It is time for our Crochet Along! The day is finally here! Can you tell how excited I am? I met up with one of my friends (and a reader, at that) last Friday for coffee and pulled out my orange yarn. "Shhh," I said, "I'm staring the crochet along a little early... I HAVE to finish this in time!" She laughed and pulled out her 2 complete pumpkins, "I already started too," was her response! All that being said, I am still not completely finished with my pumpkin. Actually, I am a bit further than this picture though. I have since gathered the bottom. Then I realized that I left my fiberfill at home and could not finish my project on my lunchbreak, but must wait until I got home.
Have any of you finished your pumpkins? Remember, you have to finish by Sunday, Halloween, to be considered for the prize drawing!
Once I figure it out, I will put up a Mr. Linky on this post, so you can all link to your finished project pages. I will give you one entry in the drawing for utilizing the linky thing and linking to your post. I will give you a second entry for leaving a comment saying who you are and how your pumpkin turned out (and if you didn't actually join us in the CAL, just say who you are and why you didn't join us!). If you do not have a blog (ahem, Mel), please email me a picture of your pumpkin and I will post it, giving you one more entry. So 2 chance to win - one for a comment, and one for linking up / email a picture of your pumpkin. Contest closes Sunday at midnight.
Oh yeah, wanna know what you can win? Well remember the pic from last week? You still have the pattern from BGG and choice of yarn color and notecards, but I am also going to toss in a few hooks. I just got a brand new set of Susan Bates plastic hooks from
Missie (also, thanks for teaching me how to use the linky thing!) and I will share 2 of them with you. So you get to pick any 2 hooks, between the sizes of F and K. :)
Go ahead and comment away -- and link up :)

June! I'm so glad you found us! And donating them to the SPCA is a brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteMy pumpkin's been done for a couple of days now, but I just finally got my blog post about it done! My first CAL was a success! Thanks for "hosting" it!
ReplyDeleteWhat yarn did you use for your pumpkin? I love the color. Hoping to give this a try soon. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks again to everyone who joined in. I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarn. The orange was terracotta, I believe. Not sure about the green. Can't wait to see your finished product!
