A few years ago, I introduced you all to the Moogly Crochet Along (CAL) which I have participated in either fully or partially for the past six years. Interestingly, I still have sewn together my squares from 2016. It keeps going on my to do-list, but then falls off of it. It wouldn’t be hard,… Continue reading Jumping on the Bandwagon
When Robin and I started the “Crochet with Friends” segment of the blog, we had lofty expectations, but neither of us knew how it would go. We did not succeed in writing a blog post for every square, BUT we did both reach the goal of not only finishing our squares, but completing our blankets… Continue reading A Year of Crochet, Progress, and Memories
“Oh, we’re halfway there. Oh, livin’ on a …” Wait! In this case, we’re not living on a prayer. Our learned skill has gotten us this far (and definitely prayer, because what is life without that?). Block #13 of the Moogly CAL was released last Thursday, and I am constantly amazed that as an experienced… Continue reading “Oh, we’re halfway there…”
Happy, bright, cheerful–that’s how I would describe this year’s Moogly CAL. I know I’ve posted about it before, but I have all of my pictures from this year in one place, so I wanted to share them again. Moogly is a website run by Tamara Kelly. She specializes in crochet. I’m not sure how I… Continue reading Happy, bright, cheerful: Moogly CAL 2018
The Moogly Crochet Along is a highlight of my week. Today’s square was no exception. It was square number #14, and I’m actually all caught up! Today’s square is Clusters in the Corner Square by the Underground Crafter. Upon first glance, I wasn’t sure about this one. I’m not a huge fan of corner squares… Continue reading Corner Clusters and New Techniques
This week’s square in the Moogly Crochet Along is called the Tuscan Flower by The Lavender Chair, but I think Tuscan Sun is more fitting. It’s not even about the bright, sunny colors that I used. This evening, I finished my square, took it outside, laid it in the grass, and got a sunshine picture.… Continue reading The Tuscan Sun – Block #8
It’s two weeks later again and another block has been released for the Moogly CAL: the Purple Plaid Square by Hooked For Life. As you can see below, my square isn’t purple, but it is plaid. Many of these squares put together would make a continuous plaid pattern, but because I am only using this… Continue reading A Learning Opportunity
Every two weeks I look forward to the new square pattern for my Moogly CAL. This week when I opened the page, I said, “Wow.” It is a seriously beautiful square. The Crocodile Dahlia Square by Katie D. Creations, contained a stitch I was familiar with–the crocodile stitch, but the block was worked from the… Continue reading The Outside-In Square
I used to be one of those people who couldn’t read more than one book at a time. I wanted to enjoy the book from beginning to end and not muddle the story with another work. Alas. While I still prefer that method for books, I have a pile of crochet projects awaiting finishing. These… Continue reading Works-s-s-s in Progress
I was inspired by others in the Moogly Crochet Along group who chose to do their entire afghans in a single color. I love color, so I don’t normally tend toward a monotone palette, but what really stood out were the different textures. When not distracted by colors, each row is actually a little more… Continue reading More Squares, Please!
