Love it! Great work. :bravo:
Happy knitting and crocheting!!

The two pictures below are of my silly kitty, Callie, "helping" with the layout. She loves to "help" me with my crochet projects. :D I'll post a picture later of my layout idea....after I finish those two missing Clue #3 motifs.

All my yarn projects are CAT SCANNED (by Jasmine, my persian cat) and LAB TESTED (by Shep, my rescued lab-chow mix). :thumbsup: I just call them my Quality Control Department.


Hee hee! Too cute!!!

I give kudos ( :thumbsup:) to others who have posted more than one design....I don't know how you do it. :bravo:



And
Here's what I was able to come up with....


I love doing puzzles and that's what this is to me. :-)

I'm glad you posted your picture. It's a great layout and your colors are nice too. I love seeing other possibilities with all the various colors.

Hi Wingbug,
I like the 1st one best too. I'm amazed at all the possibilities. It will be great to see Bernat's design, but I'm having fun during the meantime.:-)

Oops, this was meant for heather, sorry.

To post a Flickr photo, it's best to use the "Share" button on the Flickr photo page.
Then, click "Grab the HTML/BBCode". Next, click the BBCode button under the block of code.

(our forum uses BB code, instead of HTML)

I usually post the "Medium" size, because it works in forums and blogs very well.

I found your photo, and posted it here, using the steps I mentioned above:

Thanks, Shandeh for posting the picture.

Nice layout, Karen! :bravo:

You could always crochet an extra square, and put it in the center.


I look at all the marvelous propositions .... and now I'm quite sure I'll add a few motives to fit with my colour repartition .... :hrmm:
I'll wait till wednesday to see the "official" blankett, but I have already prepared yarn to do so :scared:

So many possibilities with these motifs! Love looking at them all! I am so excited to see what Bernat has in store for us!
So curious if we came close or if they have a LO in mind that none of us had even thought of yet! The finished measurements are totally throwing me off the trail.
Two more days. So someone may still stumble upon Bernat's LO. So keep them coming!
Now I really should go and finish my motifs for my second CAL so I can get them both put together this week.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
