Week 5 of the #wildshoreBlanketCal with on the left its friend and mentor, the Moorland Blanket, also by attic24. We have 20 stripes left - I put my tape measure at the height where my blanket would end.

I want my blanket to be at least as long as the Moorland, so I have a lot of extra stripes to think up all by myself. For the first set I’m using a variation on week 3.

We have reached toe coverage! This is not a drill!

We have toe uncoverage!

The second set of extra stripes. The hank of coop knits was kind enough to stand in for the second row of sage. The longer I look at it the more I’m doubting it all so I should just get on with making the thing. Laying out the colours was super fun! But it feels like a big responsibility to add to a pattern an actual professional who does actual colour magic spent months on. #wildshoreBlanketCal

There is no CAL update this week, we have the week off before the border pattern in published next week. I just finished my 40 extra rows so I can now start week 6. #wildshoreBlanketCal

Displaying crochet avoidant behaviour. I’m at the last stripe before the border and I don’t want it to be over! #wildshoreBlanketCal #crochet

🥺

Playing with colours for the border! I have a pretty good idea of what I want. It won’t be Lucy’s pattern exactly, because going all around a blanket with little chain-2’s that might snag on absolutely everything does not fit into my clumsy lifestyle.

Working on the border. The rounds are very very very long. Fortunately there’s help. #wildshoreBlanketCal #wildshoreBlanketCat

The colours are incredibly off in this light so the formal portraits will have to wait. But it’s done and since it will be cold tonight, it will be on my bed :)

How it started // How it’s going

Lucy, the designer of this blanket, was inspired by Lindisfarne and the North Sea. Just like the island, I decided to have water all around the blanket, in the colours I’ve seen while being next to, in, under, over, or on the North Sea. (All I missed in the palette was a dark teal!) #wildshoreBlanketCal

@venite ook zo leuk om het effect van de verschillende randen te zien bij de deken! De rand van @tamarakoppelaar vond ik prachtig en deze is ook al zo schitterend! 😻

@archeokluit ja! Los gezien vind ik de rand van @tamarakoppelaar mooier, maar dit is precies wat ik in m’n hoofd had en als totaalproduct maakt het me heel blij

@archeokluit dit maakt het samen haken-aspect ook zo leuk @tamarakoppelaar

@venite @tamarakoppelaar ja ik heb echt genoten van het meekijken ❤️

@venite yay :) I love all the colours in this.

@allysseriordan me too! I don’t know how she does it

@venite Yay, gefeliciteerd! Dat is een heel eind haken in korte tijd.

@lisettedeboer ja, het kwam wel in plaats van een hoop. Maar voor mij is het ook de beste manier om zo’n groot project af te krijgen, zie ook de vier dekens in verschillende staat die ergens boven liggen :)

@venite Ik volg een Youtuber die “blankets for lent” doet. In de vastenperiode alleen aan dekens werken en daarna gaan ze weer op pauze. Lijkt me voor dat soort UFO’s wel een goeie. Misschien iets voor mijn Penrose ding, maar die kan juist prima in de zomer.

@lisettedeboer wat een mooi idee!
