it's by Dedri from the blog I've posted lots to! The problem I can see is that it is DK 4 mm so different from all the other we are doing which are all worsted / aran with 5mm so size will be weird!

So is everyone happy to do the one I posted about a page or so back as it is the largest from that set of squares and then we can use that as our gauge (Esther already said yes)? @girlinleeds @autumnalgirl @Bugglyboo @confusinglady

Nicola - have you started yet? (big stick getting sharpened )

Arrrgghh I was just going to post it up as the first one for Feb but then looked at the pattern and it is actually written for DK / 4mm so wondering if that is why it is so much bigger and maybe we should leave it and do another? what do you all think, I do think it is really nice. This is what I was going to post:

Here is our first square for February - it is the Odyssey square which is apparently the biggest from the whole CAL that we have already done a square from and will no doubt do more. I thought if we do that now then it can be our size gauge for all our others

The original pattern:

I think reading it she goes on to say that using a 4mm hook hers came out much smaller snyway.
I'm happy to give it a go.

This CAL has totally given me back my mojo

Are you guys blocking as you go or will you do them all at the end? I've never done squares and never really blocked either!
