lilybean31905 · June 18, 2006

here is a pic of the book, anyone want to do a CAL to try to get them all finished? Let me know this would be great.

I am editing to add a link to a pic of the book , the first didnt work http://www.herrschners.com/products/sku-343690__id-3412.html

I'm in. :hi :bounce :2rock I've already done 2 (one was not in the book), but would like to do more.

Lavelle26 · June 18, 2006

Ohhhh...I want to!!! They ended up not doing that Strawberry Shortcake CAL I guess cause no one has posted. And I want to buy this book so badly. This will be the perfect excuse. yay!!!!

I will pick up the book tomorrow. (along with the yarn) How long are you giving for this CAL to be done? As you know, I may need a little longer with everything I have going on right now.

Hey Lavelle26 - I don't know if this is the case where you are but our local Wal-Mart in Garner NC had this book for sale recently! (Of course, I had already bought it!) but it was about 1/2 to 1/3 of the original price!

mythunderbird · June 18, 2006

they are so much fun to make. i have made 6 of them lol, if any of you need help on the faces and other parts, let me know:manyheart

Thank you Tiggerhale. I may check that out. (or I may not since I avoid Walmart at all costs.) I will have to get up the guts to face them. They are always so cluttered and busy...you can't get through the aisles and then you have to wait 30-45 minutes just to check out. I don't go there unless I have to. I usually go to Target instead. If its craft related, I go to Micheals or Hobby Lobby. Maybe I will call them and see if they have it in.

I can't see the pic of the book but is it for the stuffed animals or the afghans? If it is for the stuffed animals I would love to join otherwise I've already mad one of the afghans and don't want to venture there again. Let me know. I just picked up the stuffed animals pattern book at Walmart for $1 on clearance.

lilybean31905 · June 19, 2006

sorry about that, for the stuffed animals. And I would have to say finish as you please, we all have out own lives to deal w/ and as much as we love to crochet, the laundry doesnt get done w/out us. At least not in my house anyway. lol.

I have never done a CAL before is there anything that needs to be done before getting enough people to join in?

Lavelle26 · June 19, 2006

I think this happens however we want it to happen. We just keep checking in with our progress and help each other stay motivated Some CALS are more strict than others and require you to complete so much by a certain time. Mybe we could set a goal or something to help us out in that regard without being too strict, ya know? Like say, one bear a month? Does this work for everyone?

lilybean31905 · June 19, 2006

works for me, except I already have 2 done ( except for the eyes)

Lavelle26 · June 20, 2006

Just a question...how many are in the book?

Lady_of_Roses · June 20, 2006

10 Bears are in the book.

FelixLake · June 20, 2006

That's fine with me. I have 2 done and a third one about half done.

I'll probably go faster then one a month to begin with, but then slow down and need some encouragement to keep going.

Around74 · June 20, 2006

So can I still join even if I don't want to make all 10. I have requests from my DD and DS for 1 each and one of my friend's DD.

lilybean31905 · June 20, 2006

yes yes join, you may want ot finish all of them once you see how they come out.its ok if you dont finish them all anyway IMO

FelixLake · June 20, 2006

I agree. Join for one or all. I may not finish all of them because I plan on using yarn I have in my stash, and I probably don't have all the right colors.

The more the merrier, IMHO. :cheer

Marlene · June 21, 2006

I'm going shopping over the weekend and will pickup the book and supplies. I can't wait! My daughter is just going to love them!

hiptobeme · June 22, 2006

OK I have the pattern and I can try and get some yarn this weekend. Ill try to make one but my crochet never comes out right :no I might need alot of encouragement

Lavelle26 · June 22, 2006

We will give you loads of encouragement. We are good at that around here. :clap

hiptobeme · June 24, 2006

Thanks Lavelle26. well I went by my local Joanns tonight and they had a real crappy selection of yarns which I was really surprised at. But I bought some limegreen caron simply soft brite to get started. Wish me luck! :box

FelixLake · June 24, 2006

I've got 3 bears done now. From left to right is Champ Bear, Goodluck Bear and Funshine Bear. This is the order I did them in and do you notice that they are getting bigger. I haven't changed the pattern any, so I must be getting more aggressive with the stuffing. I think I overstuffed Funshine. I like the feel of the Goodluck Bear, so from now on I'm going to use him as my model.

The other pic shows the back of Champ Bear. I found some red heart buttons to use on their behind. I used regular ww yarn and felt for the face, feet and tummy symbols.

Enjoy.

Lavelle26 · June 24, 2006

Those turned out so cute. I love that little heart on the bottom. How cute.

Jozzie · June 24, 2006

:cheer ya know, if you do these in baby yarn and a small hook, they turn out soooooooo cute!!!! :manyheart post photos if you do, please!!!

:manyheart

busymomof7 · June 24, 2006

When I view this thread, I can NOT see any pictures! I am really new here, so I am probably not doing something that I ought to. A little help would be appreciated.

Now I am really confused because when I scan down to the end of this page that I am on right now to post a reply to thread, I see a "Topic Review" with photos of stuffed crocheted care bears!! Where did that come from and why did I not see it before?? I am feeling like a total dunce. :think

Also, I am assuming that "CAL" stands for "crochet along," right?

Thanks for bearing with me patiently! :hug

busymomof7 · June 24, 2006

I missed the photos I referred to in my last post because they were on page 3.

HOWEVER, this is what was said in the first post on this thread:

here is a pic of the book, anyone want to do a CAL to try to get them all finished? Let me know this would be great.

And I never saw any photos that she referred to. Can someone tell me why??

Thanks again for your patience!
