Journey of Sophie Universe CAL 2015

                                 

When i joined this  sophies-universe-cal-2015 sophies-universe-cal-2015 i was bit worry if i could really do this CAL but than i was surprised how Dedri at www.lookatwhatimade.net did very easy to understand with detailed photo tutorial just the one for me. I got confident intensely so i went ahead with the journey of Sophie which is my third blanket. I did get some bumpy road while travelling but than i manage with some tricks without having to turn back. The journey began on 3rd February 2015. OK, are you ready to travel with me ,,,here we go now,,,

                         

Here is the part 1 which went smoothly and i was very happy that i can actually read the pattern.

The yarns i get in my country are imported from India and does not have many choices as in other side of the world. I also didn't get the colors so i use which is closer to the one Dedri used. The yarns i used splits a lot and to top it the Pony hook (3.5mm) is rough which made it even more splits.

Anyway the second journey continued.
