Oh my gosh Cassandra, a blanket? I could hardly believe your news! Good for you and I hope you enjoy the change for awhile, while keeping your love of amigurumi. Hugs
I'm also downloading the Gift of Christmas CAL patterns, and hope to make that one sometime next year. I love seeing the progress on yours (sorry for being so terrible at commenting on your videos...I've become one of those silent stalker types 🤣🤣)
I just passed out…hoping to revive soon! Oh, yes, blankets. How lovely. It is quite wonderful to do something different. As I usually say, thank you for all you do for us to inspire and challenge. I love it all!♥️
@GumboGirl13 absolutely! I rotate my art (beads to wire to painting to crochet) because it keeps my creative muse fresh! Plus I like to mix them together in projects. What a lovely community Cassandra has built
Oooh, that gingerbread blanket looks so gorgeous! I think you might have convinced me to try it too! I'm not big on blankets either. I did my first one this year and it's nice to have at this time of the year to keep me cozy. I love that you share your ideas with us! It gets me more creative and I love it!
I'm really enjoying working on the various parts of that blanket. I'm taking it really slow, but it's so relaxing. I'm definitely not converting to making tons of blankets, but I think one a year is a good goal to have 🤗
Hi Cassandra, so happy you are making a blanket!! I know it will look awesome!! Your granny square is beautiful!! I know how you feel about being busy. I'm doing Juan the yarn addicts fall CAL which I'm a little behind on. I'm also doing Nova's 13 days of yarn-o-ween. I'm also making lovies for an up coming craft fair I have in a couple of weeks. See you Friday!!
There's so many fun CALs going at the moment, and I'm enjoying following along and seeing what everyone else is doing and making. It's a busy, but fun, time of year 😍
Hi Cassandra 🤗 lucky I was sitting down! 🤣 The gingerbread blanket is on my crochet to do list as well! I totally agree…it’s the community feel that attracts us all the CALs! Hmm 🤔 nautical CAL, sounds like fun! I can not wait to see your 1970’s project! 🥰🧶🤩
What, a blanket!? Amazing Cassandra. I saw that blanket on Crafty Cleggs and it looks beautiful. I will have to pass on this CAL. I love all your other squares from the other CAL. They will make something beautiful, when you decide what to do with them. The tulips make such a cute bouquet. The journal is growing so big! I just subscribed to Pamela's channel and have already decided what to make along side Pamela, Lee and yourself. Got it started last night. The Nautical theme is going to be fun!! Have a great week Cassandra. 🥰🥰
I know!! I can hardly believe I'm making a blanket 😅 You know it's going to be a fun time when Lee and Pamela are involved in a CAL! I'm so excited to see what everyone will be making.
Ahhhhhh! You and I are seriously working on the same wavelength!! Too incredibly funny! I just finished Marcus the Turtle out of my fave ami books, the second book, AND I’m doing the gingerbread CAL, but I went a touch farther and am doing a previous year’s Sirdar CAL also!! So fun and so crazy! I had to put myself back in my chair when you said you were making a blanket! 😂😂. I’ll send you a pic of my turtle. Have a great week! Can’t wait til Friday!
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I might have to go back and make one of their past CAL blankets, perhaps early next year. They have great patterns.
Glad I was sitting down when you announced your blanket project. JK It looks like a beautiful one. I have a blanket CAL that I started during The Lockdown....all the squares are done and it will be really pretty, but it has been sleeping for a couple (?) years. I love to make granny stitch blankets. Fast and fun. Have a great week!!
I will admit that I'm not looking forward to attaching all the various parts of the blanket together. But I'm loving crocheting all the different parts. Perhaps now is the time to put all those sleeping squares of yours together...😉
I couldn't help but laugh when you started talking about blankets as I am sitting here crocheting the 3rd panel of 4 for week 2 of the Sirdar Gingerbread Blanket. This morning I worked on 4 of the 7 presents or gifts for week 4 of The Gift of Christmas by Made by Anita. Yes, I'm doing both. I'm using all stash yarn. Thanks for all your lovely CAL's. ❤
Hi Cassandra, I am excited to get my pic taken of my tomato! I was super excited when the US book came in the mail on Friday. The "Nautical CAL" sounds so exciting and perfect for me. I am a lover of ocean and sea items. I am downloading the SIRDAR gingerbread patterns for the blanket. I will be subing my own yarn for it. Your blanket is looking great so far!!
Hi Freida, your cheery tomato is super cute! I hope to get the updated journal uploaded soon, as your tomato now has a happy home with all the other cute tomato pics. I'm really enjoying the blanket, and hope to make some progress during the weekend 🥰🥰
Haha, so funny. You've been got! I love a cal blanket. I did consider this one and I may still do it with a different yarn. Looking forward to seeing yours develop. ❤❤
I'm really enjoying working on it, it's quite relaxing in-between the loads of amigurumis that's been keeping me busy. I love crocheting the different parts of this blanket, but it's the weaving in of all those ends that will be the death of me 😅😅
This is exciting! I’m also doing the gingerbread CAL. Got inspired by Jeanette’s enthusiasm for it. I’m doing 3 other CALS. Your Whimsical Stitches, Jenni’s A Year of Granny Squares & Helen Shrimpton’s Winnie’s Wonder blanket CAL. Have a great week, Cassandra!
Well, well well! aren't you just a CAL enabler! Nautical or naughty November - that sounds like more fun, and I see Lee has just put up a video about it too. And now I must check out this gingerbread blanket that YOU (of all people) have started! 🤩😂
Naughty November...will have to remember this for a future CAL 😂😂 I can hardly believe that I am now adding "blanket enabler" to my list of crochet accomplishments 😅❤
Sirdar blanket cal that is so funny😂 When you said blanket I thought would it not be funny if you mentioned that one. I just downloaded week 1 and 2 patterns yesterday so I could start the blanket. I also checked out the previous cal patterns. Now I am tempted to make one for each of my grown children. That would be 4 blankets. I must also be going through a mid life crises . Thank you for another great video.
Omg you didn’t just throw another TWO CALS at us! 😂😂 I can’t even keep up with what I have going on now ! 🤣🤣 I am going to have to resist the temptation of the Gingerbread House one (at least I will try) as I’m already behind on the Gift of Christmas CAL 🎄 I will definitely jump onto your CAL with Pamela and Lee though! Have a great week my friend ❤x
I hadn't seen the blanket CAL that you are joining yet. It looks like fun ❤ I am doing the Mandala one on Nova's channel right now, and I am neck deep in a crib sized granny square blanket for my newest grandbaby due Dec 18th I got the baby blanket sized one done in time for the shower in September ❤😊❤
I definitely got caught up in the all the blanket hype for this time of the year, but I've really been enjoying it a lot. It's very relaxing, but strange for me working with a 4mm hook, compared to my beloved 2.5mm 😅
Another great video, Cassandra! You mentioned adding a festive touch to the Whimsical Stitches patterns, and you said it could be any holiday, any season, but you didn't mention the Chubby Bunny option, and for that you specified only for the holidays up to Christmas. Maybe you could add that to your next video? I've already started mine, and it's great fun! I always look forward to Sunday, just because I know you'll have a new video. Thanks!
Thanks! Yes, I noticed once I edited the video that I forgot to mention the chubby bunny option. I'll make sure to mention it in one of my next few videos ❤
❤😂CAL❤️CAL❤and more CALS 😂😂😂 i can barely handle my own cal 😮 but i actually have not seen the gingerbread one. I will check it out maybe for a future project 💕
Wow, technology has really advanced! What a lifelike Cassandra robot! Amazing! The only way I could tell it wasn't the real Cassandra was that it insisted it would be crocheting a blanket! If this message gets to the real Cassandra, then please let her know that I am excited for the nautical CAL and will try my best to put my own spin on it! How fun!
This year has been my year of baby gift making! I have made 4 knitted blankets, many knitted cardigans, pants, sweaters, hats and socks, and this year I have also crocheted amigurumi for baby's! I've made toys and rattles for baby's and they have been a hit! Just found out there are 2 more on the way!!!! So I've started the hippo from friends of Pica Pou 3 for 1 baby. Not sure what I will make for baby #2.
Very cute blanket square! Well done
Thank you 🌸
tulips are amazing and the blankets are beautiful ❤❤
Thanks, Cheryl 🤗🤗
Hi Cassandra It’s lovely to hear all about your CALs. I’m happy to see you are doing the Gingerbread Blanket. You will love it ❤
Hi Andrea 💖 I'm really enjoying working on the blanket (never thought I'd say that about a blanket...😅)
Oh my gosh Cassandra, a blanket? I could hardly believe your news! Good for you and I hope you enjoy the change for awhile, while keeping your love of amigurumi. Hugs
I can hardly believe it myself 😁I'll never lose my love of amigurumis, but I'm enjoying the change ❤
Yay! So happy that you are making a blanket!
I'm also downloading the Gift of Christmas CAL patterns, and hope to make that one sometime next year. I love seeing the progress on yours (sorry for being so terrible at commenting on your videos...I've become one of those silent stalker types 🤣🤣)

