Today's the first day of the Wool-Eater Blanket CAL, and I'm ready! I've dug through my stash and pulled out every ball of brightly coloured acrylic for this blanket. At Mary Maxim last weekend my sister bought a few more colours to fill out my rainbow. Between now and next Wednesday I've committed to crocheting six rounds, and since the blanket is worked centre out, that doesn't sound too onerous. Fingers crossed that this turns out to be a good stash-busting project. My plan is to keep adding to the blanket until the yarn is gone. Certainly the pattern name "Wool-Eater" sounds promising from a stash-busting perspective, doesn't it?
That's my WIP Wednesday update! Click on the links at Tami's Amis to see more updates. I'm always amazed by the variety and creativity found through those links!

The color of your sock is divine!
That is going to be the cheeriest blankie ever. Looking forward to seeing it grow! I'm also drooling over your Wollmeise. Gorgeous color, and the sock pattern looks like it loves the yarn. Win!
I can't wait to see this blanket, its going to look so cheerful and bright! Great sock too!
Thanks for visiting my blog and your sweet comment on the afghan. The sock is really, really pretty. Of course, I had to click on your CAL link and my jaw dropped open. That looks like such a gorgeous and fun CAL. I so want to play but am bent on finishing poor mom's blanket. I'm definitely adding it to my Ravelry though. It's just too pretty not too. Can't wait to see your progress on it.
The colours for the blankets have me drooling, and the sock looks gorgeous! Such a vibrant colour!
Gorgeous Whitby socks! The colour is absolutely delicious. I keep hearing such good things about Wollmeise but I'm yet to try it. Will have to treat myself one day :)
Love the colors you've chosen for the blanket CAL. Your Whitby sock looks terrific.
Love the sock colour and pattern.
Would love to do the cal,it looks great, but have decide to spend this year working on a ripple blanket,very soon, between knitting projects.
Love the color combo for your blanket!
Yay, lovely colors. I plan to partially join as time permits (how sadly noncommittal is that??) but I look forward to seeing your progress!
Glad you like the Wollmeise. Someone gifted me some, but I haven't used it yet. Nice to know ahead of time that it would look nice in a pattern.
Your socks look great. congrats on getting so much done so quickly.

I do love rainbow colours. I'm looking forward to seeing your blanket finished. I like your soxks and particularly like the neat fit of the cap in your previous post.
Those are some pretty colors for the blanket, and I like how the sock is turning out too! The cable pattern looks so pretty!
