I didn't know UV fabric existed. I like that one a lot.

Anybody remember those heat reactive t-shirts in the early 90s?

I've just seen this advertised on my local yarn shop's FB page. I've ordered the Entomology version.

Hmm tempting! In Colour Crafter? I do like that yarn as a basic acrylic DK, better than Stylecraft Special DK. I've never made a blanket like that - only rows or joined squares.

No the stonewashed version, I prefer the more muted colours, though the blue version of colour crafter isn't too garish.

However my yarn shop just replied to say that they've sold out already! She's hoping they'll come back into stock so at least my name is down.

The difficulty with a round one is if your tension is out it will really show, but I haven't had a problem with that before. I like the complexity of this. Looking back at previous years there are lots of videos to help.

I was looking at that yesterday. Not sure I want to make another blanket at the moment. It is lovely though.

I have plenty of other things to do as well but I like the idea of an autumn CAL.
