Crochet along (CAL) 2019
Are you looking for a Crochet Along (cal) for 2019? Well, i have four fabulous suggestions to kick you off. What’s a cal? Well, a cal or crochet along, is a group of crocheters working on a project (often the same project) for a designated amount of time. For those who follow me here or on insta you would have seen my Casual Granny Cal that i ran last year. I shared one square a month for 10 months and then added a joining tutorial to finish a blanket.
I’ve decided against running my own cal this year, so i wanted to share some exciting cals that are happening in 2019. First up is the amazing Marguerite Cal from designer Mobius Girl Designs.
