My next project is a Nya Infinity blanket for my BF (top). I think it will take a while.
I've also wound some yarn I've had for ages but not known what to do with, and done a sample of brioche crochet. BF scores lots of points for holding two skeins for winding and doing a good job. I think it will work well for the Alma sweater I linked a page or two back. The top section is a bigger hook, closer to gauge and feels a better fabric. It was a bit fiddly until I worked out what I was supposed to be doing!

That’s a lovely piece of crochet Meglet.

Coincidentally I have the same Scheepjes yarn in a different colour way that I’m trying to decide what to do with, I keep changing my mind between a short sleeved to and a short sleeved cardie.

It’s this colour way

ravelry.com

and this pattern is a contender

The whirls are just lovely, but they do need the right pattern, and you want to be able to use most of it to get all the colour changes in. That card would be nice.
The Nya blanket can be made with two colour ways, but I've just paired mine with a contrasting Whirlette. It's going to take ages though, I'd usually use DK for a blanket and this is fingering.

I keep looking at Ravelry and letting pattern overload trying to find the ideal pattern. :)

That looks very complex, Meglet, and is a beautiful piece of work. It must have taken ages!

I think since October? It was released one part every two weeks before Christmas. I really cracked on with it over Christmas to try and finish.

I’m a confident crocheter but there were loads of stitches I’ve never done, but helpfully every section had a video to help.

Meglet your projects are enough to make me want to try crochet again.
I’ve run out of markers on my current wip. It’s an all over cabled cardigan coat and I’m at that awful part of setting up and counting raglan increases at the same time as getting seven separate cable panels established. In about another 3 inches it will all be intuitive, but right now I’m counting, counting, counting
