Scrumble! What exactly is a scrumble?? Prudence Mapstone designs 'freeform" scrumbles--using knitting and crocheting techniques; mostly small pieces that create a larger scene. We 'met' Prudence through a couple of UK gals who attended our annual January Spin-in several years ago. They had enjoyed a workshop with Prudence and her Scrumbles earlier that year. We were fascinated by this form of using small amounts of "leftover" yarns!
I worked a few scrumbls to fill the tip of my houseshoes. The scrumbles are stitched onto mesh form.
Here are a few of my odd scrumbles that I intended for purse; even had the purse form but alas, this is as far as I could make it. Sad! These scrumbles just languishes in a small bag--who knows maybe someday (!) these will become an art piece
I do have a couple of Prudence's books--just in case I want to take up Scrumbles again
She has several other books available! Visit her website, on Instagram, and other social media sites
What prompted me to think of those long forgotten Scrumbles? The fiber exhibit at Kerr Arts and Cultural Center Yes! Some of the pieces reminded me of how useful Scrumbles can be, although the pieces might not have used the idea of scrumbles.

"Winterling" Suzann Thompson
More scrumbling involved--although, the artist probably did think about that technique when she created her pieces.
