New Bernat Crochetalong - did you see this?

[bigfunfam]

May I join this even though I'm so late? I have all my Christmas gifts made already, but there is always someone that is forgotten, lol.

 

I'm just going to try to stash bust this as much as I can I think. I'll start working on the first clue tomorrow.

[imanurse55]

Glad to have you joining in the fun, Dee!!!

Thinking about joining, but I'll likely use Bernat Super Value instead. The only reason I haven't joined yet and why I may not join is the $

 

I know Super Value is worsted, but it's more affordable to me.

 

Any thoughts on the [dare I use such a strong word as:] repercussions of that? I'm thinking my blanket would just be a bit smaller as I may need to use an H or I hook...

A lot of us are using stash yarn, worsted weight or a different brand, but are making our squares 8" so it's the same size as the pattern.

 

I'm using an I or a J hook depeding on the pattern. I'm not having any trouble getting the squares to 8". I've only had to adjust one pattern. The others have worked out right for me. I just had to add 3 ch to the starting chain on Clue #3.

Alot of people here are using ww yarn so you'll be fine. Just add a little extra to make it up to the 8, or as it says and it'll be a little smaller. I vote for add a few extra stitches to the beginning of the square. I'm using the yarn called for (becaue I was lucky enough to find a good sale) and even with that, I had to add to this last one to get the 8 inches Just use what you have, and join the fun

[marpan79]

Well ladies (we are all ladies?),

 

The square in question I may have been pulling it or something. After I finished the rest of the squares and laid that one on top of the pile, it came up short So I added the extra row and now they are all the same # of rows.

 

Here's a pic of my progress thus far..... (not great lighting)

[nicolep]

They look great Marisa! I love the colors. All of the color combos are great and it's fun to see all the different colors we are using.

I have completed the first two clues. Now I'm having a hard time figuring out what I have in my stash that will work for the third clue. Eight squares, wow! I hope the next clue is more manageable so I can catch up easier, lol. I'm trying to match the colors used as best I can just because I like those colors, lol.

Jenny, I'm using Bernat super value. I have a lot of it, and I want to use some of it up. I think there are others using worsted weight yarn as well. I think it will be fine as long as all your squares are the same size.

Those colors are great together.

[imanurse55]

Glad you are joining Jenny and WTG on finishing the first two clues Dee.

I'm using Super Value! I love Super Value, you won't have any problems substituting. A lot of people, here and on other forums, are using different yarns.

 

Join us!

[cshell]

I'm lovin' your colors Marisa! TFS-

[marpan79]

Thanks everyone....I hope I get to use a different color tomorrow. I still have rouge and grass left to work with I just hoped that I assigned the colors well so they fall into a good pattern on the finished product

 

I just got home and there's only about a half hourish until the next clue should come out. But, I'm heading to bed and it will be there in another 6-7 hours when I get up

[imanurse55]

The clue is up and we're doing stripes and using 4 colors. The instructions for how to change colors differ on the webpage and in the pattern. The pattern tells you to : Fasten off. Turn. 2nd row: Join C with sl st to first sc. However the written instructions on the webpage says that you work to the last two loops of the last stitch in the row, drop the working color and work the last yarn over and draw through the last two loops with the new color.

 

I've always changed colors according to the webpage instructions.

 

So which way will you be changing colors? And I'm thinking that 23 chains across X 17 rows is not going to be square- guess we'll see after work when I try this out.

[reneeb]

Oh boy, Clue # 4!!!! I'm excited to start using different colors in the squares. I will be taking mine to work so that I can start it on my lunch hour. I just love Wednesdays now. It really gives me something to look forward to. Unfortunately I think I am a little hooked on crochet right now and that is all I seem to be doing is crocheting. I have three other projects going on right now. I really should do some laundry!!!

[marpan79]

Good morning everyone

 

Reneeb - I also think that I will take mine to work to start on lunch

 

Joanne - I usually do the fasten off method if I'm switching at the end of a row and the pull through method when I'm in the middle of a row I've just found that works best for me
