Overlay Crochet: Mandala CAL

Look what I'm going to try...






This is a 2013 Crochet Overlay Mandala CAL. Isn't it gorgeous? I'm so excited to try the overlay technique. There is a Ravelry group set up and also a flickr group to show off every ones completed mandalas. I'm so excited to try this. If you want to get the pattern and more details visit Winkie Flash over at her blog A Creative Being. It's not too late to join, (I just signed up last night).


Happy Crocheting!!

A Fun Cowl CAL starting Januay 1, 2013!

Hi All...

Here is a fun, new crochet-a-long for a cute cowl starting tomorrow. I found this CAL at Tracyann's blog yesterday and signed up. I have seen this pattern on Pinterest and had it in my queue on Ravelry for a awhile. I absolutely love this pattern. It is so different from all the other cowls I've seen. This CAL goes from Jan. 1-31, 2013.

Now that I have signed up for this, I've decided to use my beautiful Cascade Vino yarn for this instead of the cardigan. I didn't have enough of this yarn to make the cardigan and since I bought it in Colorado there is no hope of matching the lot#'s. So I need to buy some new yarn to make my cardigan. Oh darn, I have to go yarn shopping now. :) I'll let you know what yarn I get and post pictures when I get it and get started on my cardigan.

I am going to start this cowl today because I'm so excited to use this yarn and to try this pattern. Also, I'm off for three days and I don't have a crochet project on my hook right now. Of course I could work some ends in on an afghan that I need to add a border too but that's no fun!

I hope some of you sign up for this CAL and join me and Tracyann as we make this beautiful cowl.

Happy Crocheting!
