Block 15! We're zipping along! And now I'm pretty sure no one is reading the intro... if you do, write "SNAZZY" in the comments and we'll see who's reading, heh heh. And if this is the first you've heard of the 2014 Moogly Afghan Crochet-a-Long, then don't worry, I'm not crazy... mostly... just start HERE to read how it works!
Need to catch up? Here is the CAL schedule, with links to the previous blocks (click on the date to go to that blog post):
August 7th and 21st
September 4th and 18th
October 2nd, 16th, and 30th
November 13th and 25th
BLOCK #15: I Love the V Stitch by Dayna Audirsch
(Click the name of the pattern above to go to the Ravelry link for this pattern)
UPDATE!! The site seems to be down - hopefully temporarily. In the meantime, please go to https://web.archive.org/web/20131013142004/http://dayna.tdgservices.com/ShowPattern.aspx?PatternID=42 to get the pattern.
Above is the original, made with 2 colors. Just a tiny photo, sorry! Check the Ravelry page linked above, for more pics. And here's the one I made, using my 4 colors (unblocked):
- Be sure to read the designer's Special Stitches descriptions - the stitches are simple, but there are different V sts out there and you want to make sure to use the right ones!
- The pattern itself is very easy and well written. One point to clarify though is on Round 10 - the "sps" are between the V sts. It'll make sense once you're there.
- After 10 rounds I was at 11", so I worked Round 11 in hdc instead of sc, but otherwise as written. Be sure to take your own measurements!
- My color changes were as follows: Round 1-3 Red; Round 4 Blue; Round 5-6 Green; Round 7-9 White; Round 10 Blue; and Round 11 Green.

So, I can't believe this is the first I am seeing on this CAL! I guess I need to follow my blogs a lot better! I have not looked at the patterns or instructions yet, but I'm going to check it out! I am loving these CALs because I run out of ideas. Thanks for sponsoring this! Oh yeah, SNAZZY! Happy hooking!
Karen

Irma
SNAZZY! I LIKE TO SEE THE WHOLE THING. INTRO AND END CREDITS!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you Irma!
Nancy
I don't think I will ever understand this site (although I love it)-you show a square and then there are no instructions to print although you list as print friendly. And Ravelry is just as bad. I really dislike any site that states that the pattern is free and then it can't be printed. And yes I am signed onto Rav. and Moogly. It is just very frustrating. Why can't the process be easier?? N R
Andria
Hi Nancy, Tamara quite rightly links to the designer's website, so that the designer can get the kudos and the website footfall that they deserve. You have to click on the name of the pattern to get there. She's not being deliberately awkward, it's just good manners.

Snazzy - Can't wait to get to this one. I'm plodding along - I just started this week. I tried the first one - but couldn't get it right. I will go back to it maybe later. I have #2 done and am working on #3 now. They certainly are challenging. It is fun to be challenged. (If I can't figure out square #1 I may just find another 12 inch square and substitute that instead).
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Patricia! I know I've learned things so far, I hope we all do!

Hi Tamara,
I am really enjoying this CAL. Thanks for putting so much time & effort into making this come together so well. Keep doing exactly what you are doing, you're nailing it. I love the website and use it for reference frequently. Oh, and thanks for the 'snazzy' (haha) Top Ten Project collections, they come in handy many, many times.

All set to get going on the Square, but to my disappointment I'm unable to download it. Any suggestions? I am a member of ravelry. The pattern just won't download. All kinds of error messages.
Tamara Kelly
Yes, the site seems to have crashed. Please go to https://web.archive.org/web/20131013142004/http://dayna.tdgservices.com/ShowPattern.aspx?PatternID=42 to get the pattern! 🙂
Liss
I am getting an error message when I try to download the pattern, is it just me? is it just tonight? SOS!!!
Tamara Kelly
It's everybody! I've found a way around it: https://web.archive.org/web/20131013142004/http://dayna.tdgservices.com/ShowPattern.aspx?PatternID=42 🙂
Liss
THANKS!!! Got it!!
Harlene gogan
There appears to be a problem of access to the pattern. It was OK yesterday morning, but since last night when you click on the link from Ravelry you get a error. I tried to figure out how to notify Ravelry, but since this is part of the Moogly CAL, I thought maybe you had connections to get this fixed or at least find out what's wrong for us. Thanks. Oh and SNAZZY!
Tamara Kelly
Yes, the site seems to have gone down! :/ I've updated the pattern page with a link to the pattern via the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20131013142004/http://dayna.tdgservices.com/ShowPattern.aspx?PatternID=42 that should be a good work around! 🙂
Janet
Snazzy!!! Love reading your articles. And have crocheted almost all of your patterns.
Tamara Kelly
😀 Wow, thank you so much Janet!
Leigh
I love this square but the ravelry link to the pattern is broken 🙁
Tamara Kelly
Yes, there's a link to the pattern via the internet archives here on the blog post - look for the UPDATE below the Ravelry link please! 🙂
Leigh
Oops!!! Thanks Tamara! Got it!!!
Chiara
This pattern doesn't seem to be working through Ravelry right now… I get an error page with LOTS of text saying error. Any suggestions?
Tamara Kelly
If you look below the Ravelry link on this post there's an alternative link to the pattern. 🙂

Bought the yarn, hope to start this SNAZZY cal as soon as I finish Sophie's Universe.
I also have the Lily Pond Cal to start.
I am way behind.
