They say that variety is the spice of life! Applied to crochet I think that means we should try lots of different things because that keeps life interesting! So this next block has just the perfect name for a CAL such as this one which is ALL about variety and it introduces us to a new stitch; popcorn stitch (which are the puffy ones in the picture below).
This square is free (and has been since February 2012) on the My Blue Angels blogspot.
Although we are on block 10 there is still plenty of time to catch up – the full schedule and details about the CAL can be found here.

My Version:
Ta dah!! This is my version of this square using my colour palette (I blogged about this here). I was really excited about trying out all my colours on this square and love how it turned out; the popcorn stitch is definitely one of my favourite stitches.
Don’t forget to stay tuned for the next block to be released on May 27th (or 28th)

Another flowery looking square to add to the other 9 being used to make the afghan for the 2015 CAL. How many have you made so far?
I’ve made all 9 and couldn’t wait until # 10 came. Love the simplicity about this one. I’m going to make 2, just to see which one I like best.
