Hello my happy stitching friends! I hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend and are ready to make this next week a great week full of smiles, laughter and happiness! :D


Today marks week 7 in our Crochet Along! Can you believe it?! WEEK 7 ALREADY!!! Everyone has been doing such an amazing job with this project! All the colors and styles are so beautiful! And now we really get to have some fun!!! This week we get to design our beautiful butterflies and sew them together!!! From what I see it looks like many of us are ready to start this next big step so here we go! YAY!


I attached some other pictures I found of other designs to help encourage your ideas for designing these beauties! Thank you @CrochetGranny for sharing with us last week! Remember ladies, make them your own! Let your creativity flow! This week our pretty butterflies will fly! YAY!!! (Yes I am only a little excited ;P )


SO...I have some exciting, great fun news to share this week!!!! You may have noticed I mentioned there will be a prize! :D Yes....A PRIZE!!! We will be taking a vote in next week's thread for our favorite butterfly! So please, as soon as you are completed with your butterflies be sure to post a picture of them TO THIS THREAD! I will get all of our beauties together for us to vote on next week.


Now...do you want to know what the prize will be??? Do ya?!? DO YA?!?! The lucky winner will be awarded 1,000 GOLD COINS!!!  Yes you read that right! You have all done such an amazing job and have been so patient, you deserve a chance to win a prize! Also for every butterfly submission I will award 20 gold coins to each person. So be sure to get those pictures uploaded ASAP so they can be entered in for the vote!  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D


*** IMPORTANT ***
Since these are our last weeks with Project 1, I want to know who would like to continue in these stitching journeys. If you want to continue, I would like you to start looking through your to-do lists for our next Crochet Along. We will be starting this very soon and this time YOU guys will be choosing the patterns on which we will vote. Please start gathering 1 or 2 of your favorites. Keep on eye out over the next week or so for the Project 2 ideas thread, this is where you will be submitting those patterns and I will submit them into a Project 2 Vote. Please remember the pattern MUST be on ChCross! This is also an Amigurumi CA so please only submit patterns of Ami's. Thank you all for your support :)

CROCHET ALONG - STITCH SCHEDULE
09/02/2013- CROCHET ALONG - PROJECT 1 - WEEK 1
Please take this time to download and review the pattern in its entirety! You are going to want to plan out your colors for each piece and take note of any materials you may need to purchase. If you have any questions you may ask them below, but please, if it pertains to a later portion of our pattern try to hold off until we all get there so there is no confusion.

Once you have your materials gathered you may start on the Head / Body of the pattern. Because this portion is the largest piece we are going to stretch this out for 2 weeks. If anyone needs more time do not be afraid to ask! We can always add on a third week if needed.

NOTE: The designer has chosen to start each piece with a Ch 2, SC 6 in second chain from hook. If you prefer, as I do, you can substitute the Ch 2, SC 6 for a magic circle with SC 6. If you do not know how to work the magic circle,YouTube has some wonderful tutorials!   *Please note, this only stands as a reference, you do not need to use the magic circle

09/09/2013 - CROCHET ALONG - PROJECT 1 - WEEK 2
Head /Body continued, first weekly check-in

09/16/2013- CROCHET ALONG - PROJECT 1 - WEEK 3
Nose and Antennae, weekly check-in
**EDITED **  Now includes also working the Eyes / Eyelids from the original Week 4


09/23/2013- CROCHET ALONG - PROJECT 1 - WEEK 4
Top Wings Part 1 of 4 (Top bump - Make 2) and Top Wings Part 2 of 4 (Middle Bump - Make 2), weekly check-in
*Please label these pieces so as to not mix them up, I suggest labeling a sandwich bag
**EDITED **  
Now includes also working Part 2 of 4 as these are very small pieces

09/30/2013- CROCHET ALONG - PROJECT 1 - WEEK 5
Top Wings Part 3 of 4 (Last Bump - Make 2) and Top Wings Part 4 of 4 (Assembling the Top Wing, includes Rows 1-11), weekly check-in

10/07/2013- CROCHET ALONG - PROJECT 1 - WEEK 6
Bottom Wings (Make 2), weekly check-in.
**Because these wings are quite large I was thinking we should stretch this part of the pattern out for 2 weeks. There are a few people who could also use this time to catch up with the group. If anyone needs more time or if the 1 week is plenty leave a comment in the post directly below for discussion and we can change the schedule accordingly. Thank you for your input!


10/14/2013- CROCHET ALONG - PROJECT 1 - WEEK 7
Embellishing the Wings and final assembly (now it's getting super exciting!), weekly check-in

***Please post a picture of your finished butterfly this week as soon as possible so I can get them together for the final vote***

10/21/2013- CROCHET ALONG - PROJECT 1 - WEEK 8
Final check-in and vote for best project! Keep an eye out this week for the Project 2 Ideas Thread!!!

Well you did a beautiful job! That was a lot of work! Turned out so great!  Post time 2013-10-17 17:45
Thanks for the rating :-)! I hand sewed the beads onto the wings. I need to add a bit of bling, lol. I was going to put on false eyelashes with fabric glue but decided to embroider them instead.  Post time 2013-10-16 16:26
