Yesterday, I recieved a package from a beautiful heart, (Knitru) who is in a Random Act of Kindness group that I joined. This month, I asked for yarns so that I could get busy with a granny square blanket for someone special. She warned me of a "Yarnsplosion" and I am so excited with what she gave me. I love each and every one of the colors and I can't wait to see how they look in the blanket. Thank you, so much, Knitru! You are amazing and you helped make my week.
I also received a Dragon shawl pattern from_ Vivilion. It is a pattern that I have been wanting to try and now that I have the pattern, I am waiting for my yarn to tell me that it is ready to be made into a DRAGON! So, hopefully a future post will be of my journey making this beautiful dragon shawl.
In other news! CALs have started again! For those of you who don't know what it is, a CAL is a Crochet Along. I participated in one a few weeks back and enjoyed it so much that I joined another one by the same person! This pattern that she is making is of a Summer Shawl. I am so excited because it is my first piece of clothing (that isn't a poncho). I am making one in a pale yellow color and I'm hoping that I am able to make one that rocks as much as the pattern does. The great thing about CALs is that I'm never making it alone and I can ask as many questions as I need to. There is a wonderful group of crocheters that are ready and willing to help explain when I don't understand.
What are you working on? What was something nice that someone has done for you or you have seen done for someone else?

Remember you are beautiful and well loved!
That's an easy one... I was RAK'd a sock pattern this week. I'm pretty anxious to cast on these socks, but I think I'd better finish up a couple of WIPs first.
ReplyDeleteI just really enjoy that Ravelry RAK group so much. My 2 favorite groups on Ravelry are Random Acts of Kindness and What a Kool Way to Dye. I check in on those two groups just about every single day.
Aw, how sweet! I have multiple WIPs as well. Most of them are blankets though. I need to find some smaller projects.
ReplyDeleteI do love the RAK group. Even when we don't get anything. I just love giving to people and it is nice to see that other people enjoy it the same. I think I have checked out What a Kool Way to Dye, before. I haven't really gotten into dying my own yarns but I have started to think about it.
