As I mentioned in my previous post, I've begun crocheting some shop samples for Atelier. The first sample that I started and finished this week is Pattern #159, which uses a G hook and 4, 100g balls of Noro Kibou, Col. 7, Lot A. Obviously you could use whatever colors you like!
The yarn is a light weight DK cotton/wool/silk blend.
The subtle muted color palette crocheted in a granny square pattern creates the optical illusion that you're changing colors every round when actually the yarn is doing the work.
(Unblocked) this creates a 44" diameter lap blanket/baby blanket.
It took me 23 hours to complete which is real time means less than a week, crocheting a few hrs everyday.
If you'd like to come and squish the shop sample and pick out your own kit IRL, I will be bringing it into work this Saturday.
In other happy fiber news, I waited until New Year's Day to open my Winter Soulstice offering from Ritual Dyes in PDX and welcome in 2021 with some extra good vibes. I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that I haven't yet cast on their Fall Equinox offering but I swear I'm going to do it soon!
