Winter Wonderland Mosaic – My colours Part 5

Updated on July 13, 2026

This post documents my progress during the Winter Wonderland Mosaic CAL. While the CAL has long since ended, I have kept these posts as a record of the project.

Winter Wonderland Mosaic

We’ve now reached week 5 of the Winter Wonderland CAL. This is the final section before the border.

As I mentioned in my post on Part 2 of the CAL, I had a few time-related issues with this test. Sometimes there’s just so much going on in everyday life. We had some urgent work to do on the house that couldn’t be put off.

To ensure I could still finish the test on time, I decided, in consultation with Ana, to put my blanket on hold for the time being. Starting with Pattern 11 in Part 4 of the CAL, I tested the instructions on a separate piece. A small swatch covering just 2 repeats. That was much quicker, but served the same purpose.

I just used a few bits of leftover yarn that I still had lying around in my basket. I hadn’t really paid much attention to the colours at the time. Still, when I’d finished, I actually really liked the combination.

It’s completely different from my blanket – a bit of a rustic look – but it’s lovely too. What do you think?

After that, I was finally able to finish my blanket in peace. And this is what Part 5 looks like in my ‘usual’ colours.
