When I do this one I need to start adding my rounds.
This one is very lacy.
Wow! I miss 2 days (I have to work some time!) and when I come back it all changed. This is a really exciting way of crocheting. This is my first CAL and it won't be my last. Many thanks as I am really enjoying the journey.
I love this! Thank you so much for posting it all! I think by doing one square a day, I might actually finish this project.
Side note, I think you forgot to add the ** in row 3. I do believe it should go here....* shell in next sc, sc in next dc**
Very Nice!
How do you approach designing a project like this? I'd love to hear your process.
Thanks Lori-- fixed. That is a very good question Mary Beth and I'll talk a bit about the design process for this in a post at some point. Thanks for asking.
My process for approaching this CAL is to give up control. Not sure what will happen or if I will even like the result. Come on, you know you are all thinking this way..
