Welcome to my first CAL - Garden Life! This CAL is to celebrate the love of all things gardening and features various gardening tools, topiaries, pansies, & a cute flower border that can be done in 2 optional ways.
Garden Life CAL uses the overlay mosaic crochet technique & begins on Sunday, February 25, 2024, & everyone will have a couple weeks to get through the 1st section, with the remaining new sections being released at 1 week intervals (see dates below).
You can do this project in multiple colors as shown, or you can use just 2 colors as in traditional overlay mosaic, adding interest with an ombre or self striping background color. You could change the background color for each section as well - the possibilities are endless and totally up to you!
So get your yarn colors picked out and your hooks warmed up & join me on this fun gardening adventure!!
