Sophie's Universe CAL 2015

[ImmaFreek]

One of mine so far. I also skipped the crab stitch row.

[VikingRunnerGirl]

Ooh, I like that with the variegated! It gives it such a soft look. I haven't done anything with mine since the cat spilled milk on the yarn bag. >_< I mean, I got it cleaned up, but I've been working on other stuff instead!

[katyallen815]

ooh im likimg that!! so pretty!!! 

 

 

   my cat doesnt like milk viking,but he is always very curious and tries to check it out, if I leave my glass alone for long,lol

I have no business planning another stinking project, but I just can't stand myself thinking about this one! It's going to be a while till I can start, but I'm trying to figure out my colors... That is THE HARDEST part for me, especially needing so many. 

[greyhoundgrandma]

I've been really tempted by this one, too. The many different colors are so pretty, but Holly's looks great in the more coordinated colors, too. I think that is probably the route I will take if/when I get around to it.

These are all so pretty and I've printed out all the instructions and have them in a file folder.  I seen a post somewhere (maybe her blog) of someone doing this in a solid off white color and it was AMAZING!  It REALLY made the stitches pop....as much as I love all the beautiful colors, when I try this, I think I'm doing a solid color.

I have 8 or 9 rounds to go, unless I decide to do the extra border, and then it's several more. I haven't taken a picture of her in awhile, though.

I was just looking through the cal parts. Blocking it seemed to be suggested a number of times. Is it really necessary for it to look good? I hate blocking, especially something this big.

Hmmm, I hope not. I'm not keen on blocking either. I usually just try to power through those times!

[Gardener]

Here's mine through part 5. I haven't worked on it much in a while. I'm going to try to make mine toddler size, rather than do the whole thing. I'm also hoping to get by without blocking.

[greyhoundgrandma]

NIce colors--very pretty!

[howieann]

I haven't blocked mine at all.

 

 

[VikingRunnerGirl]

Those are both amazing! I love the sherbet looking colors (I just had sherbet for dessert, so it's on the brain ), and it looks fantastic in the blues. Monochromatic schemes can be so gorgeous!

[Gardener]

Holly, your colors are beautiful together.

 

VikingRunnerGirl, mine is made from stash, so it has a pretty loose color scheme. Sherbet looking actually defines it pretty well. I've seen a few made in a single color that look really spectacular. All the texture in the afghan really stands out in those.

 

I haven't worked on mine in several weeks. Hope I can remember where I was in the pattern!

[VikingRunnerGirl]

Gardener, I think it's been a couple of months since I touched mine. It's been on my mind a lot the last few days, maybe this evening I'll see if I can finally finish section 2!

[howieann]

I'm getting close... 4 rounds to go on the border... but they take a lot of time (and yarn!) now. And it's getting so hot to work with.

[greyhoundgrandma]

Can't wait to see the end results!

[VikingRunnerGirl]

I can't believe you're almost done! So exciting!

[howieann]

Here she is!

[Gardener]

Holly, that is gorgeous. Congrats on finishing.

[greyhoundgrandma]

It's so pretty, Holly! Great colors! How big is it?

[yarnscrapper]

Stunning!!!!

[VikingRunnerGirl]

Incredible! 

[howieann]

Thanks! I think she's about a 6 foot square

[katyallen815]

gorgeous!
