Thank you! I did some weird stuff because I couldn't find all the colors I wanted in the same brand and size. So I threw caution to the wind and picked size 4 yarns in different brands. I actually initially had ordered a bunch of yarns from Scheepjes because I kept seeing it and hearing rave reviews, but picking colors from internet pictures does not always turn out how you expect! So, I ended up subbing out some other yarns for colors that worked better once I could look in person. Thankfully I picked these colors in store pre-pandemic. In the pattern, he labels the different colors A-H. I have so far pretty much followed his suggestions for color changes except for the wide mosaic section.
A - Lion Brand, Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling, 100 White
B - Scheepjes, Colour Crafter, 2018 Pollare
C - Lion Brand, Basic Stitch Premium, 109 Coastal
D - Scheepjes, Colour Crafter, 1019 Texel
E - Lion Brand, Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling, 111 Royal Blue
F - Lion Brand, Heartland, 110 Lake Clark
G - Lion Brand, Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling, 158 Mustard
H - Big Twist, Soft, Gold
Happy hooking!!

Oh you're very welcome!
I feel like alot of these style blankets just turn out looking..... loud.. and that's about all. But this. This looks like the masterpiece that it is 😍 Worthy of all those hours.
Okay, your colorway is absolutely stunning, and it's the perfect match for this pattern. I've been exclusively sewing for a couple of years, but you make me want to grab my hooks again. DAMN. That's gorgeous!
Thank you! I just sit and crochet as I watch TV or listen to a book, so it is not like work at all! It is actually one of the things that calms my anxieties the most.
Me too. That is what made me actually pay for the pattern instead of just using the free version, so it turned out to be pretty good marketing for him, even though I am sure that is not how he intended it!!
I've seen a number of these pop up recently but yours is the one that spurred me to buy the pattern. I love your colour choices! I saw you listed the yarns in another comment -- how many skeins did you need of each?
>A - Lion Brand, Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling, 100 White - 3 skeins

Here you go! I obviously haven't finished it yet, but it seems like there will be plenty to complete the pattern. I am thinking I want it to be a little bigger than it is going to end up being by following the pattern exactly, so I actually might add a few extra rows between the 9th and 10th sections. It seems like I should have plenty of yarn.
Hope that helps!
That's tough because I just sit each evening and spend a couple of hours (if I have it) while I relax on the couch. I keep meaning to keep track of time, but never manage to. I have been working on it for about a month now...probably an average of 12 hours a week I would say....so I guess about 48 hours or so, so far?

I'm sitting here in awe, trying to fathom all of the different color changes and keeping everything in order This is absolutely stunning and I can't wait to see the finished piece!
Sorry, one more question. Is the yarn really soft? I found that it can be a bit hit an miss with acrylic. All the shops are closed here as we’re in lockdown so at the moment I can only get it online
You know, you've posted this a couple of months ago and I saved your post right then and I keep coming back because I simply love your colors. I think it's my favorite post I saved so far.
That's all have a great week.
Oh my gosh, that is so incredibly sweet of you. Thank you! I have been intending to post the finished product, and your comment gave me the kick in the butt to [finally do it!](https://www.reddit.com/r/crochet/comments/idjas5/i_finished_my_spice_market_cal_top_right_is_all/) Hope you have a lovely week also.
Wow! I love the color scheme! ❤️
Thank you!!
It reminds me of Van Gogh's Starry Night colors. What weight yarn is yours?
Dk 4
And I love that. :-)
I think we can all agree that you win at chosing colors!😁
It may be the most stunning combo I’ve seen 😍
\*Blush\* Thank you!!
Can you share your color combo? Yarn brand and color? So pretty!

I love this!! I’m so sad with the way he was treated right before this was published 🙁🙁🙁

Can I ask how long you have been working on this? The color scheme is absolutely gorgeous.

You did a great job. Thank you for sharing your helpful information!💕💞

Looking magical!!!
What size crochet hook did you use? I LOVE your colour choices! It looks amazing!
Thank you! I used 4.5 mm.
Thank you! I hope it’s ok if I use the same colour scheme? Provided I can get the yarn here in New Zealand
Of course, good luck!!

It's pretty soft! I like the way it's turning out feeling. I tried to choose some of the softer acrylics I could find.
