Patriotic Party CAL/KAL ~ final week

Oh, my! It’s the final week of the Patriotic Party CAL/KAL! Time sure does fly. You can find all the links to all the patterns in the first post of the CAL/KAL. You can continue to share your creations in the Jessie At Home CAL/KAL group on Facebook, even after the CAL/KAL is over.

**I know I said there would be a CAL/KAL break over the summer, but the wonderful thing about being my own boss is I can change my mind!! I came up with an idea for a CAL/KAL that will work even for those of you who are in and out all summer, and that I will be able to make work even with my crazy summer schedule. So check back next week to learn more.**

Over the weekend I posted the last of the patterns for this CAL/KAL.

Let’s bring this CAL/KAL to a close with some photos of all the patterns in use!

Patriotic Party CAL/KAL week 4

Happy Monday my friends! Now I know that the point of this Patriotic Party CAL/KAL was to get ready for 4th of July barbeques/parties/picnics. However, next week is Memorial Day, and these patterns will com in handy for that as well! I love Memorial Day parades. It makes me so happy to be able to wave at service men and women and show them my thanks, even in such a small way. If you use your items made from this CAL/KAL … Read more

Patriotic Party CAL/KAL week 3

Hello my friends! I have seen a lot of you over in the Facebook group for the Patriotic Party CAK/KAL, but not a lot of your pictures. I sure would LOVE to see what you have been creating ~ no more being shy, share away over there! 🙂

In that spirit, I have some sneak peak pictures of some patterns to come. Remember to keep checking the original CAL/KAL post for the list of all the patterns we are using. You pick and choose which ones work for you. There are a lot listed there already, so I’m sure you can keep yourself busy with those while I work on editing and getting better photographs of these patterns to be released later.

Here we have a crochet can/bottle cozy. It is so quick and

Patriotic Party CAL/KAL Week 2

How are your outdoor party decorations coming along? I’ve been having fun making all sorts of fun knit and crochet items for the patriotic party CAL/KAL. Here a few sneak peeks of some of them. Some of these samples you have seen already, but some are new!

Patriotic Party CAL/KAL Week 1

It’s the official kick off of the Patriotic Party CAL/KAL!!

CAL: CrochetALong, KAL: KnitALong

This is really more of a free form CAL/KAL. I have put together a list of crochet patterns and knit patterns of mine that work for a picnic, barbeque, backyard party, whatever you want to call it, you can find picture links to the patterns at the bottom of this post. Some of the patterns are already in patriotic colors, some just need a color change to work. Of course, you can make any of these patterns in any colors, so if you are from a country with different colors, you can still make them your own, or if you just want everyday outdoor party goods, you can make them in whatever colors you like!

Each Monday I will publish a blog post here with either a link to a new patriotic party pattern, or an update to an old one that didn’t use red white and blue the first time around. I will also be sharing photos (with permission) that have been shared in the CAL/KAL group. As I add more patterns, I will update the links at the bottom of this post, so you can always come back here for the most up to date list of patterns.

Exciting CAL/KAL news!!

Hello, exciting CAL/KAL news!! Did you enjoy the Jake’s Blankie CAL? I hope so. Don’t forget, even though the last part of the CAL was posted last week, you still have one week to finish your blankie and enter in the drawing for 3 of my paid patterns ~ winner’s choice of which 3! Here is a reminder about how that works:

“If you are on Ravelry, you can find the pattern listing for this CAL here. Make a project page and link it to the Ravelry pattern listing. Upload photos as you go. Two weeks after the last day of the CAL (April 20th) I will randomly choose a winner from the completed projects linked to the pattern (with at least one photo of the completed blanket) to choose 3 of my paid patterns for free!! If there are a lot of completed projects with photos, I may choose more than one winner!”

So, next week I will anounce that winner. I have a really awesome CAL I am hoping to start in June, and a fun CAL/KAL to fill in the space before then. I am shaking up how it is happening as well. This should be fun!!
