Keep on Blooming CAL

Introduction 

Welcome to the flower meadow!

I am so grateful for all of my crochet friends around the world. Thank you for your beautiful words about my previous CALs and crochet projects. Don’t you think it’s time for another free CAL? I think it is.  

I´d like to share with you the Keep on Blooming CAL,made with flower hexagon pieces.  

The first flower hexagon piece was designed and tested two years ago. Piece by piece, slowly and carefully by my test group who test and proof read the new designs. At last in the winter of  2018 it was ready, a little sister to this CAL “Keep on Wrapping”,… but I wanted something bigger. In the spring of 2019 the prototype blanket “Keep on Blooming” was ready. The gorgeous flower meadow blanket is made up of six different hexagon pieces, the join, a playful wavy border and cute flower tassels.

 

I want to thank all my volunteers; you are the best! You made this CAL possible and I am so grateful.  

Please respect all the hard work we have put into this project. I hope you will keep our Facebook group friendly and polite while helping each other.

Schedule 

The Keep on Blooming CAL starts in September 2019. The CAL runs for a total of 8 weeks 26.9 – 14.11.2019. Patterns are published 1 part per week, on Thursdays at 12:00 (Finland time zone UTC + 3).  

Make the required amount of hexagons as listed in the schedule table each week. The 7thpart is the Flower Tassels. They are easy to make and in that week you will have some extra time to catch up if you have fallen behind.  The final part is the joining and border.  

You can also take your time and proceed at your own pace. The patterns will also be available on my webpage www.anceliga.fi after this CAL has ended.

*Notice the required amount of hexagons in Beige-blue yarn-kit
