WOOL-EATER CAL :: WEEK 2
I managed to add a few extra rounds over the course of the week, making a total of ’8 rounds’ worked. Yay, I’m ahead of schedule by 2 whole rows! I’ve loved popping over to our Flickr group and seeing all the fabulous colour combinations, I think we’re all off to a fabulous start!
The schedule for this week is:
- January 18th – 25th . . . . . . . . work 4 rounds.
I’ve been enjoying working this pattern in the oblong, basically I’ve just been reaching into the stash basket and adding which ever coloured yarn I pull out first. This is my favourite method when working scrap blankets!

Wow, the oblong one looks great!
I myself decided to go for a square blanket. So far I managed to crochet 10 rounds. Updates on my blanket can be found here: http://paperwoolyarn.blogspot.com/search/label/Crochet-Along
or at Flickr and Ravelry
I am a bit late but today I will start the project.
This is stunning Sarah… I don’t think I have seen that pattern before.. it is conjuring up all kinds of ideas in my head!

I love it!!! Don’t have the time right now to jump in, but really love the idea and the stitch, I will definitely make one one day…
I love your blanket and the way you randomly pick the yarns!… I’m only on the 5th row but I’m gonna try and do the 6th tonight. I’m finding it quite challenging to keep up but I’m really enjoying watching my blanket grow. As soon as I’ve finish the 6th I’ll post another photo. Maggie xx prettyflowersinthewindow.blogspot.com
I have done 4 rows. Doing the square one first and then will try the oblong one. Using greens.
Lovely!
What a great idea for yarn scraps.
Have a happy.
Wow!!! Beautiful. Still afraid to start on mine. So many other things to finish.
Wow…this looks fabulous. X
Your blanket is looking great! I, too, am using a variety of yarns I would like to use up. I just posted about mine here: http://grammaritascrochetetc.blogspot.com/2012/01/wool-eater-cal-week-2.html
Love this idea and am loving watching everyone’s blankets growing! Yours is gorgeous!
Hey Sarah, I am doing your crochet along too and have posted one picture so far. Your crochet photos always looks stunning. Do you block each piece before you take your photo? Surely your crochet is not this perfect! Is it ok to steam block (on the ironing board) as you go (because you want nice pictures) or is it best to just block at the finish considering it is such a big project? As I progress with the work and different types of wool (all the same ply though) my rug takes on some unusual shapes and makes my work look a bit wonkie. Do you have any advice about photos of works in progress? I just HAVE to love you! Jenny.
Your blanket looks great. I love how you do that randomly. I am using variety of yarns too. I completed my 6 rounds last week. Started on this weeks. Blogged mine here:

Do you reach in with your eyes open or closed?
Love how your blanket is looking! I may have to start a stash-buster as soon as I’m done with this one

I have to try this pattern! Lovely work.
I enjoy your oblong pattern and the stich.
It grows quiet easily, my only real doubt is about the colors i should use.

I love your wonderful colors
This looks AMAZING. I’m going to try this and make some pillows when I finish the blanket that never ends.
I’ve started my Wool-Eater Blanket just last week. I had to wait for my purchase of suitable yarn, but it arrived last week and i’m off too.
So far i’ve crocheted 7 and a half rounds and still going strong..
