A Scrap Happy Easter post

It’s not often that I have anything for a Scrap Happy post but recently I have been really utilising my scraps of yarn.

One of the things I have done is make a few crochet eggs for a friend.

When we went for a walk on The Common recently, she was looking for any small branches lying on the ground to make a display to have in her Hall for Easter. She found a couple and said that she had only had a couple of wooden eggs to hang on it. I said of course she could crochet some. Although she can crochet she is really more of a knitter, so this was obviously a challenging thought. So I offered to make her a few.

I keep all the small pieces of yarn left over from other projects, thinking I might one day make a scrap blanket. However I never get anywhere near that as a possibility as I keep using them for other things like the eggs.

I categorise them into short pieces, really small balls and small balls.

I took out some suitable colours of the smaller lengths and a suitable size hook and set to work.

After a few days I had made these.

which I packed in an egg box together with another tiny one.

Gave them to her today and they were much appreciated.
