This has been such a fun project to create and share. We have 2 more weeks to go after this and then we will have a completed blanket! It’s been so cool to see all of your work. I’m now trying to think of what I would like to do for my next CAL. If any of you have a style or project you would like to try, let me know! I’m always up for a new challenge and I love to design new patterns.

Please, please, please feel free to share your work with me! I would love to see your progress and finished pieces. Half the joy of creating is sharing it! You can post your work here in the comments, on my Facebook page, or you can join the Couch Surfer Crocheters FB Group!
