Wow, it's again been a long time between posts. I have completed three parts of the Charlotte's Universe CAL. It's now through Part 13. !!
It's getting so big! It will fit on our Queen sized bed, with enough to hand over the sides a little too.
Last I told you, I had finished Row 95.
On Row 96, I continued with white, using 69g.
After this row, I weighed the afghan, and it's 2300 grams right now! That is over 4200 yards ! And I still have more to go!
Row 97 & 98 was more white and used 124 grams in these two rows together.
Row 99 & 100 was more Paddy Green. Used 131 grams.
Rows 101, 102, 103 I used Orchid (light purple). These flowers took 224.7 grams.
Rows 104 through 107 was more Paddy Green. 238.4 grams.
Rows 108 and 109 are white again. Used 95.3 grams.
Here a photo at about this point.
See that nice row of purple flowers ? I like the design, but it leaves these large holes ... which I don't like. Good thing this will be a bed spread and will have a quilt underneath it.
On Rows 110 & 111, I was back to the light purple (Orchid) color. Used 109.2 grams.
This was the end of Part 12. At the end of this round, the corners were empty as the preceeding rows did not fill in the corners. Part 13 will fill in the corner triangles.
Here's what it looked like at this point.
If you add up the weight at this point it comes to 3222.6 grams which is approximately 5914 yards !
Wowza! It certainly fills my lap while I am working on it.
I continued and have finished the corner triangles. I tried to use up some of the yarn from the inside rounds, as I had small amounts of those left, and I wanted to leave my larger yardage yarns for the outside border.
so... here we go on the triangles (Part 13).
Row 112 & 113 is "Roses" - a hot pink color - used 9.1 grams for the 4 corners.
Row 114 is Lilac - used 8.9 grams
Row 115 is Grass Green - 10.3 grams for all 4 corners.
Row 116 is Amethyst (dark purple) and used 13.7 grams for all four corners.
Rows 117 - 119 used a really dark Green (no label for this one, but it is darker than Paddy Green). This used 33.1 grams.
Row 120 used a tan (Buff) color yarn, nd used 17.4 grams.
Row 121 used "Warm Brown" and 20.1 grams.
and that completed the corner triangles. - 3,335.2 grams of afghan so far.
I will be starting part 14 soon, in the next day or two I think. This will probably be white or green. I am thinking one row of white, and then green and then purple again. We'll have to see how things go. I think I have enough white to do one more round, and then that will be it for the white. But I have a bit of the Orchid color left, and I think 2 skeins of Paddy Green. So much of the last borders will be Green.
I like to think mom would have liked this pattern. She was always a fan of purple. :)
