Crochet Memories & Country Willow Crochet-A-Long

You know how when something totally awesome happens during your day and you cannot wait to share the story with a significant other, family or friends? You rush home or dial as fast as you can and it's the first thing that's blurted out of your mouth after pleasantries. Well that is exactly how I feel. I am teaming up with Cylinda of Crochet Memories for a CAL. The Mystery Lapghan Crochet-A-Long will start 8/17 and end in November. If you would like to sign up for this, join our group here!

                              The Mystery Lapghan Crochet-a-Long FAQ: please read!

1. We will be sharing the photos and links to 36 different 6 inch  afghan square patterns. This is enough for a 36 inch square lapghan – a little bigger after you add the joins and border.
2. The patterns will all be FREE, from a variety of designers. Please respect copyrights.
3. All of the patterns will call for a US-I, 5.5 mm hook and worsted or aran weight yarn – yarn symbol 4. Use the yarn(s) of your choice.
4. We will share a new pattern every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
5. This will also finish up all the blocks on November 4th , leaving November 13th through December 12th, for joining them together.
6. We will be making the squares right along with you – let's do this together!
7. We will be having a link up party of all your finished lapghans.  They will be voted on and the top 3 will win some great prizes(prizes to be announced later)!!
