One Block A Week CAL: Week 37 Prince Protea Square

Everyone who has been reading my blog since the beginning of the year knows that I joined a CAL. Well, when I joined it was pretty much on schedule till square 12 and after that I neglected it. Not because I lost interest more because my time for it became non-existent. As soon as I wanted to tackle a square something else got in the way so I never got around to it, and now I have to play a little bit of a catch up ;). I wasn’t sure which way to tackle it best so I decided that I’m going to do the most recent one first and then make the other ones in-between, as far as my time allows. I’m still working full-time and on other projects that are still on my to-do list (and yes most of them are crochet related ;)

So if you haven’t joined the CAL yet it’s still not too late to say hello to the Official CCC Social Group on Facebook, they’ll get you all the info you need and also post the pattern of the week every weekend (and they’re a lovely bunch of girls who help you with all crochet related questions, so even if you don’t want to join the CAL it’s worth joining the group!).
