2 Mystery Crochet Along

I started my second 2012 Mystery Crochet Along on January 15th, hosted by Ravelry's Mystery Stitchery Group. Visit Ravelry, a Knit and Crochet Community to join other Crochet and Knit Alongs and download an array of Free Patterns. This MCAL required holding four strands of Worsted Weight Cotton or Wool. I choose Lily Sugar'n Cream in Soft Ecru, Yellow, Indigo and Red.

For the Crochet Hook, I used Hook size N-13 (9mm) available at Michael's and other Craft and Yarn Stores. Crocheting with four strands is a bit different, but the project moves quicker than crocheting with the traditional one strand. Here are the images of my project from start to finish...

Surprise, Surprise... It is an "Oven Mitten". This is the actual Ravelry Pattern used for this project. I enjoyed participating in this MCAL. This project was fun to make and turned out to be a Functional item. Happy Crafting !!!

0 Mystery Crochet Along - 2012 Edition

My New Crafty Year started with a Bang. One of my New Year's Resolutions; to finish the many WIP projects is now on its way. So far I finished one project. Oh well... I have the rest of the year to finish them. I love participating in Crochet or Knitting Mystery Alongs. I am excited to start my first 2012 Mystery Crochet along, hosted by Let's Crochet.com

The Final Day of the first 2012 Mystery Crochet Along hosted by Let's Crochet.com was posted and the Mystery has been solved!!! It's a Monkey Cozy !!! I just love the end result of this Crochet Along. It is odd, but the Yarn Colors I picked for this project were inspired by this "Valentine's Beanie Baby" I purchased at a local Supermarket. To my surprise, the Mystery Project was also a Monkey !!!
