Hi there! I know you guys started it today, but would it be too late for me to join in? This sounds like fun and it would be my first crochet-a-long.

Jump right on in! Welcome to the Mystery CAL!

Hurray! Time to get my little girl some milk, set her up with some PBS and start crocheting!

[Gardener]

I am up to round 3 already.

 

Sarah, I just want to tell you that your pattern is very well written. I like the way you put in things like DC in next 45 stitches, rather than DC in remaining stitches. It makes it really easy to know that you are on track.

 

I ended up finding a skein of RHSS in a light green and that is what I am using. I"m not crazy about crocheting with RH because it is so stiff that it makes my hands hurt, but since stiff is good in this case, I'm going to ignore that.

[LittleJadeFrog]

I haven't posted yet because I wasn't sure I was going to join. I finished my other project last night and searched for another to do. I finally went to bed early 'cuz I couldn't find anything interesting. I logged on this morning and voila! I'm compelled to join.

 

Accept me?

Thank you! and I know what you mean about the RHSS, but trust me, on friday, you will be glad you used a stiff yarn. I usually try to zip right thru my projects, (Impatient ) but with this one, I took my time, b/c it was for me and all of you, it's very theraputic to sit down and take a breath, and do something nice for yourself once in a while.

Yay! yes! You're in!!! Lots of people don't "join" they just lurk, but we love them too!

I'm so guilty of lurking most the time! But, I'm glad to join in this time, yay!

Well, It's Tuesday morning and I just stumbled upon this CAL. I guess that means I have to join - what with all that RHSS in my stash and all. I think I can handle 4 rounds today on top of my other duties...

Yay! I did the original in brown/coffee color, but I have some orchid, it's a lilac color, I may make up another one too.

I am finished with today's instructions......now I'm impatiently waiting for tomorrows, (except of course that tomorrow is a work day for me, so I won't be crocheting until evening.....)

[a_stitchintime]

...

 

got my , , and ... kids are off at school, so here I go off to the instructions!

 

oh... I have opted for Caron Jewel Box yarn (found a bunch in my stash) that I LOVE, and that has been waiting to be something special, just for me!

 

I will be making 1 in tourmaline & jade, and 1 with snowflake obsidian & moonstone. Since this is "therapy", I decided to go all the way... and what better present than gems AND crochet, I'm thinking!!! :applause

 

you rock, Sarah!:hug

[Daugherty4inNC]

Okay I'm in. Here is my first four rows in RHSS Blueberry Pie. Hope this is what it is supposed to look like.

[bgnagy]

All of your yarn selections sound - and look - very nice. I've done today's section - I just grabbed some RHSS red from my stash, so nothing exciting. I'm anxious to see tomorrow's instructions though.

[teakaycee]

Okay.... I've decided to make 2... I have one done in Aran... keeping it basic and easy for possible decorating. The second one I havent decided yet... need to go for a dive in my stash and see. I figure... might as well make 2 ... one can be a gift... unless I love it so much and get greedy... and keep it!

 

Thank you Sarah!!!
