I wanted to work on my #wildshoreBlanketCal but it gave me a 418 error

@leonieke me too!!!! I skipped last year’s CAL because I didn’t like them much, but this one is great

[leonieke@squilla.vitaulium.eu]

@venite Just wonderful and happy-making colors!

[whakkee@appdot.net]

@venite Lovely colours, still tempted to order a kit myself too. (Looks at pile of WIPs: nope, nope nope, I shouldn’t 🫣)

[bipolarbear@pixelfed.social]

It looks great! Are you weaving in ends as you go?

[venite@wandering.shop]

@BipolarBear sort of, I usually do it at the end of every day, to give myself less chance to lose either my hook or my needle

Week 2, batch 1, ATTENTION!

(Shuffling sounds and giggles in the background)

Ah, here they are #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal

[pointysticksncoffee@wandering.shop]

@venite Do you perceive the woolen version as slightly more muted than the acrylic, or is that just photo/screen variation?

[venite@wandering.shop]

@pointysticksncoffee the colours are almost identical but it reflects the light differently. I wouldn’t call the acrylic shiny at all, but it does give off more light in a way.

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

@venite@wandering.shop @venite@mastodon.nl Such a pretty colour palette

[venite@wandering.shop]

@GinevraCat yes, the designer is brilliant with colour

[venite@wandering.shop]

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

[venite@wandering.shop]

I would call today’s palette “my bedroom when I was 11” #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal

[venite@wandering.shop]

And today’s ends. I found this neat design board to plan colourwork, isn’t it great? #crochet #wildshoreBlanketCal

[maru@sunny.garden]

@venite he’s incredible. And unbelievable

[venite@wandering.shop]

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

[fallsmom@pixey.org]

Yeow that is a lot of color planning! Looks good!

[venite@wandering.shop]

@FallsMom yes, the designer shared that it takes her weeks or longer to create the design, and you definitely notice while making it

[venite@wandering.shop]

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
