Lucy The Sock Monkey Presents…

Crochet Along
Lucy the Sock Monkey Presents a Unique One-of-a-Kind Scarf Presentation.

Crochet Along Begins Sept 9, 2014

Yarnspirations proudly introduces a unique Knit & Crochet Along Adventure starting September 9th, 2014.

I received the ‘low down’ on this crochet adventure back in June 2014 and I was really blown away by the concept. This crochet along is unique and very unusual. I’m not allowed to let the ‘yarn’ out of the bag, sort of speak.

I can tell you a few details though. Lucy, the sock monkey, will be sharing the adventure with you on how to create a unique and absolutely ‘one-of-a-kind’ scarf. Simply brilliant idea. She will be giving you clues each week. How can a scarf be ‘one-of-a-kind’ if Lucy is sharing the clues each week? Just you wait and see.

Lucy will be using the new Caron United Yarns for the crochet along adventure. You can sign yourself up now if you would like to participate. It’s worth it if you ask me. Have fun and enjoy your mystery scarf!

This challenge is being run by Yarnspirations.

    I am disappointed at the rate the clues come in. I have yet to receive clue 6 which was due today. I am trying to do all 3 scarves. They had you buy 2 skeins of each color that you were using and there is no way you need 2 of ea h olor. I left them a note on their site.

      Is there a place that lists how much yarn I need to complete the challenge? I want to do it but don’t know if I have enough yarn on hand.

      I’m with Charlotte. I know this isn’t one of Mikey’s challenges, but I ordered my yarn forever ago. I got it yesterday after I had begun sweating having it before the start and now no start. Very strange indeed. Nothing on Yarnspirations or via email. They must have had some sort of delay with their suppliers or something and backed off the start. Just guessing.

    I just signed up for both. Looking forward to it. I’m hoping I can find the yarn in a store close by since I won’t have time to order it online and then wait. This will be my very first crochet/knit along.

    I still love the new stitches I learned from the sitichcation. I can’t learn by reading a pattern I have to be shown how to do something and then I can do it. I have shared the YouTube links with lots of people I know who have the same problem.

      Is it just me or does that seem like a lot of yarn for a scarf?

        I believe it is to promote the yarn sales a portion of which go to fund college for the children of veterans. Very good cause.
