This week I have been crocheting away at the blanket
for my niece. I have completed all the
pink squares and now doing the blue squares.
I am a bit behind schedule but I will get there.
I wanted something to do as a bit of change and while
blog reading I came across the Scheepjes CAL that Wink of A Creative Being is
holding. It is a mystery CAL and each
week she releases a PDF pattern for one of the squares. (It is free and the pdf’s come in 4 languages!)
She is up to week 6 and all of the
squares are rather nice so far.
A bell went off in my head, as some of you may know I
have wanted to do a cotton blanket for ages and have fiddled around with motifs
and colours only to be abandoned for various reasons.
I have a lot of cotton in my stash, so even
better! The only problem she is using no
8 cotton and mine is no 10. With a bit
of experimenting I have worked out that I will need to do 7 squares of each
motif instead of 6 as in her pattern. (She
has a pack that you can buy but I rather think the cost of postage and time getting here would rule that out for me.) That is the
problem living way down under all those lovely materials that I see on blogs
are not available here!)
Anyways, this where I have got to so far:
The blue one is week 5, the instructions are fine but
it took a while to get use to her instructions, it is fortunate that there are
rather large photos of the squares as I was a bit mystified at times. That’s why I like charts; it has been a great
learning process.
There are two Facebook groups one that started 6 weeks
ago and the other that started yesterday.
However, I don’t do Facebook but I will post mine in the Ravelry Group. I really think I am going to like this blanket.
It has been a beautiful day to day, very summery and
the flowers are starting to look wonderful.
Here are two from my front garden.
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for visiting!
