I thought of another knit-along possibility.  I know a simple colorwork technique that comes out looking very nice.  I have a pattern for a cowl using it.  It’s a nice project, and doesn’t take a long time to finish.

Hi Henry.

I’ve been thinking for a while it might be fun to do some kind of knit or crochet-along, but I’m not sure what kind of project would let the biggest number of people join in.

We did knit-alongs at my local yarn store until sadly it closed.  It was fun.  It was a chance to learn some techniques and share the journey with other people.  As I recall, we made a complicated shawl that taught me a lot of new techniques, an interesting cardigan, and a t-shirt top that proved very popular.

I think the tee might be a good group project.  It’s got a nice eyelet detail along the seams, but is actually seamless, knitted top-down, and you get a nice top at the end.

Or we could make a crochet throw, like the one Becky just shared.

Or we could do something completely different.

What do people think?  Would we like to do this?  What should we make?

Tracy

Hi Tracy and Everyone, and, I hope that a pattern can be shared on this list so that others can enjoy making it too.

How about we have some sort of a Crochet Along?

I’m thinking I’d like to make a throw using crochet.  I don’t mind some color changes, but I’m more interested in texture.  Shells, or flowers, something like that. 

Can anyone recommend a pattern like that?

I see lots of afghan books on BlindMice, but I don’t know if they’re what I want or not.  And the ones I find on LionBrandYarn are based on color, not interesting textures.

Tracy
