<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nI’m one of those ladies that picks up doilies at the thrift store for 80 cents and thinks “Are you kidding me?! Those take forever to make!” and I carry them around like store like little treasures. Well, they are!<\/i> <\/p>\n
I also tend to buy groups of embroidery hoops. They’re usually really cheap and I’ve had great luck in finding them at even greater reduced cost. I don’t embroider much, so it’s pretty ridiculous that I have as many as I do. I’m always keeping an eye out on things to do with my hoops. I’ve made a few little projects here and there, like this photo hoop<\/a>, but yesterday I decided to put a doily in one. <\/p>\n I married a few more doilies and hoops and liked the look, but it’s winter and I am in hopeless love with COLOR. I wanted it; I needed it; I had to have it. So, I grabbed my ever-growing jar of scrap yarn. I keep anything that’s about 12″ or longer. I wind tiny little scraps around my finger and put them in the jar. I chose a few colors and used a regular yarn needle to weave in and out of the holes of my doilies. <\/p>\n I covered most of the circular doily, but left a lot of the big open spaces in the pineapple doily…well, open. The pineapple turned into a leaf! I was really loving the effect and want to make moremoremore. This is the perfect sit-on-the-couch-with-a-movie project. Like granny squares, these would be absolutely perfect to use even the tiniest scraps of yarn on.
