[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Crochet or knit-along

[Slery]

None of my sweaters have cowls. I like them as a great alternative to scarves.

>>> 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?

>>> 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.
