In January 2022 I had a random idea to host a FREE little Kinship Afghan CAL that runs for the whole of 2022. The theme for this one is internationally celebrated dates. You will not find any politically motivating dates being represented in this CAL, …
This stag afghan is an easy corner to corner project …. really! It might be an afghan but until you get to the antlers there really is not a lot of colour changes at all! Once you reach the antlers there is not too many …
September 8th 2022 is International Literacy Day (ILD). This is different to World Book Day which was held in March. But the book square will work perfectly to celebrate both days. It would look fabulous as a wall hanging in a library or reading corner! …

Donut Square anyone??? Do you love a sweet treat too? I have to admit that donuts are not my go-to when it comes to a sugar rush. I much prefer cheesecake … or a nice red velvet cake. Part of the Kinship CAL 2022 …
