I've started the CAL. This is so free-ing!
So this is the result of week 1. It looks very strange, but I think I like it.
Week 2, I need to crochet a hand, then join the 2 pieces together.
I'm not so sure I like it now. But I'm really enjoying making it. It's such a different way of making things.

Freeform CAL
I'm in the middle of making some patterns, but I really want to do some freeform crochet. I'm sure I'll be able to do both.
Freeform is just so amazing.
Have a look at these amazing pieces of art.

I'm 8 weeks behind, but I'll catch up.
I'll post each piece on here as I've finished it.
The patterns that are coming soon, are for mandalas.

Blocking and stiffening Crochet Items
Blocking and stiffening
When crocheting or knitting, you will often be instructed to block the piece/pieces.
Blocking is basically a way of stretching and shaping a piece to a certain shape or size. It helps it to look better, to be more uniform in shape and sets the design.
