Crochet and cakes and a CAL

17th June

I have mentioned briefly the CAL (crochet a-long) that I am in the middle of, so far we have completed 9 of the 14 weeks and I am loving.  Last Dance on the Beach

From this CAL I am also running a crochet group where we are so far on week 5.  Thought I would share with you each of the five squares and the different cakes we have had along side.  What could be better, crochet, cake and a CAL.

Week 1

Popcorn stitch

The first crochet night fell on Norwegian
National Day, so we had to have the correct cake:
kranskake

Week 2

Star stitch, it was hard to achieve the correct gauge with this

Such texture and detail

 

Week 2 was a Paul Hollywood triple chocolate cake

Week 3

Shells and waves if the sea, lots of front post work
on these squares this week

This was a Danish cake called Sandkage,
very similar to the  Pound Cake

Week 4

Waves for week 4, loved these squares

Also the week of our Queen's 90th birthday
so it seemed fitting to have Gin & Tonic cake

Should you be interested in this moist lemon drizzle

cake with a British twist of gin,

see post here: 

G & T Cake

Week 5

Difficult to see but there are seagull footprints
on these squares, look closely, you may just see them

And this week we ate a Mary Berry Strawberry and Cream cake

 

 

 Sharing my 5 weeks of crochet and cake with you for  Amy   5 on Friday.
