Lullaby Lodge

Hello friends, I hope you are all coping and staying safe.  As many of us are in lockdown, I thought it would be a great time to have another little crochet along.  Something with a different theme each week, perfect for using up your stash. The CAL will be run over at the Facebook Group, where you will be able to post your photos.  Group members will also be able to volunteer to host each week's CAL and I am also hoping to include some guest designers. For those of you who don't use Facebook I will add a section to this post for each week's chosen pattern. Useful links including other CALs...

Hello everyone, it's time for our final instalment of our Mini Mother's Day pattern series.  If you are from the UK, happy Mother's Day, take some time out of your day to treat yourself and make this quick and easy cowl. If you are from the US you still have plenty of time to make this as a gift.  I hope you enjoy the pattern... You can find  part 1 ,    part 2  and part 3 here... I have used Stylecraft Batik Elements DK in the shade Titanium and matched it with Jarol Heritage DK in Winter White.  Although I have used different colours for some of the patterns, they are all designed to be a matching set and you can of course use the same colourway for each one. There is an ad free, pdf version of this pattern available in my online stores, thank you for helping to support my work...

Although the winter has been pretty mild here in Windsor, I think we can really feel the beginning of spring.  The the trees are trimmed with pink blossom and the golden daffodils are bobbing their pretty trumpets in the breeze.  The temperature has also risen too and the sun has been shining, tempting us to take off our coats. With the weather warming, it's time to switch to more lightweight accessories, so I thought I would take a look at scarves and shawls, perfect for spring.  Here are the ones I picked out by my favourite designers... The first is this pretty shawl by Pattern Princess.  She uses a cotton blend yarn, making it a perfect accessory for spring and if you have a whole day to yourself to crochet, can be made in only 8 hours. 8 Hour Cabana Shawl This infinity scarf is a great addition to your spring wardrobe.  Wear it loose on warmer days and double wrap it on cooler ones.  Crocheted in lovely colourful cottons, pattern by Dora Does.
