It's time for Week 1 of the Crochet Between Worlds Advent Meditation Crochet Along. We hope you are as excited as we are!
You can find all information about the CAL here. If you have questions, you can post them here. We are also active in the Stylecraft Make-Along Facebook group. We will try to answer as soon as possible, but we are not online all the time (you know... life, work, sleep, and so on).
The meditation available on youtube at https://youtu.be/5w4fC-upjKM or you can view the file below. It's just audio, with a placeholder picture.
This weeks pattern uses some "special" stitches next to the normal one. If you are unfamiliar with one of them (list below), we recommend that you read the linked tutorial before you start.

treble 5 together - Tutorial by LookAtWhatIMade but with an extra helper to make your tr5tog pointier: at the last step, don't pull through all 6 loops at the same! yo, pull through three, then yo, pull through the rest!

P.S. Please remember that we are offering this crochet meditation CAL for free in our spare time. We will not be able to answer your questions at any time of the day. Living in two different time zones (Australia and Europe) means that we cover a decent chunk of the days; however, we also have a life and will definitely not always be online or available even if we are awake. Furthermore, there is a chance that technical difficulties might occur (they did last time) or that there are errors in the pattern (we tried to do our best to make sure they are fine!). We ask you to notify us if there are technical issues or errors, but we also ask you to be patient with us. We will work on it as soon as humanely possible.
Thank you for this. Really looking forward to participating.
ReplyDeleteOur pleasure! We hope that you will enjoy it!
DeleteI just made mine. Pretty! However when I do a tr5tog I have 6 loops before pulling through, not 7, which I think is correct.
ReplyDeleteGood catch on that typo Nicola, thank you xx
DeleteI've not done anything like this before but really loved it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad you enjoyed it!!
ReplyDeleteJust finished mine. I've never attempted anything like this before either, but loved it. I've crocheted 2 now. Tomorrow I'll try week 2! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThat’s so wonderful to hear Pamela!! Good luck with week 2 🧡
DeleteI think I might finally have the time to investigate and try this. Love your disclaimer - shame that there are disrespectful people out there who create the need for such a disclaimer!
