She released the pattern today, and seeing the color choices of each tester is fun. It looks like each person visited the beach in a different season. Mine looks more spring/summery, a few look more autumnal, and a few are wintery.
The textures in this blanket are amazing, and I learned how to do tapestry mosaic for the beak section (using an additional color of yarn in a row. Mosaic is worked one color per row normally). I’m glad I got to test this one!
Alas, you make me wish that yarn wasn’t my kryptonite. This is so cute! I had to check out her other designs. They are adorable. She is lucky to have such a talented person testing her patterns.
I love this so much and so I’m thinking of making one. I learned mosaic crochet inspired by this.
I have a question, I’m half thinking of bringing this as a project on a holiday I’m going on in August. It’s 10 days, so I’m wondering how many colours you used, I’m flying with a budget airline, so weight is a consideration, so I don’t want to bring a million colours .
And the other thing I’m wondering is how much yarn for each colour?
I used four colors total for mine. I used a white for the background. I used two cakes of Lion Brand Mandala for the rainbow color, a little bit of orange for the beaks, and some black for the puffin section. Here are my project notes.
Ah, that makes sense that you used the mandala yarn, I thought that was a whole collection of different colours, were the two mandala yarns different colourways?
Congratulations! This little ray of sunshine is one of this week’s featured projects!
