These first 10 days of #ScrapAlong2025, I've watched people return to their craft, share this project’s info, support others’ work, find renewed enthusiasm for their own, and be visible to one another. This is where change begins. ☺️ People can also just have fun in these last winter/summer weeks.

The folded brim will probably cover the latest rounds of my scrappy Musselburgh hat. So, after knitting a couple more inches I plan to add trans pride stripes. This pink and blue yarn is more saturated than actual trans pride colors, but they’re what I have and I think they will work. #TransAlly

Another 3.75 in / 9.5 cm of stockinette. I'm at the halfway point of my scrappy #MusselburghHat. 🥳 21,630 stitches left to go! #ScrapAlong2025 #ScrapAlong #ScrapYarn #LeftoverYarn #Yarn #Craftivism #Craftivist #DoublePointedNeedles #DPNs #Knitting #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit

The scrappy #MusselburghHat I'm knitting * for #ScrapAlong2025 looks so good! The far end and brim will be blues/purples. * Remember, any yarn craft is fair game, not just knitting! #ScrapAlong #ScrapYarn #LeftoverYarn #Yarn #Craftivism #Craftivist #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit

I would have followed this account anyway. “Tatonka Tuesday” is the icing on the cake 🎂 🦬

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Found 41g of bright yarn at the thrift store, caught a glimpse of blue sky, visited our used book store. Found Christopher Moore's "The Stupidest Angel." Thrift store yarn and used books for the win! 🥳 #FridayHarbor #SanJuanIsland #IslandLife #MyIslandLife #IGetToLiveHere #LeftOverYarn #UsedBooks

No hashtags or emoji for this one. Reading sickening news about the weeks-long torture and murder of trans man Sam Nordquist, feeling more helpless than ever. I remember the news about Dahmer's victims and then about Matthew Shepard. This is worse.

Scrap Along 2025 is well underway! It runs through March 15, so you have plenty of time to participate. 😉 I’m truly delighted to see posts of scrappy crochet, knitting, tatting, and weaving projects tagged with #ScrapAlong2025 My own scrappy #MusselburghHat is coming along nicely. 1/3

My scrappy #MusselburghHat for #ScrapAlong2025 begins! I've tinkered to increase stitches along a curve. The center is Tweedy Toes in Guac by 2 Guys Yarn Company. I like it! I bought the yarn at the 2016 Madison Knitters' Guild Knit-In. Stripes come next. #ScrapAlong #ScrapYarn #LeftoverYarn #Yarn

Welcome to the first day of #ScrapAlong2025! 🥳 It’s an opportunity for yarn crafters of all kinds—crochet, embroidery, felting, knitting, latch hook, macrame, nalbinding, needlepoint, tatting, weaving, and any I missed—to create with leftover yarn and share their scrappy gorgeousness online. 1/3

I didn’t want to begin my scrappy Musselburgh hat before Scrap Along 2025, but I had to knit something so I started another pair of pirate socks. 😋 1/2 #NeverNotKnitting #ScrappySocks #PirateSocks #SockKnitting #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit #DPNs #DoublePointedNeedles
