Welcome back to the Eye of the Storm Afghan CAL… We are now on Week 2! Anytime is a good time to join the fun!
My 2 squares this week are so fun and whimsical! I now have the pattern down and whipped right thru them. I am working ahead so you can see how the Crochet Along is turning out, if you are participating you should have one or two squares done depending on the size of your project!
Here are my first 2 weeks completed, I am making the large afghan with 24 squares… 4 across x 6 down. Each square is 12″ x 12″, so my approximate size will be 56″ x 80″ with the joining and border.
Here is the yarn colors I randomly drew this week…
This CAL is a nice pace and will finish mid November. There is no actual joining… just crochet when you can and hopefully you can make 1 or 2 Eye of the Storm Squares per week… If you missed the information post or week 1 post… You can find them below in the list of the CAL schedule or in the Crochet With Me tab at the top of the page. Week 1 has tons of CAL info, so make sure to take a look at that as well as the info post if you are thinking of joining the fun!
Here is a picture of all 4 squares for week 1 & 2
Here is a brief bit of info about this Crochet Along ~
Each block is approximately 12″ x 12″. Then there is joining allowance and the border. The border will be approximately 6 total inches and joining is just a couple of extra inches.

I have chosen to make mine in the whimsical chaos style! What is that? I purchased yarn kits with 12 colors of Red Heart Super Saver that all go together on Amazon. I made a small card for each color(see my pics) and for each square I am randomly drawing 6 cards. I make the square in the order of how I pulled the card for A, B, C, D, E and F colors.

Also, This square tends to be a bit wonky… It will need to be blocked to take shape…
I use the wet blocking method and they turn out great. I just get the squares wet in warm water, roll them flat in a towel to get most of the water out… Then I pin them on my blocking mats until dry!
If you need blocking mats, here s the link to what I use. I purchased these on Amazon… Click here to shop!
