I mentioned earlier that I’m involved with two multi-designer crochet-a-longs. Today is the first day of the Mystery Lapghan CAL, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it!
I’ve teamed up with 29 other crochet designers to share 36 free crochet square patterns for a one-of-a-kind lap blanket! Each pattern will be 6″ (15 cm) square using a medium (worsted/aran) weight yarn and a US Size I/9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook. This exciting event was organized by Cylinda Mathews from Crochet Memories and Sheri Weber from The Country Willow.

Can I still join??? First timer here…tia
Sure! Follow the link to the Facebook group to join, Yolanda.
Although I just found this CAL, many of the blocks here will be useful for me. I am making a Christmas gift for a Vietnam Vet who is wheelchair bound. Thanks to all of the designers who are helping me with this effort. I do one afghan a year for Vet’s who are my friends. They say they wait to see who the lucky person to get a blanket is each year.
Thanks again to all of you.
Glad you could find the CAL, Pallie, and it sounds like a wonderful gift idea!
When do we start and what do we need?
