In this video I’m celebrating a really special milestone—my 5 year anniversary of the very first tutorial I ever did: the Virus Shawl Tutorial. To mark the occasion, I’m inviting you to crochet right along with me in the Annual Virus Shawl CAL starting March 20, 2021. This is a low key, no pressure, no deadline kind of crochet-along, because I want it to feel cozy and fun—like crafting with friends. I also share why the Virus Shawl is such a favorite of mine and why it’s earned its name: once you make one, you’ll want to make another…and another. It’s genuinely addictive, and I’ve made over 100 of them over the years, often as gifts or prayer shawls. If you’d like to join in, you can follow along on Instagram using #anniversaryshawlcal, and you can visit my website (pinenotes.com) for a copyright-free crochet chart to support your project and help you keep your stitches on track.
