Joining Options! 

Published by

Meet Celtic Lace Join, and its little kiddoes, Celtic Lace Junior and Mini!  Here they are – Mini, Junior, and big mama the original Celtic Lace.         My VVCAL blanket will use the plain SC join, since that’s what I used on the original patchwork blanket; however, the border pattern is written to accommodate any size blanket, with any join. So feel free to use your favorite joining method!  My personal fave of these is the Mini version.. I’ll be using that join a lot I think! Hope you all enjoy them 🙂 I know many of you are waiting until all your squares are complete to begin joining, so I’m looking forward to seeing your progress pics! Be sure to hashtag #VVCAL, and check out Facebook and Ravelry groups if you’re not on there already 🙂  And if you’re loving this forever free CAL, please consider donating – any tiny amount will help! Each week, 100% of donations will go to a dear friend who is battling cancer while raising 2 toddlers …

Celtic Lace Junior and Mini! 

Published by

Hello again! Today I have another option for joining your Vibrant Vintage CAL squares. It’s actually two options, because I have a Junior version and a Mini version of the Celtic Lace Join for you, so you can choose the perfect width join for your square size. Try this pretty edging in a built tough, but super soft DK weight yarn like: Scheepjes Colour Crafter Knitpicks Brava Sport Stylecraft Special DK See all projects where I’ve used Celtic Lace Junior and Mini here! For the VVCAL, you have edged your squares in DC – here I have (some of) them edged in pale orange. The actual VVCAL pattern calls for 5DC in each corner, but here I’ve used (2DC, Chain 1, 2DC) corners. It makes no difference! My squares for this demo are a grid of 4×4 = 16 squares. Okay, I’m going to jump right in, using a darker orange color. Celtic Lace Mini Join (great for smaller squares) ROW 1, MOTIF 1 Round 1: Join yarn with a slip stitch in any corner …

Floating Picot Edging

Published by

  Hello, everyone!  I wanted to document an edging that I’ve been using for a long time when I want something simple, but still cute. It adds that perfect little something.  No step-by-step photos here, but it’s so simple! You can set it up with a foundation round of either (SC, Chain 3) – chain-3 loops, or plain SC all around..    Floating Picot Edging pattern: (SC, Chain 3, SC in third chain from hook, chain 1…) repeat… If you have a chain-3 loop foundation, then SC in the next chain loop to start the next repeat..  If you have an SC round foundation, then skip 2 stitches, and SC in the next stitch to start the next repeat..
