There are lots more variations for the Carousel patterns...so I can see the Carousel Group continuing for some time to come. Here is another variation on the part 4 Hex pattern...

using long stitch or spike stitch instead of the front post stitch

or turned into a diamond...with a sc [dc] triangle added to 2 sides

joined together in all sorts of patterns and colour ways..with so many Special colours to pick from and now with the Aran ad Chunky yarn colour growing too...fabulous choice

Carousel Extra Special

I am making the Greengage colour way along side you all and have been playing with the colours a little...

original colour choice...if you use the Viola to join the bands together use this colour way

trying 4 colours for the banding......

I tried using 4 colours...not working for me

I decided I wanted to replace the viola with the Atlantis for the last round of the part one and after playing with the banding have decided to use the Sandstone and Waterfall for the bands and join with the Atlantis...

Have you made different decisions if using the Extra Special packs?

Hope to have the banding almost completed today, but i am off to Yarndale for 4 days tomorrow morning so lots to do today so might not manage to complete this section of the pattern...crossing everything

As part 2 of the Carousel was released yesterday, hope you are all still enjoying the CAL?

i decided to make a complete pastel Carousel along side you all, along with the new Extra Special version.....life got in the way yesterday afternoon and evening but i did manage to complete the 16 pastel bands needed for a pastel Carousel. 17 colours altogether

I've not joined them together yet I'm using the parchment to join but these are the 17 colours and they will work with all 3 of the pastel centres shown above.
