Hi everyone! It’s Cindy here. A couple of weeks ago I started a new crochet-a-long (CAL) to make a beautiful afghan designed by Janie Crow called the Fruit Garden Blanket.
So far I’ve only completed the eight Forget Me Not squares and am on my way with the next four.
The next set of blocks are the Columbine. I’ve made the four flowers and will add the background like the previous one next. The petals look a bit curled up right now but eventually they get attached to the background to hold them down so you can see the flower better.
This afghan is made up of 8 different flower motifs that are all so beautiful. It is actually the second time this CAL is being run. The first time it started was during the time I was doing the Kaleidoscope CAL so I didn’t participate then. Also when the Fruit Garden CAL was run the first time some people had difficulties sourcing the yarn due to shortages caused by the pandemic. The designer and her sponsors, Stylecraft Yarn, decided to run it again and also added a third colorway which is the one I’m doing.
I can’t wait to show you my progress as I work through this CAL.
I’m joining the The Loop Scoop Yarny Link Party (formerly know as Hookin on Hump Day). You should stop by to see some of the other projects people have posted.
we love the name and we are sure it will look super great!!!
I think its going to be beautiful!

Oh my word Cindy – another lush and eye-candy project!!! I have bookmarked that page… just no way I could get involved with that just now, but it is something for ‘after’… YAM xx
Your afghan is going to be beautiful!
We are looking forward to seeing it finished, it looks as if it’s going to be beautiful. You are so very talented.
Looks great, looking forward to seeing it as you go along 👌❤️
WOW, that sure is going to be pretty!
I am loving the Columbine. This is going to be really pretty and I enjoy seeing what you’re doing
Wow! Those are really pretty! Can’t wait to see more!
I love the look of square projects but the joining is what stops me.
Such a beautiful color on your block-makes me want to snuggle up with a handmade afghan. Love it and looking forward to seeing your progress.
Such beautiful detail, and I really like the colors!
#1 says she is quite envious of people who can do crafts!
Woofs,

We took a peek at the completed afghan – and it is beautiful as we know yours will be. But it also looks very complex. Good luck.
