The 𝙎𝙪𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙬𝙡 𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙩-𝘼𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 (𝘾𝘼𝙇) has started! 🌅🧶🥳

The first part is out! And the timing couldn’t be any better, as the weather is really starting to change. It’s the perfect excuse to make yourself a cosy wrap to snuggle up in for the colder months ahead. 🍂🤎

Here’s a little close-up of the textures you’ll be creating. The CAL runs over four weeks, with a new section of the shawl released each week, finishing with a pretty edging. You can have fun choosing your own colours to make it completely yours!

There’ll be live Google Meets and a chat group where you can share your progress, show off your colour choices, ask questions and crochet alongside everyone else, and there’s no pressure to keep up. Just go at your own pace. 🧶✨

There’s still time to join! Click below👇🏼

With all the ber months ahead, I thought I’d pop in and share the texture of this cosy throw. It’s perfect for the colder months when all you want to do is cosy up indoors! 🥰

It’s also such a fun project for playing with colour and a great way to use up those yarn scraps. 💛

The beginner-friendly pattern includes step-by-step photos and short video tutorials to guide you along the way. ✨

The edging is on, I’ve made it to the blocking stage, and it finally has a name… say hello to the 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐖𝐫𝐚𝐩! 🥳🌸✨

The lace texture actually reminded me of little flower petals as I was working on it, which inspired the name. 🪷🥰

I can’t wait to share this one with you. The tester call is just around the corner, so keep your eyes peeled! 👀✨

What are you working on this week? Are you deep into cosy makes for the colder months ahead? I’d love to know! 💕🧶
