Stunning And Colorful Textured CALs
Undertaking big crochet projects is definitely one of the New Year’s resolutions theme, but I recommend you starting before winter even begins. In these cold, dark winter days, a big colorful project can be a lifesaver, that keeps you busy. Don’t let the sadness creep and scare it away with rainbow-like stash.
What’s better than a hot cup of tea, snuggling under your blanket watching favorite TV shows and crocheting? Let this season be a productive one. There are so many amazing crochet-alongs that I’m sure you will find something for yourself. Most of them feature bedspreads or big blankets, but if you prefer something smaller, be sure to stop wherever you want, of course if the blanket is worked from the center. Make a stunning accessory for your home! Take a look at examples below to check the current trends and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
