This square is just a tiny part of a much larger collaborative project that has been in the works for a while. The Fenced in Floret square is one of twenty six unique squares,designed by 15 talented designers, to make the Creative Crossings Sampler Afghan.

The afghan is made in Red Heart Soft in four colors:

Berry, Off-white, Deep Sea, and Charcoal.

The afghan itself was an idea dreamt up by Kirsten, of Kirsten Holloway Designs, as a gift for Lorene, of Cre8tion Crochet, as a way to honor and thank her for all that she does. Lorene also runs a facebook group,Cre8tion Business Academy, that mentors, encourages and inspires up and coming designers and bloggers, and helps set them up for success.

I am so grateful to Lorene for all of the advice and information I’ve received, from her and the group,over the last two years. My blog is still in the very early stages, but I honestly would have never had the courage to start it and share my work if not for Lorene’s group.

Working on this project has been fun and exciting, and I am grateful to have worked with such a talented team.

As soon as I purchased this yarn, I knew it would make a perfect cowl. The Bulky Ribbed Cowl is soft and warm. It uses an easy stitch pattern and because the yarn is a very bulky weight, it is quick.

And, it’s a good thing too, because I live in a state that is known for bi-polar weather, so, it could be in the seventies one day and then freezing the next. We just got 2 inches of snow two days ago, and the wind has been really cold. So, right now, this bulky scarf is definitely getting some use.
