Introducing Cosmic Cal 2018

Below you will find all the information you need to plan for this year’s CAL.

.

As many of you, that know my designs, will know, I love the idea of thousands of people, from all over the world, and many diverse ways of living, connecting through a common love of a hook and some yarn.

 

The concept of the Cosmic cal is connection, and expansion. Whether you see the universe and stars, or the web of life within this design, this is your journey and I hope it is one of love and gratitude.

“As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…”
– Hermes Trisma

“Cosmic consciousness, a consciousness of the life and order of the universe which is possessed by few men at present.
It is a further stage of human evolution which will be reached by all humanity in the future.”
Gistus

The idea started from some of the spiritual work I have done with Archangel Metatron, and what is known as Metatron’s cube, this is part of sacred geometry, and is often used in meditation and connection to higher levels of consciousness.

Metatron’s cube also incorporates all possible shapes and is linked to “the flower of life”, which is a continual connection and growth symbol.

There is lots of information out there on the internet, should you wish to learn more about this.

 This Crochet A-Long is sponsored by Stylecraft yarns.

I am absolutely thrilled to be working with Stylecraft yarns for this CAL.

Stylecraft are my absolute favourite yarns to work with, and we have showcased some of their most popular yarns, in the most gorgeous array of colours, for you to hook along with us.

There is an Official Stylecraft Cosmic Cal Facebook group to share your progress and for all the latest updates and news.

♥ How does the CAL [crochet a-long] work?

There will be 9 parts, each week that the cal runs a new part will be published.
