleaire ‘Frost Mint’, the lightest green, and RHSS ‘Aruba Sea’.

It’s fun to use up odds and ends, but designing a good-looking scrap blanket takes time. Sooo, I figured out a way to cut the planning time in half!

It’s such a simple idea – I planned the stripes for the first half of the blanket, weighing each yarn as-I-went so I was sure not to use more than half. Then, for the second half of the blanket, I just copied the first half’s stripes in reverse order! Wow, did that go more quickly! Vrroooom – done.
