CAL update #10

Hi there.

I have been working steadily away at my big blanket now for ages, and I have decided it is big enough!   So I have the final instalment for my epically long CAL, and then I will do the edge and it will be finished!!  I'm not planning anything fancy for the edge, there is so much going on in this blanket already that I think something plain and simple will be fine.

Anyhoo, here is the last !! section of my blanket:

After the 2 rows of dark pink,

double row of SC in red (right side, then turn work and go back on wrong side),

then 1 row of 4dc clusters in sky blue,

then 1 row of sc in red,

then 1 row of 4dc clusters in spearmint,

then 1 row of sc in pale pink,

then 1 row of 4dc clusters in dark blue,

Then a section of double rows of sc in

light aqua

red

spearmint

flamingo

pale blue

celery

Next I did a section of bobble stitch in flamingo and green.

Then a double row of sc in celery,

and another double row of sc in red.

Next I did a section of granny stripes in sky blue and pale blue then sky blue again.

The last section of the blanket is 5 double rows of sc in

red

dark blue

mid green

celery

flamingo.!

And that is the end of the main part of the mixed stitch stripy blanket!!

Just the edge to go now, so close to finishing, I really want to get this finalised before the weather gets much warmer, it is a very heavy, warm blanket!

Thank you if you are still with me on this CAL, I know I have been unreliable in it's progress, and a lot of people have got on with it and made up their own sequence, which is great.  I have seen many beautiful blankets finished months ago!  I apologise for my poor CAL admin duties, it seems I am not great at regular postings, maybe next time I will choose a smaller, more manageable project!  Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the process, and created something unique and special along the way!

These instructions will be put onto the CAL page so that anyone can have a go at making their own mixed stripy blanket when ever they like, it's never too late to join in!

I'll be back with a post about the edging and a few pics of the whole thing finished, this blanket deserves a tadah, even if we are all sick of the sight if it!! :)

Have a great day y'all, and thanks for visiting!
