MARY POPPINS MYSTERY CAL : WEEK #8

This week is our last week of panels!! We’ve done a lot in just 8 weeks! Our tribute for our final panel is actually so supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-ly big that it took TWO panels to fit it all in! You guessed it–this week we’re SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!

This week has two panels–two banners that run the length of the blanket on both sides:

You also have the opportunity this week to pick your own colors! Pick two (or more) colors that you used in this CAL that stand out to you, and have a go at it! We have another planned applique coming this week just in time for next week when we join all these panels together and create a border!

MARY POPPINS MYSTERY CAL : WEEK #7

No Mary Poppins graphgan would be complete without a tape measure! This week, is our banner week and instead of using the film’s title as the banner, I went a different way–the tape measure.

Here’s a close-up of that shot…

My version…

You may notice that this week, an image of the graph is being shown. That’s because with the holiday week last week, we traveled and I didn’t have any crochet time! I’m working on it and will get you a finished photo as soon as that happens. Rather than finishing the entire graphgan beforehand, I work just a week ahead of everyone because I love the CAL community and crocheting together.

MARY POPPINS MYSTERY CAL : WEEK #6

As we head into WEEK #6 of the Chaos And Chop Suey Mary Poppins Mystery Crochet-a-long, we have some catching up to do! During WEEK #4, we actually had TWO panels that were released, but I only made one of them public. The second panel for WEEK #4 was a short, but wide panel where there were two options: 17 Cherry Tree Lane or a nod towards the song Chim Chim Cheree.

This week, WEEK #6, has several options as well…3 to be exact! You can choose from either a panel inspired by the song ‘Step in Time,’ Mary Poppins’ rum punch medicine and medicine bottle that magically changes flavors, or a panel with Mary Poppins’ carpet bag.

 

I chose to make the carpet bag inspired panel. This panel includes a few of the things she pulled out from her magic carpet bag–a mirror, a plant, and a floor lamp:

Just look at the fringe on that lamp!

MARY POPPINS MYSTERY CAL : WEEK #5

Making our way back to the sidewalk chalk drawing, we visit the scene where Mary Poppins, Bert, and the children take a ride on a merry-go-round where the horses magically jump off the merry-go-round and the group finds themselves riding thru the countryside on merry-go-round horses. But that countryside ride is not without the excitement of riding thru a fox hunt, ending up on a race course, riding in a race, which Mary Poppins wins atop her purple and lavender carousel horse named “Jingles.” This of course leads up to arguably the most recognizable song in the movie, “Mary Poppins”–Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

This week I give you, “Jingles,” Mary Poppins’ purple and lavender carousel horse…

Mary Poppins Mystery CAL : WEEK #4

This week we move onto another favorite song, “Let’s Go Fly a Kite.” Mary Poppins looks on as the Banks family gather in song and leave their home to fly their kite that Mr. Banks has repaired. That repair job on the kite is symbolic of the relationship between father and children that Mary Poppins has helped to repair in her time as their nanny.

“Let’s go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let’s go fly a kite!”

MARY POPPINS MYSTERY CAL: WEEK #3

This week we share our love for Bert. A man of many coats, I chose to focus on his chalk drawing self with his striped jacket, blue bow tie, and straw hat. As a kid, one of my favorite parts of the movie was when everyone jumps into Bert’s sidewalk chalk drawing.

MARY POPPINS MYSTERY CAL: WEEK #1

The day is finally here! That is, the first day of our Mary Poppins mystery graphgan crochet-a-long! I have planning the panels for this crochet-a-long (CAL) for about a year, so I’m super excited to see this CAL kick-off. Every Monday between now and December 3, 2018, a new panel will be released. You will see it here on this blog, but the patterns will be automatically updated in your Ravelry library once you have purchased your copy of the pattern.

Mary Poppins is my favorite Disney movie, and I’ve passed that love along to my children. We have fun watching the movie and singing the songs. I am getting my kids a set of the first few Mary Poppins books by P. L. Travers for Christmas this year, and I hope they’ll love them as much as they enjoy the movie.

We kick off our Mary Poppins CAL with the one and only….Mary Poppins herself! Flowers and a bow applique complete her look.

PACMAN CAL FINAL WEEK #5

Welcome to our final week in the PacMan crochet-a-long! This week, we work on joining our panels together, making a border, and the best part–the appliques! Because what is a PacMan blanket without PacMan or the ghosts?!

These are no ordinary appliques–YOU CAN MOVE THEM AROUND LIKE YOU’RE PLAYING PACMAN!!! That’s right! All the appliques have buttons on the back so you can move them around your graphgan game maze. Surely you can permanently sew them all on, but what fun is that?!

 

Meet Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde…

And of course, PacMan and Ms. PacMan…

And for a fun border, we replicated the PacDots around the entirety of the graphgan:
