In an attempt to use up yet more stash i have decided to join a CAL which is being hosted by Moogly.
It will consist of 24 12" blocks, each of which will be revealed every other Thursday and run until November.
After a rummage through the stash i've decided to use some of the aran i got when Lisa closed the shop, Sirdar and Stylecraft in Blue Heather, Woodsmoke and Lavender and i'm using a 5,5mm hook. I'll use the same 3 colours throughout, adding in extra colours should i need them :)

It was quite hard but I persevered!
Some things to note:
The UK version of the pattern is missing some details that are in the US version and the photo tutorial
- It is recommended that you use a size larger hook for the surface crochet.
- On round 9 all stitches are worked through the Back Loop Only, not just the first stitch.
- On Round 10 it is recommended to "tack" the second round of surface crochet through the back post, as you do for Round 16.
- There are also stitch count discrepancies between the photo tutorial/US instructions and the UK instructions which leads me to believe the instructions must be different.
I've decided to make a second block following the US instructions and see how it comes out in comparison
