The pattern looks great . Thanks soooooooooo much for sharing it .Would anybody know of an equivalent yarn I could use please ? I am in rural Australia , and have limited resources here , , lol .

Noreen, I saw the butterfly bag pattern on your blog...it is gorgeous! However, is it partially knitted and partially crocheted? Is that the one for the CAL? Or is there going to be a butterfly bag that is all crocheted?

 

[Debbi-a1]

I love the bag too, the colors are wonderful. But I don't knit (well I can sort of, well not really... but choose not to). I would love a crochet version too, could that be possible? It looks like from your talent you could do that.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'd be interested in doing the CAL too, but I only crochet. I'd love to see a pattern using only crochet.

Its a great pattern by the way! Thanks for sharing!

Hello Everyone!

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you about this, but I was having trouble posting to crochetville.

Hopefully, it will upload now!

 

Here is the first installment of the Butterfly Bag crochet along (or spoolknit along)

You can do it in either thread or yarn, your choice!

I love flowers. So do butteflies, so I designed a simple crocheted flower for the butterfly bag crochet along:

I have been working on the first butterfly motif for months and months, and as I was proofing the design, I was delighted to see a second, incredibly simple butterfly motif emerge.

Here's the link for part 6: The Butterfly motifs

I decided that I wanted a fairy with a sense of humour on my Butterfly bag for my crochet along.

So, I turned a jester into a fairy, and a flat one at that! I 've posted the pics and how to's on my blog:

Hallo

No, the Butterfly bag that is part knitting embellished with crochet is not the butterfly bag crochet along.

I've just posted links to the postings for the crochet along bag.....

It was the knit/crochet bag that inspired me to do the crochet along butterfly bag......

Here's the link for the knit/crochet one, in case anyone is interested...

Sorry for the confusion! and sorry to be so slow in getting back to you!

hugs all round, Noreen

 

Noreen, I saw the butterfly bag pattern on your blog...it is gorgeous! However, is it partially knitted and partially crocheted? Is that the one for the CAL? Or is there going to be a butterfly bag that is all crocheted?

 

[Noreen Crone-Findlay]

You're in!

hugs, Noreen http://www.hankeringforyarn.com

I posted the first 8 links further down in the chain of notes here.....

Count me in! I'd love to do a butterfly bag CAL

Hi Lisa

No worries on the timeline! I am working on it, bit by bit, while also preparing for my son's wedding and teaching at the Knit and Crochet Summer Show in Manchester, and then my daughter's wedding.... so it's an evolving thing!

hugs, Noreen http://www.hankeringforyarn.com

I've posted the links for the CAL in the chain of notes here.....

 

quote=Lisaizme;740256]depends on how long it will be going on. I can't take on any more new projects until around the end of May/ beginning of June. If it will still be going on then... I'd love to join in.

[Noreen Crone-Findlay]

I hope she'll love it!

hugs, Noreen http://www.hankeringforyarn.com

[Noreen Crone-Findlay]

NOt to worry, Krystal.... yarn is perfect for the CAL!

I LOVE butterflies, but this sounds like thread, and I'm more of a yarn person. For the "right" thing, I might be tempted to try, though!

[Noreen Crone-Findlay]

It is indeed just perfect for spring! Celebrating all those butterflies and blossoms!

Noreen http://www.hankeringforyarn.com

I am very interested. This sounds like a perfect spring project!

 

Tina

[Noreen Crone-Findlay]

It's perfect for you, Tracie! the metaphor is right on!

I love butterflies! Count me on, although I have one project I'm working on that I need to get finished first.
