This hashtag was used by Dedri Uys to signal any stories behind her CAL Sophie's Universe. As I (rather late) participated in this Crochet Along I want to share the story behind my blanket.
As of July this year (so in a week) I shall be graduated from my masters in medieval history, yet as I am not ready to work already I planned on going on a second course. A mastership in Journalism. But in our little country Belgium, and more specific in the little Flemish part of it, there are only two places where you can follow this course. Brussels and Antwerp, namely. And since my boyfriend was planning on taking up a course in the vicinity of Antwerp as well, my choice was easily made. Although Belgium is a small country, Antwerp is still a long trip away from my hometown. Louvain was easy enough to reach via public transport, Antwerp is not. That's my boyfriend and I are going to move in together in a students'-studio in Antwerp. He has been ready for living with ever we started dating it seems; I on the other hand, was not ready for such a step in a long long time. I might not even be ready right now. And there is where Sophie comes in. My boyfriend said it would be nice to have a two-person blanket for on our bed. He likes the one I have for myself at home, so he asked me to make one for the both of us. And as I had been luring around on the project gallery for Sophie on Ravelry for already quite a while, being stunned by all the colourful goodness that was to be found there; I chose Sophie for our blanket. For me, this project, has been somewhat of a portal into maturity. I've never wanted to grow up and leave the house, but now I'm somewhat exited to see Sophie lying on the bed somewhere in Antwerp.
Well, after all this boring nonsense I shall no longer deprive you from the photos of my pretty Sophie.
I shall already apologise for the most provisorical, most weird and probably also worst way of blocking this blankey. She's just too big for any other option thus far.
greetings
