When I got the email from Chandi telling about the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/discuss\/expression-fiber-arts\/topics\/4322707\">Crochet Along<\/a> (CAL), the very first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expressionfiberarts.com\/categories\/collections\/2024-magical-gratitude.html\">Magical Gratitude<\/a> event, I knew that it was what I wanted for my birthday. So, I ordered the 2024 Magical Gratitude Bundle early morning on the release date. It sold out in a very short amount of time! I also wore one of my favorite shirts as of late in the video, the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/bhooked.com\/products\/crochet-is-cool-unisex-tee\">Crochet is Cool<\/a>&#8221; shirt from <a href=\"https:\/\/bhooked.com\/\">B.Hooked<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"863\" src=\"https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152002416_iOS-1024x863.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152002416_iOS-1024x863.png 1024w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152002416_iOS-300x253.png 300w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152002416_iOS-768x647.png 768w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152002416_iOS-1536x1294.png 1536w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152002416_iOS-2048x1726.png 2048w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152002416_iOS-982x827.png 982w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you saw in the video of the unboxing, there is a lot of beautiful yarn. Also included is a magical Gratitude Goody Box that has eight bags that will be opened during the 8-week CAL. I will share the weekly gratitude recommendation but will not post any pictures of the items as I don\u2019t want to spoil anything for those participating in the event. I also received a digital copy of the pattern which is a beautiful semi-circle shawl created by Janica York Carter called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expressionfiberarts.com\/products\/nuanua.html\">Nuanua<\/a> which means \u201crainbow\u201d in Samoan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_151525976_iOS-1-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_151525976_iOS-1-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_151525976_iOS-1-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_151525976_iOS-1-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_151525976_iOS-1-1536x2048.png 1536w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_151525976_iOS-1-982x1309.png 982w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you also saw in the video, I became emotional when reading the inside of the Goody Box. I didn\u2019t know when I ordered the bundle how much I really needed it. I look forward to creating the beautiful shawl and participating in the 8-week CAL. I have the yarn all caked up and ready to start! I will post pictures, updates and maybe even some more videos through the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"998\" src=\"https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2609-1024x998.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2609-1024x998.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2609-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2609-768x749.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2609-1536x1497.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2609-2048x1996.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2609-982x957.jpg 982w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"961\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152219661_iOS-961x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190\" style=\"width:441px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152219661_iOS-961x1024.png 961w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152219661_iOS-281x300.png 281w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152219661_iOS-768x819.png 768w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152219661_iOS-1441x1536.png 1441w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152219661_iOS-1921x2048.png 1921w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152219661_iOS-982x1047.png 982w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 961px) 100vw, 961px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"972\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152236775_iOS-972x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152236775_iOS-972x1024.png 972w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152236775_iOS-285x300.png 285w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152236775_iOS-768x809.png 768w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152236775_iOS-1458x1536.png 1458w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152236775_iOS-1944x2048.png 1944w, https:\/\/bellescrafting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240901_152236775_iOS-982x1034.png 982w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 972px) 100vw, 972px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This CAL may be just what I need to improve my mental and physical health issues I\u2019ve been dealing with the past month.
