CAL Section 11: A Zig and A Zag Afghan

A Zig and A Zag CAL

Section 11: Wave & Chevron Stitch


Good morning everyone.  I hope you are all having a wonderful week!  I have to apologize for being late with this section.  It was fair week last week and school started this week and my mind was so busy with everything that this slipped by me.  

This week, we're working the Wave & Chevron stitch again and I think this is a fun way to create chevrons!  It would be really cool to make an afghan in just this section using rainbow colors, don't you think?
