WoolEater Update

I am just a few clusters short of 15 bands of colour. That is 30 rounds.



It is getting more and more awkward to photograph!

But still a long way to go until it is the 'right' size.

I really love working on this project, I love that it is for Miss Paradise, and that she is so happy with how it is coming along.
But, this is ALL I am working on.

So what do you do?

When working on a long term project do you have some breaks in between and work on something smaller - some thing that will give some instant gratification? Right now I just feel it is so long to go until I will be done. But I also feel if I put it aside for something else, something smaller then am I wasting time I could be spending on this.

the definition of irony....

my least favourite colour in the CAL ........butter........

will be the first colour I run out of!

(not really I have already bought the next round of each colour)

(NB, all colours are really off in the bathroom light - except.... yep... you guessed it.... the butter!)

crochet is not a summer sport!

well not in my hot humid corner of the world!

still loving working on this wool eater project. Still not caught up - I am at 12.5 rows and it is approximately 60cm square, should be on 16 rows, with another 3 complete this Wednesday the 15th. Do I sound worried? Nup, I'm not.

Miss Paradise is still lovin' the colours - I am not totally sold on the 'butter', I expected it to blend in a bit more and be less dominate than it is.

We are already planning the accessories I will make to match.....Cushions, bunting, pen holders (crochet covered tins a la lucy) ..... we have already agreed this is her year, and Lil Sis will have next year. But I will start with the small stuff in the summer, and leave the blanket for the cooler months :)

wool eater wednesday

arghhhhhh, my pic didn't load last night - oh well it is still Wednesday!

(on a Tuesday night).

my first 6 rounds!

I am so pleased with how it is coming along.

I have made mistakes! I have pulled some out, and then others I have discovered too late and have had to improvise. I am not going to point them out, but I hope they aren't obvious. (Don't look toooooooo closely).

I am pleased with how the colours are coming together as well. The colours are pretty close except the dark pink looks red in all the photos. It is pouring with rain today and so hard to get a good shot. I guess the most important thing is the Miss Paradise is happy :)

on to the next 4 rounds!

Wool Eater Wednesday Week One (on a Thursday)

Not sure where this week has gone, it is Thursday already!

Miss Paradise and I have had a little shopping adventure and have chosen our colours..... light pink, dark pink, turquoise, mauve and butter.

I have had a practice and I know it is not perfect but I am getting the hang of it.

This is the year to finish things! "Finished is better than perfect" is my motto for 2012.

I am sticking with the square, rather than the oblong.

So it is all systems go here in Paradise.

We are on track for six rounds by next Wednesday!

All I need to do now is join the Flickr group.

Have a great week!

count me in!

crochet a rainbow was so last year, haha, (the second pic is of my blocks, I finally sent them in) this year I am joining in with the Wooleater CAL (crochet along).

It is sooooo stinkin' hot here and humid - summer has arrived! But I am going to do this. A Wool Eater for Miss Paradise. I have done a practice couple of rounds and I think I get it.... well I do get it, I just don't always get it right! haha.

It was back to work for me today, so this will be my reward! It has been awhile since I have finished anything..... so here's hoping.

See you with some sort of update on Wednesday
