Lets start a new crochet a long

Materials
Color A - White cotton yarn
Color B - Variagated cotton yarn
Size I crochet Hook

This is another small project to use up some of that leftover yarn. Will give everyone a few days to get their supplies together before I start posting the directions.


I did have a different project in mind but havent had a chance to go stateside to get materials I needed so had to go for a different project.

I love doing small projects myself because I donate them to my church for their bazaar. But I also do several larger items , like right now I am working on an afaghan. I would like to do a few larger projects as craft a longs but would like to know if anyone would be interested. Im asking because when we dont know what we are making we might not want to spend the money on something we might end up not liking or have no use for. I would like some ideas on what everyone would like to see offered. Myself I wouldnt mind making a totelbag with the plastic or wooden handles, a prayer shawl, a caplet , a poncho just to name a couple. Please post if you would be interested in any of these.
I have lots of small projects so would keep them going as we work on larger projects.
Also Happypainter would like to see an afaghan craft a long get started.
I was wondering how many knitters would like to take part , I dont do much knitting but could manage a few simple projects.
Would like some feedback please. Thanks Meg

Here we go

I know this is an old thread, but a good idea.
