I’m a bit late getting started, but I’ve begun stitching up a colourful stripy blanket with the Not Your Average Crochet Crochet Along (or CAL for short). It’s a little hot to be stitching up a big blanket but since it’s only a few rows a week I should be able to manage. Here’s how the first few rows are looking so far:

Your first few rows look lovely! The rows are all really quick to work up so I’m sure you’ll have caught up in no time 🙂
