Do you remember me mentioning this CAL a few weeks ago - well, I guess a month ago now?
I'm wicked excited to be a part of this VERY fun crochet along! I was proud and happy to be asked to to design one of 36 squares, which put together will make an amazing sampler lapghan. I think a lot of us are making extras of some of the squares, to make a slightly larger blanket, and I hope you do too.
You can join in anytime and the group is having a ton of fun! For more info go to crochet memories
If you are new to my designs, I specialize in easy, beginner friendly accessories, and have been published in various magazines over the last few years, and I'd love to have you drop by my group, Anastacia Knits Designs, or visit my designs on Ravelry.
