This year I’m teaming up with Crochet Creations by Christi to host a Happy Scrappy Yarn Challenge. Each month we will issue a challenge to help you use up those yarn scraps & single skeins you have tucked in nooks & crannies around your house. There will be prizes each month as well, so keep reading to find out all the yarny details & the yarn challenge for February!

Happy Scrappy Yarn Challenge Rules & Such
Christi & I will be alternating months. I’ll be sharing the challenge for January & she’ll be sharing the yarn challenge for February. It will go back & forth like that all year long. Whoever is responsible for the challenge that month will also be responsible for the prize. We will share challenges & prizes on our YouTube channels & in the Facebook group. I’ll also be doing a monthly blog post about all the challenges.
For this challenge, we have set up a joint Facebook group so there’s a place to share all your fabulous makes. The first thing you need to do to participate is join the group. You can also follow along on Christi’s YouTube channel & my YouTube channel. Here are some other things to know:
- Challenges will be issued on the first Thursday each month, with the exception of January. This is the 2nd Thursday, but I had a lot going on at the beginning of the year y’all! : )
- You will have until the end of the month to enter your project in the Facebook group. It must be related to the challenge for the month to be eligible for the prize that month. Please only share makes related to the challenge. That’s what the group is for after all!
- If you love yarn, you can participate in the challenge! This challenge is for all yarn lovers – crocheters, knitters, loomers, weavers, etc. The only limitation is that your project should be made mostly with scraps and/or single skeins of yarn & fit the challenge for the month.
I think that should cover all the rules & such. If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments here or on YouTube or in the Facebook group.
Yarn Challenge for February ~ Love is in the air!
This month it’s Christi’s turn to pick the theme! Her theme is “love is in the air”, which is appropriate since we have Valentine’s Day coming up on the 14th. She sent me loads of links to fun projects & you can check them out below.
- Easy Crochet Jar of Hearts from Anno Crochet Designs
- Crochet Heart Shaped Storage Baskets from My Poppet Makes

You may notice all the links are for crochet! That’s because Christi is a crocheter, but I hear she’s learning to knit! : D
More Fiber Fun
I do have one more crochet pattern for you before we move on to the other fun yarny links! It’s a free pattern here on the blog called the Pixel & Lace Heart Scarf.
