A few years ago, I introduced you all to the Moogly Crochet Along (CAL) which I have participated in either fully or partially for the past six years. Interestingly, I still have sewn together my squares from 2016. It keeps going on my to do-list, but then falls off of it. It wouldn’t be hard,… Continue reading Jumping on the Bandwagon
When Robin and I started the “Crochet with Friends” segment of the blog, we had lofty expectations, but neither of us knew how it would go. We did not succeed in writing a blog post for every square, BUT we did both reach the goal of not only finishing our squares, but completing our blankets… Continue reading A Year of Crochet, Progress, and Memories
I know you’ve all been on the edge of your seats waiting for the next installment of the Heidi and Rah-Rah saga. You’ve probably been wondering if we were ever coming back–if we’d given up on our endeavor. Alas, we’re back! Why the delay? Life. As the school year comes to a close for both… Continue reading The Tortoise and the Hare
In the words of Mr. T, “I pity the fool.” Well, I would pity him if the joke had been not to release block seven on April Fools Day. But it was released and aptly named. The All Fool’s Day Square by Carolyn Christmas on Pink Mambo was a welcome diversion to would be pranksters… Continue reading Fools and Frogs: Moogly CAL Block #7
Today Block #7 of the 2021 Moogly Afghan CAL was released. Wait, block #7? If you’re scrolling back through the posts to read about blocks #5 and #6, let me stop you right now. We didn’t do posts! I know, right? We had this plan, and then….and then…no excuses. So this is the post for… Continue reading Chugging Along and Crocheting Along
When we saw Block #4 for the 2021 Moogly CAL, both Rah-Rah and I thought we had it made in the shade. A simple chevron pattern, how hard could this be? (Cue music from The Lorax…) The Block is Diagonal Chevrons by A Crocheted Simplicity. I don’t usually have much problem with new squares, but… Continue reading Looks Can Be Deceiving
You are all probably familiar with that moment. You take the training wheels off your kid’s bike, tell them they can do it, and they pedal a few times before…they run into a tree. This week, I took Rah-Rah’s training wheels off. I wouldn’t say she ran into a tree…but we might need to put… Continue reading A Crochet Savant
Ever two weeks. That’s when the squares of the 2020 Moogly CAL come out. Though this is my 6th year doing the CAL, it’s my friend Rah-Rah’s first. So, we decided to crochet together. You can read about that here. The Score Rah-Rah and I are currently tied at 2-2. The first square was a… Continue reading On Saturday We Crochet
Crochet is better with friends. That’s part of the beauty of a crochet-along. Even if you are not in the same location as other people (thank-you Corona), you can crochet along with friends. Basically it’s people working together on the same square at the same time. They share progress, ask questions, and display their squares.… Continue reading Crochet with Friends: 2021 CAL
For the last three years I have participated in the Moogly Blog Crochet Along (Moogly CAL). Every two weeks a new square is released. At the end of the year, there are 24 squares to sew together and make a twin-sized blanket. I have participated in 2016, 2017, 2018, and now 2019. Unfortunately only one… Continue reading The Center Square
