Crochet-Along Clue 5: Spoilers and Photos

[Jenny62]

My mom and I are doing this together as a healthy alternative to going out to lunch! But between her vacation travels and my work schedule, we are a little behind... So, going back to clue #2 and #3, my #3 came out a bit larger than #2. I read a lot of comments on clue #2 coming out smaller than the template, but the general consensus was that it was OK... that when we block and put them together, it should all come out OK. I kept the same hook (size H) and tension for all the motives, but now I'm having second thoughts about clue #2 coming out smaller. Can anyone help or give me advice?

Clue 5 in Colonial Beige. I think this week's clue looks like a spiderweb

:inlove: My first afghan colors. Bright Pink is A, Light Pink is B, Purple is C, Black is D. MC is the variegated Purple in the middle. Can't wait to see it put together.

I rather like the idea of using a variegated yarn for the main color. Then using all of the colors and tones within that yarn as the solids. I didn't think about doing that for this CAL.....however I am doing something similar on a ripple blanket that I'm also making for my granddaughter. I'll post a picture of it on one of the other threads when I get it a bit further along.

Add me to the list of people using Birch White as the MC. I am using all Waverly on this in the Simplicity line. My colors are Birch White, Aqua Frost, Greek Sea, Colonial Beige and Bark. They all blend so well and very soothing colors. I am quite pleased with this CAL afghan so far. Can't wait to see it finished!

Ooh, I like your color choices! Mine are a little similar...I am loving these green/blues!

Wow this one is easy enough you can do an Octagon afghan with just increase numbers every row.

That's true, and you could change colours each row too.

I agree. I do prayer shawls and lapghans for one of our local hospital's ministry and this pattern could easily be modified to work into a lapghan. I can't wait to get started on this clue; I've been travelling and will finally have time tonight to get started.

I finished 4 so far...I haven't blocked yet but here is one of the four...

Nankaeia - these are going to look so lovely together; purple has always been my favorite color because it is so bright and cheerful!

I have my octagons done and I didn't run out of yarn either. Here is a picture of them. The color is sun drift.

Nice job!! Sundrift is my MC as well, so now I know what my octagons are going to look like.

Don't you love this color? It is the only one I didn't change my mind 15 times about using. I picked it right off as my MC. If I knew my other half wouldn't have a total hissy, I would want this on my bedroom walls.

After looking at all the pictures, mine came out looking like everyone elses. The only thing that concerns me is that it makes me feel like I'm the only one who is using the Birch White as my MC! I hope this makes it look pretty enough to give to my little girl!

You have a friend. I too am using birch white for the main color. Colors Mauve Glow, Blue Gown, and Greek Sea for colors A, B and C and Butter for contrast. I wish I had a young daughter to give it to, but this one is for me. I can't remember the last time I made something for me except for my dish cloths.
