The Meadow Mystery CAL Clue #5

  I love Daisies, they are my all time favourite summer flower (Daffodils being my favourite Spring flower of course!), from the tiny little wild ones that grow in the lawn right up to the tall and proud Shasta Daisies that grow in traditional cottage style herbaceous borders. I've not got any Shasta Daisies growing in my garden yet, it's on the list though, to add sometime this summer.  In the meantime, I am more than content with my recent Marguerite acquisition from the local supermarket.

The Meadow Mystery CAL Clue #4

This past week I have been busy getting ready for the DROPS Wool Super Sale and selecting my favourite patterns from the Drops Design collection, to feature as project kits in my store, I hope to add more kits over the coming months. This has left me less time for the Crochet-A-Long, and I am afraid, I am falling behind with the clues as a result, but it's not a race and I will catch up when I can!        MY CAL NOTES: Clue #4 - The Sunflower I had to make a deviation this week with my Sunflowers.

As for the cowl, well...

I am still playing catch up with the DROPS Mystery CAL, as clue #3 has now been released. I don't mind playing catch up though, as it is quite nice seeing what is next and having that to look forward too.

If you are following the CAL, or interested in joining in, all the handy links for clue #2 and the supporting video tutorials are at the bottom of this post. In addition to this, I hope you find the following...

The Meadow Mystery CAL Clue #1

Just taking a short break from sock making to start the DROPS Mystery CAL - The Meadow. (If you are unfamiliar with the abbreviation CAL it simply means crochet-a-long and usually involves lots of crocheters making the same item all at the same time). I am really excited about this CAL and would like to share as much information with you as I can, in case you love the idea of joining in too!        So here's the CAL details: This CAL has been designed by Garnstudio DROPS DESIGN and you can sign up for the clues on their website or...
