Crochet Bouquet Crochet Alongs

Readers–this is an old, old page, which I’m archiving as a blog post. The Yahoo group is no longer active. The links here may not work. Any time you need help with a pattern from any of my books, please contact me at knitandcrochetwithsuzann at outlook dot com. And feel free to organize a flower crochet-along of your own!

Welcome to the Crochet Bouquet Flower Crochet Alongs! I’m Suzann, the author of Crochet Bouquet, and organizer of these Crochet-Alongs. The plan is to crochet flowers and leaves that are featured in Crochet Bouquet, but if you prefer a different pattern or if you design your own, you are absolutely welcome to join in.

To participate, you can simply crochet the flower of the month, or you can join one of the two Crochet Bouquet Along groups. The nice thing about the groups is that you can see other crocheters’ work and join into the group conversations. If you have questions or comments, please post on the Curious and Crafty Readers blog or at our Crochet Bouquet Along groups.

You can click here to join the Crochet Bouquet Along group on Yahoo, OR follow the directions below to join the Crochet Bouquet Along group on Ravelry:

Join Ravelry by going to http://www.ravelry.com. You have to request an invitation, which should arrive within a week.
Once you’re on Ravelry, open the “Groups” tab. Search for “Crochet Bouquet Alongs.” [Update: the group is now Knit and Crochet with Suzann], Join the group.
Start crocheting flowers, asking questions, and making comments! Post photos of your finished flowers and projects, so we can admire them!

Please join in at any time. We are going to do a different flower each month for about a year, starting in July 2008. After that–we’ll see.

I’m hoping to choose flowers that have some significance for the month or season. We’ll concentrate on about one flower each month. Do you have a suggestion for a flower of the month? Please post your suggestion!

You decide how you want to participate. Crochet the flower of the month or any other flower you want. The main idea is to crochet flowers.

Please feel free to save our Crochet Along buttons to your own server, and link back to this page, which is http://www.textilefusion.com/crochet-bouquet-crochet-alongs/
