Sophie’s Universe
CAL 2015
Part 1

I have decided to make two of these or try to as I follow along with so many other fellow crocheters in this endeavor of creativity and colors. So this one is the first one and below will be the second one. I’m not sure how to attach the instruction pdf’s so if you’re interested in this project you will have to visit Sofie’s Universe Part 1 CAL 2015

I have enjoyed working on this project so far.  With part one I had to rip out Round 4 of part one because the instructions for this part was a tiny bit confusing with how it was worded.  Of course I figured out what the issue was and fixed it.  I’ve had fun coming up with colors too.  I tend to use colors based on how I am feeling at that given moment.  I used a 5.0mm hook for the 1st one and a 4.5mm hook for the second one. We’ll see what the size difference will be when it’s a bit larger. 🙂

I had difficulty as I said with Round 4: 
I ended up ripping it out a couple of times before I was able to get it right. So I believe that it’s resolved now. 
*Hdc in the first dc. This first dc might be slightly tricky to get into because it is right next to the fpsc. (Ch 1, dc in the next dc, ch 1, dc in the next ch-1 space) twice.  Ch 1 and dc in the next dc (Photo 2).  Ch 1 and hdc in the last dc.  Fpsc in the next fpsc (Photo 3).* Repeat from * to * 5 more times, omitting the last fpsc on the last repeat.  Join to the first fpsc with a sl st.  Fasten off and change colours.

My name is Katy and I have been living in South Greenland since August 2011. I was born in Charleston, South Carolina, raised in Florida, and migrated to South Greenland through marriage. I am married to an amazing Greenlandic man living 60º N - about 670 km south of the Arctic Circle. I am a master gardener of 50 years. I started my love of ornamental gardening at the young age of 11. My paternal aunt gave me my first cutting and told me how to plant it. She also showed me some simple crochet stitches and sent me home with a cutting of coleus and a crochet hook with some yarn. At eleven it was like taking home a prize. Little did I know what would happen because of that. I learned how to sew my own clothing during my teenage years and that sewing has flowed over into me learning how to be a quilt maker. I love to take photographs of everything that catches my eye. I have thousands of photos. I am in love with icebergs. I don't think I will ever tire of seeing them and taking photos of them. The Greenland landscape is magnificent and it never disappoints. I also love to crochet as well as cook. I love making up my own recipes and serving them up to my "Heart Light" for test tasting. He is such a trooper. For the most part, he loves everything I've made. I'm a summer tourist guide and love it when fellow Americans come to visit us so that I can tell them about Greenland and most of the time I always tell our story since it's so special. I have 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren. I have grown to love Greenland as much as I love my home country USA. Greenland is like no other place and I will write lots about it and share photographs as well. I also love music and movies as well and I like to read. I will also be sharing blogs about quilt-making and other subjects that I'm involved with.
