Make-along Inspiration: Crochet Part 2 and more discounts

With just over a week until the start of the Make-along, things are looking pretty good here - I have yarn,  know I'll be crocheting my shawl (I haven't followed a crochet shawl pattern before - that's my challenge) and I've narrowed the selection down to just two of the designs posted here. The plan is to swatch both and see which I'd prefer to make.

My yarn is a skein of squishy merino which has been specially hand-dyed for the make-along by The Captain and Lovely.  The photos really don't do justice to the dapples of yellow and pink and the delicate shades of green, but I tried my best to capture them. If you missed the details of this yarn offer, you can find them here

If you're still not sure what to make, I have more crochet temptation today for you. All are available with a 20% discount, using the code CFTCMAKEALONG, until the end of the month. Be sure to "add to cart" in order to apply the discount.

If that isn't enough to tempt you, I've also just announced three more fab knitting patterns on sale to participants from Helen Stewart, plus an exclusive discount from Jordana Paige - knitting and handbags (affiliate link) over on the CftC Community Ravelry group. We are also chatting about patterns and yarn and getting to know one another. Please don't be shy, we'd love to have you join us.

There is a growing list of things I wanted to tell you about, but haven't had the time for - I'll be back soon with some of those. Stay tuned!
