Cathedral Window-CAL

hseger · December 18, 2008

Julie Wow the stained glass effect looks great!!! I love that. DH thinks I should make another one I might have to with colors like that.

There hasn't been a post for this CAL for awhile . . thought I'd bump it up.

How's everyone doing on their Cathedral Window?

Flia · January 30, 2009

Thank's for reminding me of this, one of my pending projects.

Tia · January 30, 2009

Mine's been put on hold. But I'm definitely going to do it!

This CAL is still open and going. Just post a question anytime and someone will help you.

I'm sure some people are still working on theirs. I might even attempt another one in thread so I can hang it on my wall. :think

I had this pattern YEARS ago and didn't do it. It came out when I first learned to crochet and thought I'd never ever be able to do something like this. Now, I think I may be up for the challenge. Here's a link for buying the pattern at Annie's Attic

Hi Everyone! Sorry I almost never post here, more of a lurker. I see a lot of Cathedral Rose Window afghans here that I've seen in the Ravelry notebooks. I have not uploaded any of my actual pics yet (maybe tonight, I hope) but thanks to this CAL I was able to plan my colors a lot easier. Here is a picture of my color choices:

The actual yellow and orange I am using is much brighter. I'll update when I get those pictures uploaded. Right now I am a couple rows past the first popcorn row (can't wait for the big row of that....not). The pattern is addictive!

I am making it to auction off to send my daughter on a trip through the People to People Student Ambassador program next Summer. I am actually hoping to make at least two by then. You can read more about my progress at my blog too.

Thanks everyone for all the inspiration and the helpful links. I actually added the Crochetville Notes page to the Ravelry pattern page for this pattern....so helpful! :ty

Oh, please, please, pretty please start up again! I'm too much of a coward to try it (boooooo!) but I LOVE looking at your photos! Your ghans are SO pretty! :hook

HappyHooking · February 5, 2009

I uploaded my progress so far last night. :yay

I started working on the peaks last night, but after reading the three rounds a few times and writing it out with symbols I think I'm going to end up with my own way of working that part up. I've been doing pretty good at following the directions to this point, except for the triangles in which I followed the notes you guys posted (thank you again!). I'm typically not so good with following directions. I am more of a visual do as you see kinda person.

I hope anyone else working on this posts too. I think someone posted somewhere in this huge thread that this kind of CAL was an ongoing thing because people are constantly inspired by the work posted here. So if you decide to start up too keep up posted! There were a couple people on the CP:) list that said they were inspired to start one too.

Good idea, maybe I'll try it in fingering weight wool to make it small enough to hang on a wall.

Looking good, HappyHooking!

I just bought this pattern and have to get yarn for it. This is a BIG undertaking for me and I might have it done by the time my son gewts married...he is 18 months old...lol!!

hseger · February 8, 2009

That looks great Happyhooking!

oooo yeah Julie fingerweight would be good too. :think hmmm I may have to make a couple more after all :lol

lavenderwings · February 9, 2009

Ok I am diving in here and I started making this lovely afghan last night I have 5 of the pentagons and the octagon done so far. So far so good I have had to frog a lot but I finally got it figured out.

HappyHooking · February 9, 2009

Thanks hseger! Over the weekend I "finished" the 16 heptagons...still need the sc of black around each one. After I get those all attached I'll post another pic.

Lavenderwings, hope you can post pics too....love to see the color choices.

shana0923 · February 10, 2009

:eekHoly Moly:eek I just read this entire thread..all 187 pages...last night and today. I loved seeing all the pics and reading the joys and frustrations of working on this magnificent ghan. I bought my yarn though so as soon as I finish Blaze's valentine treatbag/backpack then I will begin on this. I am so excited but scared too! Someone tell me I can do this. :coo

lavenderwings · February 10, 2009

You can do it Shana I am scared too but I have got the first section done but I need to sew it up eepp!!! I have pics I just need to get them on the computer.

shana0923 · February 10, 2009

Thanks Lavender!! Trying to keep this thread active so we can remember it! We gotta keep this going because I am sure I will have many questions once I get started.

I picked Monet, Pale yellow and Orchid along with black for my colors. What do you think?

lavenderwings · February 11, 2009

Sounds nice I tried to get a close to the original colors but instead of gemstone I used bonbon its more pink than the gemstone but still pretty. I have took pics I just need to upload them I hope to do that today.

I agree we need to keep this CAL on the first page so keep posting everyone.

shana0923 · February 11, 2009

Bon Bob is pretty! I bet that will be beautiful. I like the original but I like lighter more muted colors. I have always loved the Monet print but didn't know what to make with it so now I am using it for this. I hope it turns out like what is in my head...lol!

shana0923 · February 12, 2009
