Crochet Catch up July my C2C Blanket

Crochet ‘catch up’ rather than crochet design is all I ever seem able to achieve these days. It is Summer here in the UK and I think perhaps Autumn and Winter are my favourite crochet seasons. I prefer soft woolly yarn to cotton and wool is much too hot to crochet with in the summer.

Crochet has been sparse lately!

I guess I am working up to admit to you that there has not been much hooking going on around in these parts lately!

Except this one, a corner to corner, mentioned here (of which I have completed 2 corners) made from Caron Cakes in Turquoise tones…

It is intended for my son and I plan on edging it with a few masculine looking stitches.

 

The Crochet Details 

Using a size 5mm hook and so far, each quarter has used up exactly two Caron cakes each. Therefore, if I had bought all the yarn in the UK it would have cost me £40.00 in total so far. However, as I have just returned from Florida I made sure to visit Michael’s, an American craft store (a bit like Hobbycraft but better) and purchased 2 cakes for $4.99 each. I wish I had bought more!

I have also just found all the colours on sale from The Wool Warehouse

 

…if I had bought all the yarn in the UK it would have cost me £40.00 in total so far…

 

It looks as if this blanket when completed will cost me over £100 and yes, it is very large and yes, it is handmade, but I am simply not used to spending that amount of money on crochet projects shoes yes but not yarn!

I do hope when it is finally finished that my boy likes and uses it? I think he will I recently found the quarter I made in Florida on his bed!

 

The Plan

In my head, the plan goes something like this…complete one c2c quarter monthly. This way I spread the cost and have a project for at least five/six months if I add in a month to join it and a month to work the edging.
