Its rather a big day here at Reclaiming The Home. This is the 100th post for this blog. What a journey it has been so far, and I am so incredibly thankful to each of you for going on this journey with me. The future looks bright with possibilities, and I am certain there will be many more moments to share between friends as the life of this blog and Reclaiming The Home continues to take shape.
To celebrate this milestone, I decided to share a new pattern I am working up for a crochet version of the Calorimetry featured in Knitty in 2006. I have always loved the look of all the Cal's that people have made, and wanted so badly to make one for myself. Being that I'm a novice knitter at best, I have searched and searched for a crochet version, but have yet to find an established pattern for something like this (if you know of one, please tell me!). As a result, I decided to design one, and created this:
I wrote down the steps as I created it, and would like to share the pattern with you as well. The thing is, I need TESTERS! If you are interested in testing out the pattern, please comment here and let me know. Each of the testers who complete a finished crochet calorimetry and link it back here with their comments and suggestions will be entered into drawing to receive the 5 largest skeins of this lovely reclaimed angora. I will do the drawing on August 10th, so try to finish your Cal's and let me know here, by midnight on August 9th!
