I wanted to work on my #wildshoreBlanketCal but it gave me a 418 error
Week 1 done. Is it Friday yet? #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal

Week 2, batch 1, ATTENTION!

(Shuffling sounds and giggles in the background)

Ah, here they are :) #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal

Today’s ends woven in and snipped off. And the butt of world famous fiberarts model @archibald!

Today’s colours. What I love most about the attic24 stripe blankets is that the colours (15 of them in total) keep coming up in different combinations. It automatically becomes a colour study, showing it from every side. That’s why crocheting the same stripe 135 times doesn’t get boring.

I wouldn’t mind knitting a sweater with this mini palette!

There’s not really a reason to do the crochet-along entirely during the “official” time, besides keeping momentum (which I do think is helpful for me personally). I just like having this as my focus and I really enjoy the process. Five more stripes done. #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal
I would call today’s palette “my bedroom when I was 11” #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal
And today’s ends. I found this neat design board to plan colourwork, isn’t it great? #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal
The final palette of week two of this crochet-a-long is the same as friday’s, just inverted. They were being pretty smug about it in the basket last night, but I bet the others will get their chance to double up in the coming weeks. #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal
That’s week 2 finished. We moved out of “is this a strangely short scarf?” and are now in “is this a strangely short stole/shawl?” territory. Wondering how much it will stretch because I have 41 cm of height now. #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal
Week 2! Almost too big for its basket. #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal
It’s Friday! That means twenty new colours for our crochet-a-long! Today is for blue, purples and what the yarn manufacturer calls “oatmeal”, although my oatmeal has never had that colour. #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal
Can’t tell whether this will be “today’s” or “this week’s“ mini palette because I’ve been too unwell to crochet much the last days. But I can definitely tell it’s my favourite so far. #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal

Did I stay up too late yesterday to finish five stripes?

No comment.

Today’s palette: a bit all over the place. Just like me. #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal

The last five colours of week 3! Found out yesterday that we’re at the end of the balls, so I grabbed the next ones too. They didn’t expect it. They’re all drunk. #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal
Of course this wouldn’t be possible without the expert help of @archibald #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal

#wildshoreBlanketCal week 3. Lots of ends to weave in today. I think we’re now getting a good impression of the mood of the blanket as a whole and I like it very much.

#crochet

This is why I tell myself to deal with ends as I go. Eventually you run out of cat.

It’s Friday again, which means a new edition of the CAL! Today’s palette is very flowery with a bit of sea.

Week 4 complete! #wildshoreBlanketCal
It’s week 5 of the crochet-a-long and the blanket is long enough that I can twist it when working on it instead of having to turn the entire thing around. @archibald approves. And is obviously helping. #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal

#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
Crochet blankets (or afghans) are versatile, cozy projects ranging from easy beginner-friendly designs to complex patterns. Popular techniques include corner-to-corner (C2C) granny squares, simple single/double crochet stripes, and textured stitches. They can be created in one piece or by joining smaller motifs. Key materials include soft yarns like cotton, acrylic, or chunky blends.
@venite mooi zeg! Het fotomodel staat er ook goed bij.
@venite Did Archibald claim this blanket already?
@leonieke Archibald lives here, we just try to fit around him
@venite Hehehe, a perfect cat!
@venite het wordt een hele fijne deken. Al die kleuren zijn mooi bij elkaar 💙