✨👑 Queen of the CALs 👑✨ Xx
If I could only choose one thing to be the queen of, CALs would be it!
So much fun is happening! I look forward to seeing it all!!🥰
Thanks, Marsha 💖 I could do with a few more hours in a day 😅
So inspiring to see your projects. I am anxiously waiting until I can crochet.
I'm hoping your arm/shoulder is better soon 🤗 It would drive me insane not to be able to crochet every day.
So many CALs, so little time! 🧡
This is the problem I am constantly trying to find a solution for...😅😅
So glad you joined the gingerbread blanket CAL! I am working on week 2 while watching you. It's my first blanket CAL and it's so fun!
I'm glad there's so many people doing blankets at the moment, it helps to keep me motivated 😍
Oooh, that gingerbread blanket looks so gorgeous! I think you might have convinced me to try it too! I'm not big on blankets either.

So far, I really am 😍
Hi Cassandra! 🙂 I love that you're making a blanket! It was so nice visiting with you. Looking forward to Nautical November. ❤️
It was about time I made a blanket 😅 Not long now before I get the urge to make a sweater 😂😂

This has been the year of the community! I'm enjoying all the CALs going on 😊
Hi!! New hear! Love crocheting. I came from Diane’s channel ❤❤❤❤
Hello and welcome! Diane is a great lady, and I love her channel 😍

Lovely to see you cassandra! It really is the year of the cals 😂 I a currently working on the under the sea blanket cal. Hosted by repeat crafter me x
Thanks, Jackie ❣ I forgot about the under the sea CAL. I'm following quite a few people who are making that blanket.

If I didn't have a 9-5 job taking up all my time, I would be doing CALs full time 🤣🤣
@ hahah yes, so annoying that the 9-5 gets in the way 🤣🤣 (although I don’t think my body would allow me to crochet full-time!) 🤷♀️😂
OMG. It's gonna snow because of you😂 next year garments 😅 . This is a gorgeous blanket start🎉
My mid-life crisis is so out of hand, I won't be surprised at all if I end up making a garment next year 🤣🤣
