Crochet-Along Clue 5

[gadgetgeek]

I finished clue 5. Did you get the Bernat e-mail with the City Solarium Throw? I wouldn't have given it a second thought if I wasn't doing this crochet- along. I printed it out and said, "Oh. I can do that now." Thanks, CAL.

I haven't gotten that email yet...couldn't find it on Bernat's site either...sounds interesting...

I didn't get the email yet either. And couldn't find the pattern on the website.
But I DID find the pattern here in the forum. Our forum members are in the KNOW!

Thank you for finding the pattern Shandeh! I finished all of my clue 5 motifs and am almost done with my Grand daughter's afghan so I am going to need something else to do!

just finishing up clue 5 or the 3rd blanket. I need to go back and catch up clue 1 and 2 for that one since I didn't decide to do a 3rd until clue 3.... hmmm to work on that today or reward mysel with some Kindle time decisions decisions lol

I decided this week to do a third one also, up to clue 3 on it, which so far is my least favorite, figure I can catch up during one of the catch-up weeks.

Does anyone know how many weeks this is going to last? I have looked everywhere I could think of in the information and can't find it . . . or is that a mystery, too?????

15 weeks. There will be some catch-up weeks and week(s) for seaming.

We have one more set of octagons to make (according to the template we printed off the first week, then next week (7)(not tomorrow) will most likely be a catch up week, following week we will most likely learn the lay out and how to put it together (seaming), which will probably take up I would say 2 weeks (8 & 9), which brings us to week 10. then we have to add a border to the whole thing, maybe another two weeks for that (10 & 11).
Hmmm, I can't squeeze 15 weeks in there? Maybe we have way more down (catch up) weeks or we get to make a couple accessories? Plus isn't Easter in there somewhere? So maybe a full week off will surround Easter?

I have enjoyed looking at everyone's progress in the Spoiler's section and reading the posts in this section, and all I can say is "Great job everyone!" everyone should feel so proud of what they have accomplished.
I am looking forward to tomorrow's clue and hope it is another large motif pattern. I got my "planned" colors all mixed up with the a,b,c,d but that is all right. Tomorrow is also another sort of surprise for me in that I am doing a dog transport and two of the little puppies will be coming to me to foster. That will take most of the day, and I know they will take up a lot of my time after they get here but I love fostering puppies. So I am glad to have some much needed catch up time. Also I have a feeling seaming this together is going to be really, really, really, really slow going for me. I am glad that I am trying to get them blocked as I go because that seems to help so much with -YIKES- the word SEWING them together, but still it will still probably be tedious for me.

I am hoping to avoid "seaming" and use the main color to "crochet" them together making it a bit lacier I'm sure or maybe slip/seam them together using the back loops. I guess it depends on how they reveal the piecing of it!

I am finally caught up and ready for the next clue. YAY

I got through all of clue 1 and I'm on the third clue 2 think that will be it for the night, my fingers are numb

I like those ideas much better than the thought of seaming. I try to stay away from projects that use seaming
I did challenge myself to do this so I could learn a good way to seam. I will have to see once it's revealed...

I was all caught up early last week for both of my CAL blankets, so I started a KAL with my stash yarn to make my mom a birthday blanket. Now I am behind in doing this weeks clue! Go figure! I am thinking since they look so easy I am going to get them in hear and there or maybe on one of our catch-up weeks for the CAL.

One thing I have learned about myself - Knitting takes me ALOT LONGER than crocheting!!!

All done with Clue 5, they all came out the same size!! The only problem is my clue 5s are a tiny bit bigger than the other octogans, hopefully that will be OK!!
