Virus Shawl with gradient yarn

I cought a virus...very, very bad ;-)

For the shawl I used gradient yarn from wollfactory.de (which is a german company where you can create your own gradient style or choose from many others ;.) the site is in german, but you can contact the owner if you want to order...( I know, many of you asked...) I used 2 skeins of 5 ply " Sonnenuntergang " (sunset) 1 skein was 200 g/600 m and the other one was 250 g/750 m... It has a total size of appr. 2 m x1,4 m

Ich habe mir einen Virus eingefangen, einen sehr schlimmen...

Ich habe für das Tuch Verlaufsgarn der firma Wollfactory.de genommen. ( Es ist eine deutsche Firma, wo man sich selber die Farbverläufe zusammenstellen lassen kann, oder aus vielen Farbkombinationen wählen kann.
Ich habe 2 Bobbel 5fädr. Garn gekauft. Farbe: Sonnenuntergang.
1. Bobbel 200 g/600 m
2. Bobbel 250 g /750 m
Das Tuch hat die Maße: ca 2x1,4 m

 

Finally done...my Sophie's Universe...

My blanket has been done for a while and in use already so I wasn't able to take pictures :

I had to order more yarn than calculated...but it was worth it...it is 100 % pure whool I ordered from Turkey, and it is very soft...and as you can see only in grey...fits perfectly onto my armchair... I love how all the details, like flowers pop up so nicely.
The size of the blanket is 142x142 cm.

Here are some pictures of the WIP:

It has been a great experience to crochet a long something that big, without knowing where it will lead...here you can find the complete pattern from Dedri: http://www.lookatwhatimade.net/crafts/yarn/crochet/sophies-universe-cal-2015/sophies-universe-cal-2015-information/

yeah ....it`s springtime...

This is not crochet related... but I love these magnolia blossoms...

It is an about 90 years old magnolia tree at my grandmothers garden...The tree used to be much bigger, but a few years ago almost 2/3 of the branches broke down, after heavy snowing, with the leaves still on. The last picture shows the full tree in its origin.

Isn`t it beautiful? Imagine standing under it with the fragrances from thousands of blossoms :-)

new huge project: CAL 2015 Sophie`s universe...

It is on my WIP list right now... It will come out beautiful...
