Yay! I'm in. I've never done a CAL before though. What are the rules?

[miller3602]

"A CrochetAlong is one of the many great reasons to be a member of Crochetville .

 

It usually starts with someone coming up with an idea for an item to crochet that may take a lot of time or patience . It may involve several different stitches , or it may be a fairly simple pattern . There are really no limits to the ideas you could use . It may be a requirement that everyone involved makes an afghan of the same type pattern, but you can each come up with your own color arrangements,etc, so that everyone is working on the exact same pattern, but each afghan will come out as differently as each personality in the group .

 

It is a great way to share your love of crochet, your talent and advice . It is also a great place to meet new people from all over the world!

To join, it's as simple as a click of the mouse. Just choose the group that sounds interesting to you . Click on Reply, and post a little something about yourself, what pattern you want to use and colors, etc .

 

To make a Crochetalong more fun and successful, it's nice if you come in and post frequently on your progress . It will also keep you motivated to finish your item, because we all become "cheerleaders" for each other .

It makes crocheting a lot of fun when you join these groups. There is most usually no deadline to meet, no date you must sign up by, etc .

 

The rules are usually very open-ended. Start when you want ... finish when you want . It's best ,though , if once you sign up, you try to continue with the project on a steady basis so that you can get THAT project done and be ready to move on to a new one .

 

New Crochetalongs open up often , so you may want to get one done so that you can join in on another one . There is no restriction on signing up for more than one at a time, either. If you feel that you can juggle more than one , go for it!

 

There is only one negative thing that I have found about these groups. They are HIGHLY addicting . Once you complete one, you'll immediately want to start another .

( They are kinda like that old potato chip commercial : No one can eat just one )

If you join one crochetalong, I can almost guarantee, that you'll want to do another !

 

Come on in and join one today. EVERYONE is welcome . No level of experience is required . Need help ? We're here ."

[leesespieces]

[jap]

[mimi_mia]

I'm definately in on this one....I have a few ideas

[miller3602]

Anyone else wanna' join?

[loopy_jess]

Hey, count me in please! (thanks for letting me know miller3602)

 

I've got a few ideas that I want to try already

[miller3602]

OK, we will start...NOW!

[leesespieces]

i think i'm gonna make another one with a not so huge head and make it a bunny that looks like hello kitty's little friend (i have a poster of hello kitty and for some reason there's a bunny sitting on her head)

I was confused for a second--I thought you meant the bunny was sitting on its own head!

 

Anyway, I thought I'd try to turn it in to a caricature of our family dog. But I can't decide: To use Fun Fur, or not to use Fun Fur? That is the question.

[loopy_jess]

I just started mine last night... I'm very excited as it works up so quickly. Mine is going to be a little alien - with tentacles rather than legs. For some reason the large head made me think "Alien"! straight away

[loopy_jess]

I've just finished working up the body, and I was struck by how like a pear it looks!

 

 

Hopefully the finished alien will make an appearance soon...

[mimi_mia]

That is great, I think it looks perfect as a pear!! Looking forward to seeing the alien...

I finished an animal, but I lent out my camera so I can't show a picture until next week

[loopy_jess]

Hooray! I've just finished my UFO - and I'm rather pleased with the result

 

Meet Tenticular - the baby alien:

 

 

 

He is friendly and affectionate, and doesn't plan to take over the earth (just yet...)

[mimi_mia]

...Tenticular is fabulous....what a great alien!!!

[bobwilson123]

ooooh loopy jess he is fantastic

[CrochetKitten]

That's really cute! He looks like the aliens from The Simpsons.

[loopy_jess]

Thanks all!

 

He does look a bit like one of the Simpson's aliens, I had to really resist giving him those large pointy teeth that they have

 

He was so easy to make that I'm half tempted to start another UFO and see what I end up with.

[bobwilson123]

i will get some and post it soon

Cute! I think their faces turned out just fine. I like the little antennae on the red one.

 

I finally had a chance to start mine last night. I'm done with the body, and I'm determined to finish the rest of it today! So hopefully I'll have pictures soon.
