New Bernat Crochetalong - did you see this?

[JulieKay]

Yarn Geek & Marisa

 

Thanks for sharing photos of your squares ! Looking good !

 

 

 

Hi Valerie

 

I think Marisa explained it well -- the ville is a big place ,so if you go to the main page, there is a huge message board there ,everthing broken down into categories.

 

There is a free pattern section ,there is a place to introduce yourself,etc .

Once you find you way around, it'll be easy !

I don't think there are three separate squares. It looks to me as though she photographed the two together, then did an up close shot of one of the squares.

 

I thought it was 3 of them cause the 2 on the left look like one color, but the close up pic was lighter! But then I had a lightbulb moment- and realized, the square color is "natural" so it's just the lighting in the pic! Silly me!

 

Hoping my yarn is here when I get home from work!

Sorry to confuse you Joanne, but Nicolep was right. It's just 2 squares, I took the pic of both and then on just one to get a bit closer, hoping you'd be able to pick up the stitch pattern from it, but you still can't really see it on the dark color Plus I took the pics in 2 different spots

[nicolep]

Doesn't it seem like a long wait until the next clue?!?

 

I guess we'll want more time when the squares get more challenging and/or there are more than two squares to be made.

[angelfire]

I am still waiting on 2 skeins of yarn, but I do have the color for the first two, so I guess I will use it. I picked out my own colors, and I am using Michaels brand of bulky because it is on sale this week for less than $3.00 a skein. I better get the other two skeins soon or I will cry. a:eek:devil

[judianne]

So this is where you're all hanging out!

 

My ghan will be a mystery - since I'm using regular WW and my own colors....

[imanurse55]

I finally got my yarn today!!! And Yes, Judy- we're hanging out here too! I probably won't start the squares till Sunday when I 'm wide eyed and bushy tailed- I'm beat tonight after work and since I'm working tomorrow, I'm going to just relax when I get home. Don't want to mess this up---although the first 2 squares do look easy!!!

They are easy - though I frogged the entire 2nd square because I trusted my faulty memory and chained too many to start:lol

Just using WW and 3 different colors...so mine is going to be a REAL mystery to me when done! I may have to play with numbers of squares, etc...

[Sockmad]

I wanted to do this CAL but really can't buy anymore yarn right now,so glad to see others are using WW. I have plenty of that! I guess I better do that gauge swatch thing THIS time or else right!?

[muise]

so what yarns and hook sizes is everyone using?

[paulam01]

I made one square it looks big. It is 8 inches. I use size I. and I using weight worsted yarn.

[judianne]

I'm using J hook with the WW...adding a sc border brings it to 7 1/2 inches

[muise]

I am using WW and a 6.5mm hook, little bigger than the 8" but not by much. the 6mm was too small. I rather it be bigger than small.

[Nikster1983]

I'm using Bernat softee chunky? (whatever it's called, the one they recommend...) and a K hook and my squares came to exactly 8"

[PiscesCrocheter]

I decided to make two. One in as close to the colors they recommended and the other one in bright colors. I'll give it to my grandma if she wants it, or I will donate it some place, have quite a few options around here.

 

Here's my first squares. Mine is done in Aran and the other one is done in Lime, both Red Heart, I'm using a K hook.

 

Okay, I'm ready for wednesday now!

[imanurse55]

Looking good everyone! Just got home from work a little while ago and I am off tomorrow- so I'll be making mine tomorrow. I can't wait!!

[paulam01]

I just finished both of the squares.And They both are 8 inches. It took my couple of days to figure out what hook, Now, I can relax and read a book that I am reading,

[nicolep]

Rene' - I love the bright color squares. I'm a bold color kind of gal. Black is my main color. The other colors are all bright and cheery!

[reneeb]

I finished my two squares also. Now I am going back to the other CAL on Lion Brand for the cardigan. I am moving really quickly on that one.

[cshell]

I think I would like to join you all! I have a ton of Super Value, so I'm stashbusting. It will be nice to have a possible Christmas gift done when it's all over and an evening a week sounds do-able.

 

Be warned, I asked hubby to pick colors so it will be eye popping, don't say I didn't warn you.

 

What is everyone working on the rest of the week?

[Gardener]

I'd like to join in on this one as well. I've been planning tom make my ds an afghan for Christmas, and maybe this will be it. he recently moved into his first place, and he needs something to make it look a little more homey. I'll be using stash yarn, probably WW, since that's what I mostly have.

[imanurse55]

I finished Clue#1 last night!!! I used an "I" hook with the Bernat Softee Chunky yarn to get 8X8 squares!

[amhmsh]

Everybody's squares look just great!!!

[marpan79]
