Around the Bases CAL week 6

13 September 20156 July 2020 It's all in a Nutshell Crochet

We have arrived at week 6 of Around the Bases CAL, a week you are either going to love or going to hate. We are working like a zillion back post single crochets! Although it is a lot of work the result is lovely because it turns the stitch forward giving a lovely edge. Here the video showing how to make week 6.

My ATB

I used a combination of dark and light colors for the bpsc because it gives a shadowy feel to my blanket. I have a spring/summer theme going, but even under the most amazing flowers there are shadows….

For my ATB I am using a 3.5mm hook and Scheepjes Linen Soft yarn in the following colors

round 24 – 601 chocolate
round 25 – 613 ecru
round 26 – 601 chocolate

If you don’t like the beige, you can easily substitute it for white or cream. I still have quite a lot of this yarn left after the Flight of Fancy CAL and as it fits with the chocolate color like a dream I use it.

Next week will be a bit more relaxed. Be sure to share your blanket(s) in the Facebook group CAL – Crochet A Long and/or Ravelry group Around the Bases.

Hi I am loving the look of your piece and would love to do my ATB in the same design and colours.

I haven’t started yet as I am waiting to receive my order from Deramores. I have ordered all Linensoft up to week six.

As it takes up to 3-4 weeks for my orders to be delivered to Australia, I was wondering if you could post the rest of the colours used by you so that I can order ahead and not get too far behind in the CAL.

Thank you.

Kind Regards

Deb
