Ta-dah! Sophie's Universe!

It's been nearly 18 weeks now since I started on the Sophie's Universe CAL, and I cannot believe how much I've learned in that time. Sophie has made me a much better and more confident crocheter - what a girl! 

 Before we get to the photos, a HUGE thank you to the incredible Dedri Uys from www.lookatwhatimade.net, the designer of this stunning project. 

 Now, isn't she beautiful?

    She looks so amazing, the colours really make it pop! I would have loved to join in but I have so many wips already. I am hoping the pattern will remain online and I shall get to it someday. :-)

      Thanks Sharon! The pattern will still be online for a while, until Dedri decides what to do with it :)

    Amazing work. How did you stay motivated after so many weeks? I love your colours and thank you for taking close-up photos of the special details and their stitches. I am not surprised that there is a lot of learning for anyone tackling that Sophie's Universe. I just love it.

      I think the motivation partly stemmed from the building excitement over the week about what was going to happen next! Plus it is just a fantastically written pattern - clear text, easy picture tutorials when required, and lots of links to tutorials for special stitches :) I've also really enjoyed sharing it with all of you!
