Garden of Dreams CAL


INTRODUCING - the Garden of Dreams CAL 

Where did all begin?

I first had the idea for this project pop into my mind around the spring of 2017.

 I had just finished writing my patterns for the Kalevala CAL. It was the first sunny day after winter and the snow just started to melt. I was already planning the work on my garden and which flowers I wanted to plant that spring. I live in Oulu, in the northern part of Finland. Normally it isn’t until May when you can start working in your garden and I was very impatient. I was sitting next to my yarn basket full of all nice bright colors. I lifted up my crochet hook and after a few days I had made the first flower pieces for my Garden of Dreams project.

 





Before this project could be ready for you to enjoy, it took a lot of time… hundreds of hours of voluntary work.  I am so thankful to everyone who helped me and made this CAL a reality.  

I want to thank you wonderful crochet friends who helped, supported, tested, proof-read and gave their time to this project… I am so grateful!

Garden of Dreams (GOD) CAL

This CAL was first published in Finnish in 23.3.2018 – 11.5.2018. GOD CAL is a crochet blanket project. The blanket is made up of six different flowers (dahlia, pansy, poppy, anemone, lily, peony) and in total 12 pieces, plus the joining and the border part. The instructions are designed by Anne Vierimaa/Anceliga Design. Testing instructions, proofreading, crochet and all other background work is done entirely by volunteers. The project, including all the patterns and support by other participants, is free for the participants, (be sure to check out the copyright rules inside the instructions). Use of instructions is forbidden in any profit-seeking context.

Please note that this CAL requires advanced crochet skills. Patterns are mostly written and there are photos to support the written pattern.

Make 2 of each flower piece and the Garden Path lace section for every piece. After you have made the 12 flower pieces, you can join them with the Flower buds joining and the little Hortensia flowers. When all pieces are joined together you make the Passiflora flowers and the Crocus border.

You will find all the patterns free at www.anceliga.fi
