BGA1L: Welcome to the thread Bga1l. Crochet tutorials begin on page 4 of the thread. Hooks and yarn can be obtained in major shops where clothing accessories are sold. Bigger hooks can be custom made for you by Bobijoe. Enjoy! |

My suggestion is a make-up pouch/hook pouch/ drawstring bag for the CAL |
Re: My Crochet Fantasy by Lumiadee(f): 7:28am On Apr 30, 2016 |
trublvr: madam trublvr longest time, CAL is bringing everyone out. thats great. any project picked is fine by me but i believe we can pick two. group ourselves into 2 groups each group will work on any of the two , when they are through, they can start the second project. since it will be short and easy projects, i believe it will make it more fun and give room for variety. i go with everyone's idea of a throw pillow cover and trublvr's draw string bag. sorry for the long epistle. hope we all have a fab weekend. 1 Like |

First of all a massive thank you to Madam Ynnk for providing this platform for us. God bless you as you have helped unleash some talents here. Updates on the guidelines below: The "My Crochet Fantasy" Crochet-A-Long (CAL) Basic guidelines: (UPDATE!) ●Duration of each is CAL session is 2- 3 months max. ●Suggestions of projects by anyone is welcome, however it must be a useful item, which is small enough enough to be finished on time. ●Two projects will be selected from the suggestions made and you are free to start them in any order. ●If you suggest an item and it is chosen as one of the CAL project - please provide a clear image or weblink to the pattern. Other suggestions will be put on the list for upcoming CAL sessions. ● If you cannot find a pattern, or You choose not to provide one, you can nominate someone else to provide a pattern or participants can freestyle. ●Everyone can choose their own colour scheme to make the project in. ● Everyone can tweek project to suit them i.e if we do a throw pillow cover you may want to add buttons or make it envelope back so you can take it off to wash, or if we do table mats you can decide to make it a bit bigger to fit a table you have. Etc etc.... let your creativity shine. ● When choosing a pattern please bear in mind that not everyone has a large selection of hook sizes and yarn weights at their disposal. So for the initial suggestions let's keep it a bit conservative to materials that are readily available so that as many people as possible can join in. Hopefully we can get more daring as our talents grow and we acquire more materials. (If a large hook or chunky wool is required for the project and you use a smaller hook/thinner yarn bear in mind you will likely need to have a few more rounds to get it to the requires size. - all part of the creativity) ● If you have an Un-Finished Object (UFO) similar to the selected CAL project then you are free to use the opportunity to finish that. i.e. if you have an unfinished afghan that is gathering dust somewhere, rather than start a new afghan project with the rest of the CAL you can decide to finish that instead. ● If you are new to crochet, dont run away! We are all here to help each other. You shall be a master someday. Happy Crocheting. 3 Likes 1 Share |
