EDIT: Please take a look at the following post with questions and answers.
Also I have created a Flickr group for you to post your pictures and progress of the wool eater blanket.
You'll find it here, please do come and join.
Finally, as promised here are the instructions for the wool eater. A big hello to Antonietta who I know has been waiting very patiently! I still have a few more rounds to work, to build it out to the edge of the bed!
8 ply wool
4mm crochet hook
Make 6 chain and join into a ring with a slip stitch.
1st row: * 5 chain, 4 double treble into ring, leaving all loops on hook, now pull wool through all 5 loops (1 cluny group made), 5 chain, slip stitch into ring. Rep from * 3 more times, (4 cluny groups made).
NOTE: Last slip stitch should be made into same place as where first 5 chain commenced.
2nd row: * 2 chain, 12 double treble into top of cluny group, 2 chain, slip stitch into the slip stitch of the previous round. Rep from * 3 times, (4 corners made).
Finish off first colour.
3rd row: Join contrast wool in between any 4th or 5th double treble of previous row, 5 chain, and working from back around to front of stem of double treble of previous row, and out at the back make a cluny group over next four double trebles, 5 chain, slip stitch down in between 8th and 9th double treble of previous row, 5 chain, a cluny group of 8 double treble over next 8 double treble of previous row, 5 chain slip stitch between the 4th and 5th double treble of the next 12 double treble corner group. Continue round in this manner finishing with slip stitch into where contrast wool was joined in at beginning of round.
4th row: 2 chain, 12 double treble into top of 4 cluny group, 2 chain, slip stitch into slip stitch of previous row, 2 chain, 8 double treble into top of 8 cluny group, 2 chain slip stitch into slip stitch of previous row. Continue till round is completed.
Continue working last two rows, and working 2 rows in each colour.

This blanket is absolutely gorgeous. Are you directions in U.K. or U.S. terms?
VERY new to crochet. Didn't understand some of the terms used.
My friend tried to teach me how to crochet a Granny Square and I couldn't get pass rd.2 So she sent me this. Is this just one crocet stitch done over and over.
I AM really interested in doing this. I just need HELP!!! I am
so ..slow... brain wise. :-)
What an awesome pattern. I love the colors, too. I'm definitely putting this on my to do list for Christmas 2008. Gramma217 from Port Byron, NY USA
This is a very pretty blanket. I love the colors and the textured look in it. I was wondering, could I used worsted weight yarn for the same pattern instead of wool?

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing this lovely pattern. I started a couple weeks ago, though I'm going pretty slow (why do I always start afghans in the summer?). It took a couple rounds to figure out, but I'm going quite nicely now and can't wait to see what it looks like finished! Thanks again.
Hello! I found this beautiful work. I leave my congratulations and I await your visit.
A kiss of

Thanks for sharing that! It's gorgeous.

