Beginning Felting Crochet-Along

[esta]

I just found this cal.

 

I have always felt nervous about felting, but I would love to give it a go.

 

Can't wait to start...

Is it too late to join?

[dsabol]

No, it's not too late. We're waiting for the pattern.

 

Has anyone heard from the originator of this forum since Monday? It looks like she hasn't responded since then.

 

I'm curious about when we're getting the pattern.

[OneCraftySAHM]

I think she said we would start it on Monday...I think she's going out of town. I'm actually heading out now until late Monday!

 

Happy Crocheting! Can't wait to start felting!

 

Talk to you all soon :-)

Ok I am in. Have pulled a few patterns off the net but really not sure how to go about it and this sounds like fun..Cant wait to get the pattern

[ginamaria73]

I'm excited too. I've never done a crochet along before. Other than saying I'm in--do I have to do anything else?

purchase your yarn and hook and your are in with the rest of us! (see the first post as to what type yarn and how much)

[crochetprincess66]

I'll be getting my yarn and hook this weekend. Can't wait to start.

I got my yarn and hook today. I have never crocheted anything with such a huge hook before. I'm going to practice with it a bit this weekend.

 

It was hard to pick colors not knowing what I was making. For me I need to see it in order to visualize the way I would like to make it. I got the Lion Prints in Majestic Mountain ( I think that is what it was called) and got a brown as a cooridinating color.

Theresa - thanks for the heads up about this post. I am going to go shopping this weekend and will pick up my yarn. I have never felted and always wanted to try it !!! I can't wait

[ginamaria73]

K..I got dark brown & cream Paton's merino wool & some brown sparkly eyelash yarn just in case and last but not least-my P hook. So! I am ready.

Ooh, that color combination sounds pretty...I was looking at the yarn the other day and I couldn't decide what colors to get, because I didn't know what it was going to look like. I almost went for fall colors (oranges & reds), but I don't really wear clothes that color. I thought I might wait until we get the pattern and run out that day to get the yarn.

 

I like the sound of yours though. What brand of eyelash yarn did you get?

[andrea2006]

i have patons sws in wedgewood and i also bought patons some grey with a country blue, i couldnt wait to start and since i knit as well decided to start the boga bag. hopefully it will turn out fine.

[Everyday Crochet]

I believe we are all doing the same pattern right? That Michelle designed and will pm to us on Monday... is that correct?

[andrea2006]

Well we are I thought but didnt hear when we were getting the pattern so I began to knit one on my own. I did by different yarn to do hers as well.That way I can compare the knitting one with the crochet one.

I think it is some lion brand..I'm not positive-but it has sparkles in it. I've been wondering what to use it for, and this might be it. I'll have to wait for Monday & see what the pattern sounds like too. am so excited about this..the suspense is killing me! You know I was thinking about oranges & reds too, I really like fall colors. I think that would make a beautiful bag.Even if you don't wear those colors, it would be pretty.

OK, I am ready to go - I went and bought my yarn. I am going with black and grey and I forgot to buy my fun fur but can always go back and get some. Now I have to remember that I belong to this crochet along!!!!

[caednkat]

I've got my hook and my main color

Patons Classic Wool Merino in Royal Purple

 

for my accent color I'm trying to decide between Peacock (dark teal) and Harvest (Dark teal, Royal purple, leaf green, and burgandy verigated).

 

I'm leaning more towards the harvest right now. Either way I'm waiting until tomorrow to pick it up in hopes that Michaels has a coupon.

I'll pick up one of the skeins of yarn at Hobby Lobby tomorrow..yes they do have the 40% coupon this week. And hooks are on sale also, so I'll pick up my hook as well.

 

I'm still not sure if I can felt in my washer. Someone over at the felting forum here at Crochetville suggested that I crochet a swatch, throw it in my washer and see if that will felt. I'll do that tomorrow night.

 

Assuming I can felt in my machine (or I get good instructions on how to felt without a maching), I'll probably be about a day behind most of y'all in the actual crocheting of the bag, but I can easily catch up....depending on how simple or complex the pattern is. I'm assuming it's a fairly simple bag that can be crocheted in a few hours.

 

That is, I'm hoping.

[Mapleleaf Mom]

Count me in too, I've been wanting to felt a purse , this will keep me on track. I have my yarn, I just have to double check for the 'p' hook!!

 

I've never done a crochet along this should be fun!!!
