WIP Archives - Erini's Corner

CALs or Crochet Along Projects are just my favorite.
I find myself learning a lot as I work on these projects.
Although I love all the colors used in CALs, you can say I am a “less is always more” kind of person. My projects are always of 2 colors unless I’m working with a cake or variegated yarn.

Currently, I am working on Rozetta, a project by Scheepje’s yarn.
I was hesitant about it at the beginning. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the pattern but I wasn’t sure I would be committed to finishing it (you know how sometimes you lose your “crojo”).

So I looked into my stash and found some Caron Simply Soft yarn. I tried the first part, which is made in tapestry crochet technique, and loved it.
But, unfortunately, I didn’t have enough yarn to get me through and my local Michael’s seems to be discontinuing the brand.

So back to my stash again, I found 2, almost full, skeins of Pound of Love yarn by Lion brand from previous Christmas projects. So you guessed it right, red and green it is.
I started earlier this year and was going pretty consistent with it but as it got bigger I found it hard to accomplish a lot in one day. A round would take an hour to finish.
Currently, I am working on the corners which is part 8 of 11. Almost there 😃

Since we are in a lock down, I have high hopes to finish all my current WIPs and sort the rest of my stash 😎.

And speaking of lock down, I wish you and your family a safe stay at home.

Till next time,
Erini

Hi there!

Hope you are all staying safe 😷.

My family is staying home as most of you. My LO is bored and at his young age, he can’t really comprehend why we are not allowed to go out and meet friends for play dates. He is definitely happy about the fact that there is no school for now but mommy is not 😌.

I had to find a way to get my mind off all the crazy stuff going around us these days and nothing can do this better than starting a new crochet project 🧶.

A while ago I bought Bernat® premium worsted yarn in coral blue and red based on my boy’s request to have a Spiderman-themed blanket. They have been sitting in my stash for sometime. So I decided to go on Ravelry and check some easy patterns.

I am not a big fan of working with dc stitches only.. it’s not my favorite stitch. But with all the stress we are going through, I didn’t want a pattern where I have to go check and read each row to move on. I was looking for something easy to memorize and can work it on when I’m half asleep at the end of the day.

I came across a superhero dream catcher afghan free pattern and decided to give it a try.
I like how this is coming altogether. I enjoy working with Bernat® yarn; soft texture and reasonable price which is an important point to consider when working on big projects.

My current issue now is that I had bought a skein of each color and the pattern calls for 2 of each. I am done with the blue one and currently working the last couple of rows in red till I get more yarn. Now the question is; when will I be able to get out and buy more yarn?

Let’s pray this situation comes to an end soon. And I can’t leave without sending kudos to all the physicians, nurses, paramedics, researchers and grocery store employees who are out there working in such circumstances.

Take care, stay calm and crochet on!
