Summer Starghan: Lemon Meringue

Many years ago (probably four, closer to five) my hubs dared to make a starghan (an afghan in the shape of a star). He went on to say that he didn't think I would because it involved stitches I had never done, and was thus totally new to me. I set out to prove him wrong, and did it rightly so.

I have decided to revisit this pattern and redo it with summer colors that remind me of pie, well sort of like pie. So Wednesday ended with my fingers wrapped in Banana Berry by Red Heart Yarns from their Super Saver line. The other two colors are Bright Yellow and Aran, both from the same line. I've used an H hook (US8, 5.5mm) in case anyone wants to know. And, if you would like to follow along, here is the link to the pattern: clicky.

Rounds 1-4 are done. I must say that I  was a little lost at first, but after a bit of searching, I found some helpful videos on YouTube.

Until tomorrow.

Wool-Eater: Day 1

I thought I would begin with the oblong version, but the beginning section was a little tedious to work considering I have never done this stitch before. So I'm going with the original square version.

My materials list:
H hook (5.00mm)
Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Aran, Coffee, and Turqua
Large eye blunt needle
Patience

The terminology is in Australian format. So all DTRs are actually TRs and all DCs are actually SCs and a cluny is a cluster.

As of the moment of this posting I have one complete section done.

Until tomorrow.

Wool-Eater CAL with Sarah London

I'm so late to this party, but I am happy to join along. Sarah London is hosting a CAL (crochet-a-long) of her famous Wool-Eater blanket (so named because it eats up yarn as it goes) on her blog here. There you will find instructions for the square version and the oblong version of the blanket. She has also posted the schedule she will be following as she goes. I am wavering from that schedule by posting on Mondays instead of Wednesdays. My notes will be posted here and in my Ravelry project page.
