Geometrics Cal – Sneak Peek

The last few weeks have been very busy.
In July, Ana from One Skein of Love asked me if I could help with another test: a blanket in Overlay Mosaic crochet that she designed for a CAL (crochet along).

Of course, I said yes!

But the timeframe was pretty tight. I started the test on July 27 and finished my blanket on September 10. So only a little over 6 weeks to crochet

• 207 chains for the foundation
• 54.441 stitches for the blanket
• 940 slip stitches and 8 chains to start the border
• 1.928 stitches plus 16 chains for the back layer of the border
• 3.840 stitches plus 32 chains for the front layer of the border
• and 972 slip stitches and 12 single crochet for the final round

That makes a total of 62.396 stitches – if I haven’t miscounted. PHEW!

Not included are the stitches I had to rework because my tension was off due to some yarn problems!

But never mind, it was worth it! And I am happy to show the first sneak peeks.

I wanted to make my Geometrics to match my When Summer turns into Fall blanket (I‘m still working on) so I chose the same colours and used

• Parchment, 4 balls
• Walnut, 4 balls
• Copper, 2 balls
• Lime, 2 balls
• Gold, 1 ball

(At least that is what I have noted, hope it is correct.)

Since I didn’t follow Ana’s colour scheme, I’ll list my colour placement for each part of the Cal in the following posts.

The Cal will start on September 23 and I hope many, many people will join!
