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?

It's county fair time along with back to school time here in Northern Utah and life seems to be crazy with everyone right now.  It's a fun crazy though!  I've enjoyed seeing many of your projects that you've entered into your local or state fairs.  Congratulations on all the ribbons that have been won!  It's been so cool to see some of my patterns worked and entered 💖

We only have 3 more weeks of our CAL.  Can you believe it?  What do you plan on doing with your finished afghan?  Mine has been used nightly by one of my daughters.  She loves it!
