Last Tuesday I finally started working on this project in earnest. I have a design, with basic (frame) colors picked.
And I have bought a pallet of yarn in colors that I like that more or less corresponds to the colors in my design.
So last Tuesday morning I pulled out skeins and started arranging them into colorways and came up with the color scheme for the lower left corner.
I’m not sure if the first two pentagon circles that I made will make it into the blanket now, but that is okay. So far I’ve only been working the Pentagon 1 pattern, which has double crochets for round two. There is also a Pentagon 2 pattern that has puffs for round two and the pattern recommends that you try to use them in roughly equal proportions. But when I made a Pentagon 2 and started to join it to one of my Pentagon 1 circles I just didn’t like it. I’ve been putting off working the Pentagon 2 pattern because I’m just not a big fan of puffs. I’m thinking about just not doing any of the Pentagon 2 pattern, and leaving all of the texture for the flowers. Now that I’ve worked all the pentagons in the bottom left corner I’ve started working my way to the right, where I need to transition to the purple frame color. So I’ve pulled out my purples and added them to my color lineup. I’m going to keep the interior colors the same, I think, and just change the frame color. We’ll see how it works out. There is a lot of “figure it out as you go” with this blanket, which means that I’m taking things slow and letting ideas marinate and inspiration come as it will.