I think the terms are posted in UK. If you are in the US (correct me if I'm wrong please!) the "double treble" stitch in UK translates to "triple" or "treble" crochet in US terms (I looked it up). I'm ready to start on mine I just have to figure out what colors I'll be using first! :)
Oh My this blanket is gorgeous I can't wait to try it. It looks very bright and cheerful also the stitches look very freaky love this pattern let hope I can do it lol
There is a double treble stitch in US terminology, too, and that's what I've been using in crocheting mine. I didn't even think that it could be a UK term. That's a good point.
been crocheting for 30+ years and have never seen a "double treble" in US terms but I am open to try it if you can tell me how to do it :)
here is the side by side US/UK stitch chart:
http://www.yarnforward.com/crochet.html
OK OK...I stand corrected...there is a double triple stitch...yarn over 3 times, pull up a loop and draw through 2 loops 3 times...in the case of the cluny you pull through 2 loops 2 times and when there are 5 loops on the hook you yo and draw through all 5 of them...
I had to sit and try it out and really really concentrate and I think I'm actually getting the hang of it (I'm on row 3)...I'll try to post a link to a photobucket page with a picture if I can do that tomorrow...
I'm stoked...I'm making it in TLC Baby Sport yarn as a gift for a friend who is due in December...and this is the perfect "unique" pattern for it!!!
:)
aaacccck...I'm sorry...delete my last post...the stitch count is wrong...sorry girls...
Saw this on Ravelry a little while back and saved it in my que. Maybe I can have it on my hook in the next few months. Love the pattern!
This is one of THE nicest afghans I've seen! Beautiful!
fabulous throw; brilliant colour combo. could you please give an estimate of amounts of yarn used as i want to buy yarn to make it
Fabulous color choices!
Here is a link to instructions for the double treble stitch:
http://crochet.about.com/od/learnmorestitches/ht/htdoubletreble.htm
absolutely fab blanket/throw I would like to do this and have picked my colour combos but I need to have some idea of how much yarn to order. Would you please give us a ball park figure for the yarn. Thank you
How much wool to order is the question on everyone's lips. I didn't take note when I started making this blanket unfortunately. I did use 100g balls of yarn and did use quite a few balls of each colour!
Your work is beatifull,i´m very impress,my english is bad,but i couldn´t have to say you
is wonderful!!
my congratulations
sorry my bad english!
CArolina
Sarah, your art is beautiful.....thank you for sharing it with so many of us.
I am intrigued by all of your work, but though I have crocheted for many years, I have never heard of nor crafted the "larksfoot stitch" and would love to know how you do it.
I am truly amazed at your creative insight and ability, what a gift you have....what a gift you are!
Doris in USA
The colours of the yarns you have used are very saturated and I like this aspect of the wooleater blanket.
Which yarn did you use?
Thank you.
TallGirl says that your afghan is absolutely beautiful. I love your color scheme. You are so kind to give us your pattern for free and I thankyou so much for it.

This is totally stunning!
Take care,
Alison.
The instructions don't mention it but I'm assuming that you join the five chains to form a ring before making the 4 double trebles for the clunky.
thanks.
Sorry for my previous post. It does say to join into a ring.
My apologies.
That's such a beautiful afghan.
I might try it one of this days.
I have a question. Why is it called
a wool eater.Thank you for answering if you can.
Love the colors and texture. Can't wait to start it. Hope it's as easy as it sounds.

So are you looking for cheap WoW gold to buy? That just isn't the answer. The answer really lies in a gold making guide.Honestly, I have to say once you find that right guide, you will start to see the wow gold flowing in. A perfect WoW guide has very great gold making strategies that the average WoW player wouldn't think about.
Recently the guild that I play in was devastated by a hacker. Our Guild Leader was away from home and needed his wow account, so he stopped by an internet gaming shop. You know, one of those shops that specialize in making online game accessible when you have no access to a computer.To make a long story short it was empty. Thousands of World of Warcraft account and all of the material contents of the bank were gone.
Free runescape accounts is a very debatable topic. Many online players believe that searching for them is a waste of time while other think it is the best or easiest way of making runescape account and money. It is really not a way of cheating because the company that founded runescape has no problems with it.jackwalk1985

Rapids continues to Nathrezim-Horde wow gold play the role of arathor center, but just like dalaran, and many new cities in mainland lordaeron gradually builds up. Gilneas, Nazgrel-Alliance wow gold alterac, and Kurt tiras, are the first set up the city-state, although these cities each have their own custom and trade activities, Nazgrel-Horde wow gold but they are consistent listens to the rapids.
Having played a Druid since the beginning of Burning Crusade and observed it going from Nazjatar-Alliance wow gold the second least-played class at 60 to the third or fourth most-played class at 80, I have my own theories about what's influenced Nazjatar-Horde wow gold Druid population numbers particularly, but I need to do a little more digging before I can be sure. However, I don't know whether any of it Ner'Zhul-Alliance wow gold really applies to other classes, and the meteoric rise of the Death Knight is a thought-provoking (and somewhat troubling) trend.
