<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi Henry.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I\u2019ve been thinking for a while it might be fun to do some kind of knit or crochet-along, but I\u2019m not sure what kind of project would let the biggest number of people join in.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I think the tee might be a good group project. It\u2019s got a nice eyelet detail along the seams, but is actually seamless, knitted top-down, and you get a nice top at the end.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Or we could make a crochet throw, like the one Becky just shared.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Or we could do something completely different.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">What do people think? Would we like to do this? What should we make?</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Tracy</span></p>

</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Can anyone recommend a pattern like that?</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I see lots of afghan books on BlindMice, but I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re what I want or not. And the ones I find on LionBrandYarn are based on color, not interesting textures.</span></p>
