Extra Special Carousel part 2: Carousel banding

The Carousel Part 2 is POSTED TODAY
and made up of 16 carousel pieces, 8 cream and 8 red, joined together with a decorative rib stitch


With the Extra Special the banding has 2 options 

NEW EXTRA SPECIAL PACK: 
Option 1:Extra Special marl yarn in Viola/peony

Part 1: Carnation, Sandstone,Viola, Greengage, Waterfall, Charcoal, Peony, Carnation, Viola, Charcoal.
Banding: Peony and Sandstone and can be joined with either the Atlantis or with Viola

Option 2: Extra Special marl yarn in Greengage/waterfall (this is the option i am going to make along side you al)



Part 1: Charcoal, Atlantis, Greengage, Sandstone, Waterfall, Charcoal, Atlantis, Waterfall, Sandstone, Viola

Banding: Charcoal and Waterfall, joined with either sandstone or Viola


Each band takes me about 20minutes to make so about 5hours 20minutes to make the 16 pieces..but i never made them all in one go....And you will use most of the 2 balls, and then allow joining time. 

PASTELS...
I will be making one of these the second option along side you over the next 2 weeks and hopefully a pastel version too... still to decide which centre to use though


KING ARTHUR'S ROUND TABLE
I'm also making a King Arthurs Round Table version too...blog post on its own for this one 

HAVE FUN ALL XX

UPDATE 22ND SEPTEMBER ON EXTRA SPECIAL GREENGAGE: I'm making the Greengage version of this version along side you and have decided to make a couple of changes removing the VIOLA from the centre part one last round and use 4 colours, Sandstone, Charcoal, Waterfall and Atlantis for the banding.

All the other colours will be used in the final rounds though

    Love to see the colour variations in this project. Have started on the banding, just hoping I can achieve the joining method which I've not tried before - fingers crossed!!
