This is the last week of the Vajra TCAL and this week we will complete our scarves. I can’t believe we are so close to the end already!

Part 5 Winner!!!

I am very happy to see how all the scarves are progressing. Even though the pattern is the same but the different colors and yarn make each scarf unique. Here is the winner for this week!!

I think the colors in the background look lovely! She is one of two people who decided to make the scarf flat and I think it turned out great. Congratulations Ratna!

Week 8 – Part 6 (Rounds 51 – 62)!

This week, we will complete the scarf! The target is complete all the rounds including Round 62. Are you planning to race towards the end or are you going to make yours slowly? I usually race to the end because I can’t wait to see how my project will look when completed!

The last few weeks have been a breeze because there wasn’t anything new to work out or learn. This week, the only one thing you will need to know is how to bind off. There are multiple methods of doing this and you can read about them here. I also have video tutorials that explain those methods in detail:

Right handed

Left handed

Things to remember:

1. Keep your tension consistent – As my scarf grew, my stitches started getting a little loose. I think that was because the weight of the scarf was pulling it down as I was working on it.
2. Count Count Count – This is the most important thing in this scarf. I have lost focus and made a lot of mistakes. I had to frog a bunch of times for this reason and I learnt my lesson after a little bit. I never stopped counting after that! 🙂
3. Visually inspect your scarf (ideally) after every repeat or after every few repeats. It is easier to frog a small section and redo it rather than having to frog an entire round.
4. Have fun!

Next week, I will create a post in my Facebook group for you to post final pictures of your scarves. The grand prize will be open to everyone – previous winners and people who have not completed their scarves. You will find all the information about how I will pick a winner in my post on the group!

Don’t forget to take pictures!! Share them on the group and on Instagram using the hashtag #vajratcal.

One person will win the grand prize at the end of the TCAL which will be the Denise2Go Complete Crochet set!! It consists of twelve hooks, seven cords, four end buttons and 2 extenders that come in a pretty fabric and portable case.

I have the Denise Interchangeable Hook Kit* and I love it. I used it to make the Vajra scarf and have continued to use it for my other projects too.
