My big box of yarn from Fleece and Harmony arrived this past Monday and I have been busy crocheting the first set of popcorns for the garlands. There are three different color combinations: F3 & F1, F3 & F4, and F1& F3. The colors are: F1 - Ultramarine, F3 - Ciel, and F4 - Heliotrope. I did one of each color combination just to see how they would all play together and then went into production mode. I need to make 24 of the F3 & F1 version, 14 of the F3 & F4 version, and 46 of the F1 & F3 version. I am using a magic ring for the first round as I found the chain 4 joined just a bit too fiddly. My centers may be a bit more open as a result, but I have the correct dimensions (4.5 cm across). I ended up using a 3.75 mm hook, although I did also work one with a 4 mm hook. The result with the 4 mm hook was just a bit too floppy, the 3.75 mm hook gives me nice perky popcorns. Most of my ends are woven in, but I haven’t woven in the very last end yet.
