You're invited to our #SweetorSpookyCAL 👻

Calling all yarnheads - are you ready for our annual Halloween CAL

 

Presenting to you... the Sweet or Spooky Crochet-Along :) This is the THIRD Halloween event I've co-hosted and I'm excited to share some uber cute designs with you all. 

Whether you're able to join for one or all of our featured designs, we're happy to have you. 

 

WHAT IS IT?

Each week, a different designer will be featured. The pattern will be free for that week only, so don't miss out! Make sure to follow each designer to learn how to get the featured pattern. 
The event will last from September 18 to October 22.

Hello, I really like your chart. Can you tell me how to create this chart?

I got your pattern today, and I was able to get the pirate mushrooms, but when you click the link for the cat it opens up the Instagram for the pirate mushrooms again. Is there any way to get the link for that one???

Lynn

Looking forward to this!!! 💜💚🖤
