Crochet Scrumble – Grape Expectations

I’ve named my most recent Crochet Scrumble ‘Grape Expectations’. There are five small bunches of ‘grapes’ in this piece. I ‘expected’ to make more grapes, but they were time consuming and fiddly to make.

My grapes are small in comparison to the large, and very expensive, Japanese Ruby Roman grapes. One bunch sold for $12,000 at an auction in 2020. That’s about $400 per grape! (See Video below.)

I had ‘Grape Expectations’ that there would be lots of puns, jokes and memes about grapes…

Grape minds think alike.

How does one measure the length of grapevines? They do it by vineyards.

I Came, I Saw, I Concord.

I like talking to my kids about the benefits of dried grapes.
It’s all about raisin awareness.

There was once a old grape farmer, who had gone through many droughts. When his grapes had fallen and dried out, all he could say was…. Everything happens for a raisin.

What would a grape say if you step on it? It won’t say anything; it will just let out a little wine.

IQ of a Grape
From prison he tried to escape
But, had the IQ of a grape
… His rocket (mis-wired)
… Quickly backfired
Now he’s all over the landscape
