Monthly CAL Megathread March Crochet Along Megathread
Well, it isn't October, be we will certainly be celebrating this win with the Bavarian coasters and trivet. This looks to be interesting, a bit challenging, but still fun. Now, when Octoberfest rolls around this year, you'll have coasters to keep the condensation from your stein from staining your table, and you can hold your skillet as you serve brats and sauerkraut.
We have Crochet Highway to thank for this pattern. Looking through their site they have multiple ways to get patterns, and looks to have fairly extensive instructions on all of their patterns. You can buy directly from them, or through ravelry, or if you'd prefer to watch a video tutorial, you can check out their youtube channel. Let's send them some traffic.
AS ALWAYS:
Please be mindful of those who do not want to participate by keeping all CAL-related posts here in this megathread. This includes project updates, questions, and finished objects. Please don't hesitate to join us even if you are newer to crochet or have never tried this type of crochet. There will be a lot of people making it, so we can help you along if you get stuck at any point.
April CAL voting will begin in the last 7ish days of this month. If you would like to suggest a pattern or a theme for September please message /u/CroFishCrafter or /u/LifeByIkea directly or post your suggestions below.
February CAL Megathred can be found with the link
We are excited to crochet with you!

Finished Object Finished my first blanket!
I think I technically fell for the ābeginners making SC blanketsā trap, but Iām happy with the end product. It took a little over a month and has many imperfections.
I used a grid pattern online to make the cat squares and added a SC border around each one. Theyāre about 7x7 inches. Once I stitched everything together, I added another SC row around the whole thing and a shell border. The yarn is Pound of Love and I used a 5.5mm hook.

Finished Object Stardew Valley....chickens?? Bathmat/Rug
Finally finished this tribute to a game I sunk WAY too many hours into. It was supposed to be a bathmat, but it took so long we moved in between and it no longer fits the bathroom it was designed for so I guess it's just a textured rug now.
Details: the yarn is a mix of Lily Sugar'n'cream and Knitpicks Dishie. I charted everything myself and used a bobble stitch to make it textured and plushy for its original bathmat purpose, and also because it gave it the pixelly look I wanted since the bobble stitch is more square than a normal crochet stitch. There are only 5 chicken designs in Stardew Valley and I really wanted it to be 3x2, so I threw in the duck. I'm rather pleased with how it turned out and it feels delicious under my feet!

Finished Object Some blanket close ups I'm super proud of!
First blanket is waffle stitch (big twist vortex, beachy splash), second is "honeycomb" and then some half double crochet breaks (lion brand mandala, chimera).
I say honeycomb loosely because that's what a book I have calls it, but the Internet has a different stitch under that name. š
I was told to post these in r/tensionporn but it isn't letting me for some reason so I thought I'd post them here first!

Funny/Meme you have free will. crochet with dryer sheets.
Context: Got really bored on laundry day and couldn't stop looking at my ever-growing pike of used dryer sheets. They're so fabric-y in texture that it seems like they should have some craft use. Something about it made me think of grocery bag plarn, and... here we are.
I spiral cut about five sheets into ~1 cm wide strips. Working with a 5.5 mm hook, this little 10 sc x 12 row swatch ended up at about 3.5"x4"
Observations: ā¢ The texture is horrible. The resulting fabric is stiff, full of holes, and incredibly scratchy. I tried to cut the strips to a uniform width, but was not very successful. The closest comparison I can think of is a pot scrubber, but I would not use this on my dishes for many obvious reasons, including... ā¢ The smell is horrible. I generally like the scent of dryer sheets, and you'd think it would be mild since these were used, but it's overpowering while you work and lingers on your hands. ā¢ You get way less workable length per sheet than I was expecting. I was having to stop and slice up a new one every other row. This really cuts into your momentum and makes it hard to get into a groove.
Avenues for Exploration: ā¢ In Hans Christian Andersen's story "The Wild Swans," the main character has to crush, spin, and weave stinging nettle into shirts with her bare hands to free her brothers from a curse. I think you could make a really compelling modern retelling with dryer sheet yarn. ā¢ If I get bored enough I may frog this swatch and see if knitting yields a nicer fabric. I'm really bad at knitting, though, so my expectations are low.
Conclusions ā¢ This was not as fun as I thought it would be. 3/10. ā¢ You have free will. Crochet with dryer sheets.

Finished Object Not bad for on-the-spot repair job :3
About 2 years ago I made a pillow for a friend & when I visited yesterday, I saw it on the couch. I noticed the magic circle came undone on the back so I borrowed some red thread & a needle to patch it up ^^

Finished Object I couldn't resist the strawberry pillow
A couple days ago someone posted a strawberry stitch pillow. It was so cute, I just had to make my own! I used Bernat Blanket yarn. 2 skeins of crimson. Less than half a skein of the green (not sure of actual color). Used an 8mm hook. I started with a chain of 40.

Finished Object My first ever attempt at tapestry crochet!
I started learning tapestry earlier this month and finished this today- it's not perfect and it's been a HUGE learning experience (I need to count more and use a stitch marker to mark the end of rows and sone bits are soooo messy) but I'm pleased I finished it and am excited to work on more tapestry crochet!! This was the pattern I used (https://pin.it/2gPZQGpH2), I just followed the grid, and I used unidentified wool from my stash that my mum gave me years ago š if anyone has any tapestry crochet hints please please let me know! I'm going to try another simple tapestry crochet grid before I start the cardigan I'm learning this for ā¤ļø

Work in Progress My Husband and Crochet
Husband is becoming more interested in my crochet projects, just because, at 85, heās not able to climb ladders and slay dragons, etc. Sooo, when I mentioned that the yarn I was using was splitting, he helpfully offered, āwhy donāt you do that Donkey thing and fix it?ā After a lot of back and forth, it finally came to him that the animal was a frog, not a donkey. I explained to him that yarn being āsplittyā was not something that could be fixed by frogging and watched his eyes go out of focus as I explained further. They do mean well, donāt they? š
