2012 Bernat Mystery CAL and KAL

[Braxxi]

I got most of my yarn today! Gotta love it when the company splits your order into 2 boxes and they don't arrive the same day! I got part of each person's colors today...the rest won't come until Tuesday. I'll post pics when it all gets here.

[Joyfulghans]

Seeing all the beautiful color choices everyone else has picked out motivated me to finally figure out my own colors! btw - I love everyone else's picks!

 

I decided to do both the CAL and the KAL Mystery Afghans. The color choices reflect the colors in my mother's living room. She bought new couches this year and they look naked without a warm, inviting afghan to cuddle with, so she'll be the recipient of both mystery afghans once they're finished.

 

My color choices are from my Red Heart SS stash (:sofunnyOkay, not really a stash, more like inventory).

 

For the CAL:

MC- Light Sage

Contrast A- Warm Brown

Contrast B- Hunter Green

Contrast C- Coffee

Contrast D- Claret

 

For the KAL:

Color A- Light Sage

Color B- Coffee

Color C- Warm Brown

Color D- Dark Sage

Color E- Burgundy

 

Now, I can't wait for the first clues!

I'm definitely IN!! I've never done a CAL and this sounds like so much fun!! It will be a great way to use up a big chunk of my stash too!! Now time to go pick colors...

[Joyfulghans]

Very Pretty!

 

Nice color choices!!!!!!

 

Thank you! Hurry up Bernat! We need the first clue!

This yarn is already calling to me!

The waiting is the hard part!!! Still have to decide if I'm going to go with one color- or re-look at my stash when I get home from visiting my DD!

[Abigail1280]

I've heard that Michael's has yarn on sale this week, so I'm gonna try to get over there and check it out.

[moonspinners]

This is my first mystery afghan project and I can't wait to start. I ordered the Waverly yarn in Bark, Colonial Beige, Butter and Turtle Green, which should be arriving any day now. I'll use white from my stash as the main color.

[kittyloverdeb]

I have my yarn and am patiently (or maybe not) waiting for this to begin! I'm going with pinks and greens with aran as my main color.

[sahm2g1b]

I've got my missing color ordered & it should be here in a few days (maybe first of next week). I can't wait to show you all the colors I've chosen. They remind me of spring!

I can't wait to see them! Spring is my favorite season

[MrsForest]

I'll join. I will probably get my colors on payday or even when we get tax money back. Hopefully by then my headache will have gone away.

I love your color choices

 

Thank you!

 

By the way, everyone's color choices sound gorgeous! I can't wait for this to begin! Although, once it begins, I'm sure we'll all be even more anxious to see the finished afghans! :cheer:clap

 

We just can't be satisfied!

 

in hand, ready to !

I was thinking the same thing!! I was going to do aran as the main, greens, and either pinks or purples. Maybe I'll do purples because you're doing pinks

[moonspinners]

Ahhh! My yarn arrived today! Now comes the hard part...waiting for the first clue.

[imanurse55]

I saw on the Bernat blog that they posted about doing a gauge swatch- both knit and crochet---just sayin' in case anyone wants to check it out.

 

Have a good day!

 

Still contemplating whether I'm doing one color or not.....:think Final decision will probably come once the first clue is up!!

[nicolep]

Guage swatch?!?! Woo!!!!!!!!!!!! It's something to do with the CAL, right?!?

 

I'm still trying to decide whether I want to do the KAL or not. I'm definitely in on the CAL though. My knitting is so slow, I'd never get that thing done I'm afraid.

 

Hmm.... I couldn't find the guage info. I'll have to do some more peeking later. Thanks for the info, Joanne!

Thank you! No wonder I couldn't find it. I figured it would have been in its own thread not buried in among a bunch of stuff.

 

I also quickly looking for a search function, but didn't see it right away. I was kind of in a hurry.

[marpan79]

I still need to assess my stash to pick out some colors and go shopping with my sister for her to get yarn, I don't think I have enough to cover us both But, you never know

[MrsForest]

Picking out my colors today. I'm doing this as a christmas present so wonder if I should stick to a holiday theme or just an everyday? Hmmm....

[MrsForest]

Okay so I picked out my colors.

 

Blue Gown (Main Color)

Breath of Blue, Mauve Glow, Fresh Flower, Princess (Contrasting Colors)

[apriltime]

I am going to do this,but I still need to make up my mind about the colors and I am thinking of using encore because I can get that at my local store. Has anyone used the waverly yarn? How does it work up?
