Wool-Eater CAL Update 04: 14 rounds!

Yesterday evening I finished round number 14!

Last weekend I stayed at my parents house. I always bring something I can do so that my parents don't have to entertain me 24/7. This time I brought my wool-eater blanket. My mom loves it! She is so in love with the pattern and couldn't stop telling me how amazing it is! Well, maybe I should make her a little something using this pattern....mh.... :)

Wool:
Round 11 - Schachenmayr Bravo 8284 (mint)
Round 12 - Schachenmayr Bravo 8289 (fuchsia)
Round 13 - Schachenmayr Bravo 8291 (denim heather)

Wool-Eater CAL Update 02: 6 Rounds So Far

I already hooked the first few rounds for my wool-eater blanket!

Wool:
Round 1 - Schachenmayr Bravo 8303 (purple)
Round 2 - Schachenmayr Bravo 8246 (pine)
Round 3 - Schachenmayr Bravo 8289 (fuchsia)

Round 5 - Schachenmayr Bravo 8201 (yellow)
Round 6 - Schachenmayr Bravo 8195 (teal)

Wool-Eater CAL Update 01: Preparation

I will try to post updates on my wool-eater blanket on a weekly basis (like Sarah suggested in her blog). I kicked off the wool-eater project a couple of hours ago by having a look through my stash...

...and picked some colours for the first few rows.
