My First Crochet Along - It was So Fun !

Mystery Crochet Along  @ Cami's Creative Commodities

I had never done a "Crochet Along" before and wasn't sure I could.

 Each Day only a part of the Crochet Pattern is given,

and you have to follow the instructions without pictures!!!!

Now I am a visual person and need pics.

Before we started she gave us a supplies list:

Red heart yarn - our choice

Little bit of Black yarn, batting,

Ribbon, hook and yarn needle.

Not too many supplies..So I had some hope!

Here was my progress.....

Day 1 - A Big Ball.

Day 2 - A Small ball... hum..

Days 1 - 5

Big Ball,  little Ball,  Med. Ball,

to half circles, and two tubes?

I am starting to to think ..PIG?  

Okay..All the pieces.....we now have 4 tubes, and 

 two black circles..yep I am thinking pig.

Here is my finished "Bear"..LOL.

 Yes, it is a bear.

My Son says it is a pig, my dil says it's a monkey..

But it is really a bear.

I choose red yarn because  I already had it..

now I wished I would have chosen brown or cream.

This was very fun and am looking forward to doing this again..

as a matter of fact I am thinking of hosting one myself.

Something Dog related.

Anyone interested?
