Crochet Christmas Mystery CAL

 

I thought it would be a good idea to polish my crochet skills with small projects, like Crochet-A-Longs so that I can see if I am doing it right. This was such a fun CAL to participate in. Giving you the 5 different designs to add to a stocking, a holiday afghan or even turn into a garland if you like. These projects warmed my heart to make. The pattern was written by Teri Heathcote from Knot Your Nana's Crochet.

Crochet Bag

 

This bag was so fun to make! I think mine came out larger than expected, but besides that, what a fun pattern.

My first Crochet Slippers

 

Here they are my first pair of slippers for the Mystery Crochet A long! I am so pleased they turned out the same size! I feel like I am actually accomplishing something good when that happens. I sized them for my daughter but they were a little big for her as you can see in the photo, but when my dear hubby heard I was crocheting slippers he said he wanted some so we ended up having him try them on and what do you know it was meant to be, Mr. Cinderella has found his slippers... ha ha!

 Another great Mystery Crochet A Long pattern.

This was such an interesting Crochet-A-Long. If it weren't for the wonderful instructor I may have had a heck of a time.

Mystery Crochet A Long Finished!

 

I finished my Medium Mystery Crochet Along this last summer but I have been so busy that I hadn't uploaded the finished blanket. Mystery Crochet Along patterns were posted on a Facebook group I am a part of. This is my second project with them. So far there have been 3 projects as far as I know. This Afghan, It is a little off I had to make 2 extra squares so I'm not sure where I messed up. It was my first ever Afghan made with squares. It is more of a lap-ghan I think they call it. I'm short stuff so I just love how it turned out.!

Flowers and More Flowers

 

I made it this far there's no stopping me now! I have done my first square over, with the right hook size. This project was labeled the Medium Mystery Crochet A Long! Yikes! I am not use to projects with so much to them! I am excited to see how my work turns out in the end! But for now this is as far as I have come along.  

 I am making progress!

 :O)

Mystery Crochet A Long take 1

 

Here is the first take on what seems to be a crochet square, well it is supposed to be square. I made it this far before deciding to purchase the yarn that was suggested for the pattern. I am not good with making things turn out square or rectangle for that matter...lol!  I thought I was doing so great until I finished off the last corner and it just didn't work out right... I stretched it around and played with it till it looked good for the picture.

Luck would be in my stars, because the pattern was altered, my new yarn arrived and I will have to start anew.
