Hello, again,
I am launching a new project/series. I’ve been thinking about what to do, next. Recently, I was listening to a podcast about artists/makers, and a fiber artist was talking about her installation of 1000 doilies. I’ve always liked the idea of 1000 things. (1000 folded cranes, etc.)
So, what could I make 1000 of? At the time, I had started making crocheted afghans as a way to use leftover yarn from my stash. I call them “Scrap-ghans”. I planned to give them to the local animal shelter. Could I make 1000 afghans? Probably not.
But, I could probably make 1000 squares. So, that’s what I am doing. Making 1000 squares to be assembled into Scrap-ghans. So far, I’ve got a good start. I will be posting pictures of individual squares with their designations, here; on Pinterest; and on Instagram.
Squares are/will be from patterns; altered patterns; and my own design; and assembled into afghans. Again, all of the Scrap-ghans will be donated to local animal shelters.
In addition, I will be posting ways people can help/support this project, as soon as the first square is posted.
This will be the first of several “1000” themed projects to come.
Stay tuned for Square #0001…
