Ripple as you Go Crochet Along Together

Excited to be participating in the Crochet-Along-Together "Ripple as you Go" both as a LYS and personally. The Crochet-Along-Together is adorably being referred to as a CAT.

The first part of the CAT pattern was released today. You can join in the fun by heading over to Ravelry and adding the free pattern, Ripple as You Go, to your library.

Once a week, throughout the month of August, Mandobug and Skacel Knitting will be releasing pieces of the pattern.
Every Friday, at The Twisted Purl, we will be hosting our own CAT from 1-3.
Stop on by to show off your progress. We have all the supplies needed for you to participate.
Here's my first piece:

Will share more progress as I go.
Suggested yarn: Schoppel-Woole Zauberball Stärke 6
Crochet Hook Size: 3.75mm F

Each month we will be knitting one block from the Build a Block book by Michelle Knit Purl Hunter. At the end of the year, you will have enough blocks to create this amazing afghan.

Below is the explanation from Michelle’s website:

“Every pattern in the “Building Blocks” book focuses on the development of a skill while knitting a lovely square. Each square, or block, builds upon the skills learned in the previous patterns, giving knitters more confidence, knowledge and skill. At the completion of the series, the reward is an abundance of knitting know-how along with 12 gorgeous blocks to assemble into a sampler afghan.”

Sign up in the shop to pay for book and supplies and join us as we learn new skills and have fun building blocks.  Questions?  Please contact us with the subject Build a Block Class.  Thank you!
