Fruit Garden CAL - Part Seven

Hello from Janie Crow and Just Knots, we are still here, doing our best to keep up with everything! It still isn't quite business as usual, but we feel like we are slowly catching up with some of the non-essential stuff and I am really looking forward to sending out the new look January Newsletter this coming Friday - a few weeks later than expected, but that seems to be the way it goes for pretty much everything at the moment! I will be releasing the pattern for my Indian Roses blanket this week so I hope you will join me in a couple of days and look out for my email for more information.

So, the reason for this email is that the seventh yarn substitution document for the Love is Enough version of the Fruit Garden Crochet Along project is now live on the Stylecraft web site.

To work through the Chrysanthemum motif and the next stage of the Acanthus motif you will need to download the original pattern for Part 7 and use the yarn sub document alongside this as a guide for which yarn shades to use. If you are joining in the CAL and using one of the 2 original colourways or your own colour palette then you will not need the yarn sub document.

Once again I have been unable to record a short video to accompany the re-release of this set of patterns but I hope to film a catch up video for all the remaining parts when life returns to 'normality', whenever that may be! You can find a video to accompany the Chrysanthemum and the next stage of the Acanthus motif in the original colour ways here.

If you want to make a cushion to accompany your project you can find the patterns as a free download or as a paper pattern by following this link.

Don't forget that you can find help and join in some crochet orientated chat via the Stylecraft Yarns CAL Facebook page here. Yarn substitution documents for the next (and final) part of the project will go live on the 9th February.

I look forward to seeing you back here in your inbox on Friday. Until then I hope you keep safe and well.
