First, I want to say that this is the most intricate design I’ve ever done and the best written pattern I’ve ever seen. Dedri has done a fantastic job explaining everything! I’ve been lost, but when I read on, it is there for me to follow. If you are more visual, she even has videos on how to do all of this. I think it’s the best written and the most well-planned mystery project I’ve ever seen! I had issues with the first attempt and my hubby hurt my feelings as he didn’t like all the colors I was using since I was pulling items from my stash so that I could use some of that up instead of purchasing the kit, which I want to buy so badly, but I have so much yarn staring me in the face, that it’s hard to justify. Since I had so many issues with my first Sophie’s, all my own mistakes of not crocheting on the right side, I decided to stop that one at the end of Part 4, and start a new. My hubby suggested a one color project and I decided to use up my ivory stash because I love the one color projects being posted.

Then I started a second Sophie’s in one (or maybe a few extra) colors on Feb. 17, which is this project. I looked in my stash and I had a lot of this white yarn, so I decided to make a project using mostly white and neutral colors. Here is the project so far:

Photos 3 & 4: End of Part 16. (blocked) Blanket measures 60 inches wide by 64 inches tall. It doesn’t fit on our regulation size pool table (across it in width) and now I have to put it on the floor to block and take a picture.
