My Sophie is getting really big now and I’m firmly back in love with her again. Here is a couple of pics I snapped this week.
I had 75g approximately of the dark purple I used for the last row so far. I absolutely LOVE it against the cream and near the vibrant pink of the tulips.
But……
I think its impact will be lost when the next row (the Persian stitch) happens and…..
I actually don’t want my ‘diamond/lattice’ detail to be green because I want my Sophie’s Universe to continue to be unique and not too colour choices similar to Dedri’s original one (as lovely as it is!) and I don’t like any of my other colours enough for them to be chosen for it. Guess what colour I really want them to be?
Yes! I want the deep purple I just used.
I have no idea how much yarn the two rows of zig zag are going to use so I’ve frogged the row I just finished and am going to use a different colour next to the cream so I can be sure I’ve kept enought deep purple back for later. If I don’t like how it all turns out I may well frog again. I’m even thinking of experimenting with a little selection of light purple and blue for behind the diamond detail instead of just a block of one colour as the background.
Probably madness. Here’s goes…..
Wool and Love @ The Virtual Yurt 
This is possibly the most beautiful afghan I have ever seen!!!
What a lovely compliment! Thank you so much 🙂
Very beautiful ❤
I’m absolutely stunned at the level of detail in this project. I’m wide-eyed stunned. Beautiful! Awesomely beautiful.
It’s not my pattern, it is written as a CAL by Dedri at Look At What I Made. I do like that mine looks unique due to the colour choices.
The combination of using cream to really highlight your color choices is stunning!
Thankyou, the blanket is really a story of mine and my Nan’s garden and the colours almost chose themselves at some points. I’ve felt very close to her whilst making it and enjoyed some lovely memories. It’s going to be hard to part with it when it’s completed I think!
That’s absolutely stunning!
