Still Crocheting Away Here
I've gotten into some color changes on my crochet,scrap blanket now! As the blanket gets bigger and bigger, it eats yarn faster and faster. It's about 18-20 inches square right now (maybe, I haven't measured and I'm not looking at it right now so this is from memory). As before, I don't have a definite size in mind for this, I'll just quit when I run out of yarn that works with the colors I've chosen.
I started with Malabrigo Ultimate Sock in Sabiduria, followed by Dream in Color Smooshy in My Fair Lady, Sweet Georgia Yarns Tough Love Sock in Mink, and Madelinetosh Twist Light in Kitten (which is photographing much lighter than it is in person). I'm not really doing anything special when I run out of a color. When I get to the last six inches or so of what I'm using, I start the next color and crochet over the ends. There's no thought or planning as to where I change colors, it just happens when I run out. If I was only using two or three colors that might look weird, but I think with as many colors as I have pulled out for this blanket, and the fact that they blend into a fade of some kind, it's going to work. Fingers crossed!
