Today is the day, the Hello Spring CAL starts!
As a few people have asked me about this: yes, I’ll be posting my colour choices and the colour placement I’m using for the individual parts of the CAL here.
So let’s start with my
Yarn and colours
I used Stylecraft Special DK and a 4 mm hook. My colours are
- 1001 White
- 1822 Pistachio
- 1027 Khaki
- 1081 Saffron
- 1723 Tomato
When I saw Ana’s pattern, I’d originally had a slightly different colour scheme in mind.
But for some reason, it didn’t work. Although I tried two different colour arrangements, I realised fairly quickly that it wasn’t going to work. It was perhaps a bit too dark for a spring design. So I decided against it and needed to come up with something new.
Even so, I LOVE these swatches:
I haven’t unraveled them yet and will keep them as inspiration for any further project.
Whilst searching for further colour combinations, I came across a drawing featuring stylised flowers in two different shades of green against a white background. Somehow, it really gave me that ‘spring’ feeling. To achieve this look, I chose White and Pistachio as the main colours and added a touch of Khaki. I completed the look with a few splashes of Saffron and Tomato.

And last but not least, here’s a collage showing all the test versions created by the One Skein of Love test team.
See you next week!

Thank you 💕
Is it worth it? I think: yes! But ultimately you have to decide.
There are 11 different designs plus the border design and the pattern is very well written (and tested 😁). Besides the written instructions with detailed pictures for each row there are also charts to work along. The pattern is easy to adapt, so you can not only make a blanket but also a table runner, wall hanging or cushion cover. What ever you like. That‘s why I think it is worth the price!
