Crochet with Me!! Winter 2015 Crochet-A-Long Retro Afghan is now complete!!
I love my new Retro Style Afghan… It is colorful, whimsical and it was so much fun to make!! I hope you will love yours just as much!! Granny’s Circle in Square, Chevrons, Stripes and Blocks brought this fun Afghan to life… Easy stitching techniques and bright bold colors make it pop!!
What do you think??
If you love this afghan,,, But didn’t participate in the Crochet-A-Long… I will be posting this pattern in full in a couple of weeks…

I love this geometric design. Will it come out as a single download pattern rather than having to download each week’s instructions separately please?
Thank you… Most likely it will remain as is.
Hi Beatrice,
I just finished downloading all 13 pages of the CrochetWithMe2015 Winter patterns, notes and ideas. This is such a thoughtful thing to do, I only wish I had found your website sooner. That way I wouldn’t be making it by myself … but I also visited the other sites to save all the other colorless for encouragement and inspiration. I did want to ask about the “special Summer 2015,” you talk about at the end of this one. I see the newest Winter 2016 weeks 1-8; however, I can’t find the Summer one. Did it get cancelled? Ok loved the piecework in this one, I figured I’d love the next too;)
No… I did a crochet along for Lion Brand yarn summer of 2015… It was on their site that I blogged..
