A couple of weeks ago I saw that Stylecraft were doing a CAL. It looked lovely but I didn’t look too closely as I’m still doing the Last dance on the beach CAL, plus I have the yarn for Lucy’s Log cabin and I’m partway through Lucy’s Ripple. I thought that was probably enough to be going on with, and not even taking into account all the yarn that seems to be accumulating under my desk.
A few days ago, I was chatting with Tree, via email, and she mentioned the CAL, which is called Carousel. I went back for another look and realised that there are two yarn options. There’s the basic version done in Stylecraft special DK. I’ve used that a lot and really like it, but the colours are very bright so that was one of the reasons that I didn’t look too closely. What I didn’t realise is that it also comes in the new Batik DK which is absolutely gorgeous. I know you don’t have to buy the packs, but I’m useless at putting colours together so I find that much easier.
Once I’d seen the Batik, I was hooked (pun intended) and I ordered my pack.
I love the way the yarn comes when you order from The Wool Warehouse. Those bags are great for storing the yarn in.
Just look at these gorgeous colours.
Isn’t that yummy? The CAL starts in about four weeks but I know I won’t be ready for it then as I really must finish Last dance on the beach first. I’m really looking forward to starting it though so maybe that’ll spur me on to get Last Dance finished more quickly 🙂

Beautiful yarns. I do love how all the yarn comes in those lovely organza bags. Can’t wait to see you start on this one.

I am so jealous of people who can crochet as I can only do the very, very basic stuff. These colours are so pretty

If you can do the basic stuff, then you can do anything as all the stitches are based around that. I find the easiest way to try new techniques is to watch someone else demonstrating it and Esther is brilliant. Her YouTube channel is called It’s all in a nutshell crochet and there are some excellent videos on the fundamentals. You should give it a try. It’s much easier than you think 🙂

Ahh gorgeous colors! So many CALs… How to choose which ones to do, that is the question!

I know, right? I could do with more arms so I could do a couple at a time 😉
