A while ago I showed you the yarn that I had started collecting for Hannah from Not Your Average Crochet‘s CAL. At the beginning of June we finally made a start on our stripy blankets and so far I have been storming through the rows!
At the end of the first week, I had completed the first rows:
These rows were really quick to do and, even fitting them round a busy schedule, I still completed them in two days.
A week later I was itching to get started on the next few rows and I spent several hours refreshing the page to see if the instructions had appeared! When they did, I got to start straight away and I completed the next 8 rows in one evening after work!
This is what I have now:
Even Tabby was eager to work on these rows…I came home from work to find her so tangled in my yarn that she couldn’t even stand up as she had managed to tie her legs together! Thankfully she was fine and nothing had come unravelled!
I am thoroughly enjoying taking part in the CAL and as soon as the weekend arrives I am eager to find out what the next few rows will look like! If you want to join the CAL you still have time…these rows are super quick and you will be able to catch up in no time! Here are the links for anyone who wants to join:

Loving your blanket pattern.
Thanks, I love the pattern too…Hannah has done a fantastic job designing it!

HEY HANNAH, I LOVE IT, TIS BEAUTIFUL!! I TRIED TO GET THE PATTERN, BUT WAS UNABLE…
How strange! I’ve checked the links and they work on my end but if you are still having trouble just copy and paste these instead.

Beautiful cours! Mine don’t compliment as nicely as yours do
Thank you! I wasn’t sure the colours went very well but the more I do the better it looks 🙂 I’m sure yours looks lovely though 😀
Looks fantastic, can’t wait to see what it’ll look like when finished!
Thank you 😀 I can’t wait either! I’m really loving the fact that it is a surprise CAL…I always look forward to seeing what the next week will look like!
You’ve got me hooked. Have just joined in. Yarn ordered at lunchtime. I have some catching up to do!
Ooh I’m so glad that you are joining! I can’t wait to see your blanket on the go! Don’t worry, the rows are nice and quick so you’ll catch up in no time!
Week 1 done, week 2 tonight!
Ooh I can’t wait to see!
Your blanket is looking awesome. Wish I could have joined in on this one, but just don’t think I can fit it in. Besides, my crochet skills are not great at all and I think I would have been more frustrated with everything else going on. I will enjoy watching your progress on this.
I love Hannah’s pattern so far! I think Hannah is planning on compiling the instructions at the end of the CAL so if you don’t get chance to join in now you could always safe it for a later date 🙂 I shall try and keep everyone updated with my progress regularly 😀
Oooh lovely colours 🙂 I do love this CAL, it’s addictive!
Thank you…it is certainly a very girly blanket in the colours that I have chosen! I am having a great time taking part though 😀 I agree, every Saturday I’m constantly refreshing my screen until it appears hehe!
My niece, who is the intended recipient, will approve of my colour scheme! I got obsessed the second week, refreshing every hour, but she didn’t post til Sunday so I gave myself a talking to and agreed that it was a Sunday project anyway. 🙂
Haha unfortunately I work Sundays so Saturdays work best for me!
