Sophie’s Universe
2015 CAL
Part 4
Part 4 – Things started becoming much more challenging and interesting at the same time with each round that was done for this part. I had fun with it along with finding parts of it being a big difficult too. By now I have started seeing the mistakes I have made with my FPTR’s and FPDC’s. As I said in the previous post I had chosen to leave them as they were. With the mistakes I’ve had to improvise in places in order to get it to come out the way it should in the end. This has been a very good learning experience. I will also post the 2nd SU Part four and then we can see probably a comparison on what looks right and what doesn’t. I also didn’t block the first three rounds of Sophie’s Universe when I should have and I think that also contributes to mistakes made that I didn’t catch.
I want to mention that I had trouble trying to do the bpsc behind the crab stitch and ended up turning my work to the back and doing it as a fpsc from the back to get the same effect that the directions were looking for. It was just easier to do this from the back due to my tight crocheting as well as the crab stitch being a pain.
Stay tuned for photo’s of the 2nd SU Part 4

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.
