Crochet-Along Clue 7 (Week 8): Spoilers and Photos

[Shandeh]

here is my first one, I finished seaming it last night after having to frog the last row...

Lovely work!

For the 2012 CAL I made a baby blanket using the first three clues. I used Bernat Softee Baby in Soft Lilac and Bernat Baby Coordinates in Soft Mauve for a monochromatic blanket. When it came to assembling it, I decided to use a braid stitch in white for a bit of contrast. As far as edging rounds, that has yet to be decided. Maybe white with a row of Soft Lilac in it.

Since I made two afghans in the 2010 CAL, there was no need to make a full-size afghan in this CAL. This shows one of my 2010 CAL afghans + pillow with the 2012 CAL baby blanket.

So glad you have shown us all your Bernat Mystery Blankets! Great job on improvising!

The patterns in the CAL reminded me of flowers and the sun. So I made a sun and flowers design using stash yarns and decorated the drab partition walls at my office. Green ribbon was used for stems & grass. Of course, then I had to have a butterfly. A hummingbird was added later. The ladies at work really like this. It would be easy to make an afghan later using the flowers.

That is so sweet! You are such a creative person.

Hi everyone: I am posting my first post to the CAL forum. I just finished the KAL and was excited to finish the CAL. This is my first CAL. I think I am a better knitter than crocheter, but I have increased my crocheting skills on this CAL. I am calling my CAL, Daisies in a Meadow.

Very nice work! Love those colors.

[Shandeh]

super excited i am all caught up and ready for the border next week.

Congratulations!

I have finished stitching together my 1st CAL!

For my second, I have decided that I am going to borrow boyd121's layout design with an additional motif.
I went out this evening and bought a bright orange color. I also am going to use crochetfanatic's motif suggestion as my 4th motif. I am really liking the colors. My MC for this one is white.

Wow! That is going to be such a bright, happy blanket!

I have loved learning so many new things during this CAL. Here is my plan for the finished project. I have only switched a few things around in an attempt to spread the colors out abit. So far I am a 1/4 of the way through the seaming but am looking forward to curling up with it to read a book or watch a movie

Before I seam - input please! Which do you prefer?
1. The official CAL layout

2. Stripes! (The white clue #1 square would have to be replaced by a red one.)

My preference tends towards the stripes, but my husband seems to think that either would be good.

I prefer 1. the official CAL layout You hit the jackpot with your colours! I love the dark main colour in the background (if I'm too late and you already did the second one, that is nice too.)
