Charlotte's Universe CAL - Parts 7 and 8

 Hello again,

I have been working steadily on this crochet-a-long, but it seems to be going slowly.  Each round gets bigger and bigger, so it takes longer as well. My time has also been a bit more limited recently, but I am happy with my progress so far.


Last I posted, I talked about Row 68.  I haven't taken very many in-process photos, but I do have a few.  I have kept track of some yarn usage thought. I'll list them here and place photos as I am able.

For row 69 & 70 I was able to continue using the dark purple. 

                Row 70 used 47.7 grams of dark purple.

 Row's 71 &72 were done in Leaf Green and used 64.1 grams of yarn.

Row 73 was done in a Lavender yarn, and used 78.1 grams.

Row 74 was done in a variegated yarn that had pink and browns in it, and used up 42 grams.

Row 75 used a medium tan yarn, and used 82.5 grams



Row 76 used the leaf green yarn again and used 25.9 grams.


You can see in the above photo that I have started Row 77. You are able to see the difference between the Leaf green and the Grass Green.

Row 77 through 81 used the grass green yarn, and used up a total of 188.4 grams of yarn.


Row 82 I changed to Paddy Green yarn.  Used a skein of 61.98 grams, and started on a second skein in the middle of Row 83 using a skein that had 80.34 grams in it.  I haven't finished that skein yet, but soon.  I am sure I will have to go into another paddy green skein before I'm done with this color, as the next few rows in part 9 will be this color before changing to a purple again.

After Part 8 was completed, I took a wide angle shot.  This takes up most of the floor in my living room now. Approx. 5 - 6 feet square (this is a guess, I haven't measured it yet.)
