Scandinavian influenced Attic 24 Cosy cal COLOURS

November 11th

I would like to say a huge thank you for the over whelming response to yesterday's post about  my CAL blanket with Lucy at Attic 24.  If you missed the post, you can find it here

Also as it is Remembrance day, I have popped my poppy ring in the corner.  should you wish to make your own follow the link here

I love colour and have been adding as much as I dare to our home before the family tell me it is enough.  But even I needed a colour break and so when my son switched bedrooms with the spare room a couple of weeks ago, before I moved all the spare room furniture back in I decided some redecorating was in order and do you know what?  I didn't choose gorgeous vibrant happy and cheerful colours.  Instead I opted for a Scandinavian influence of calm and natural.  I painted the blue wooden floorboards an off white cream colour and will be slowly adding more and more neutrals into the room.  So Lucy's CAL Cosy blanket came just at the right time for me to add a little personal touch into the bedroom, so it had to be calming and neutral. Not my normal choice!



Lucy recommended using Stylecraft Special DK and having used it before myself was keen to do the same.  I hopped over to one of my favourite wool websites, follow link here , searched through the vast array of colours, finding it very difficult I might add, not putting in beautiful autumnal colours in my basket.  But I held off and stayed focused. 

 

The colours that I finally decided on were: 
Stone, 1710, Parchment 1218, Cream 1005, White 1001
and Silver 1203.

Colours influenced by Scandinavia and nature

So for the first 15 colours the random choices for my CAL with Lucy are as follows:

1  Parchment rows 1 & 2
2  Cream rows 3 & 4
3  Silver rows  5 & 6
4  Parchment rows 7 & 8
5  Stone rows 9 & 10
6 Silver rows 11 & 12
7  White rows 13 & 14
8  Cream rows 15 & 16
9 Parchment row 17 & 18
10  Silver rows 19 & 20
11 Cream rows 21 & 22
12 Stone rows 23 & 24
13 White rows 25 & 26
14  Parchment rows 27 & 28
15 Silver rows 29 & 30


...and it should look something like this!

From top to bottom rows 1-30

All folded and ready for me to pick it up again this evening

Hope this helps those that wanted to know the colour choice of my CAL with Lucy and the order in which I am crocheting.  I do think that I will end up making a second one and it will be in her vibrant autumnal colours, I just cannot resist!  Lucy has kindly said she likes these colours herself and finds them calming and may add them to her CAL gallery on Sunday!!!  Link to Lucy's wonderfully easy and perfect for wintery evenings pattern can be found here .
