August Catch-Up……. Part 4
The pattern for this blanket has been around since 2015 and
I’ve had my eyes on it for some time, but this month, I finally got around to
purchasing the yarn and pattern and made a start.
It’s a combination of several patterns, Circles of the Sun,
Dandelion Mandala, Sophie’s Garden, Dandelion Border, Sophie’s Roses, Large
Dandelion Border and Dancing Dandelions that come together to create a
beautiful highbred.
I made a visit to my
favourite on-line wool supplier, The Wool Warehouse
and within a couple of days it arrived and I was ready to
start.
The pattern suggests that you start with the Circles of the
Sun Squares,
to get used to the way the pattern is written and the overlay
stitches that are used throughout, but as I had just recently finished the Stardust
Melodies Cal, which also uses overlay crochet, I decided to jump right in and
start with the Dandelion Mandala first.
Just out of curiosity I thought I would keep a note of the
time it takes to make this throw, and after my first 12 hours
and 10 minutes, I had the mandala finished.
The
next step is to square it off , combining the patterns from Sophie's Garden and the Dandelion Border.
Happy Crafting!
Whatever your passion may be.
