Both patterns were popular, but even though the CAL lasted for 2 months, I suppose summertime isn&#8217;t the best time for completing crochet projects, as many participants have yet to complete theirs. But that&#8217;s okay &#8211; we all know life gets in the way of things sometimes, and I&#8217;m sure everyone will find the time to complete their projects eventually!<br \/>\nBelow I have a nice little roundup of all the cute finished projects.
