Scrumptious Yarn - The Crochet Club

Well, I've tell you before about the Crochet Club...

Yesterday I got my parcels...

I'm glad I was home because you needed to sign for those!!
I opened the small one.....

 And then the big one.......

OOOOHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I was so excited!!!! I've never received (or buyed) so many balls of yarn in a single shot before!!!!

34 nice, yummy, delicious, shiny balls of yarn!!!! and 4 bags of beads!!!

Here's what I received...

Rowan Cotton Glace :::
Garnet x 11
Nightshade x 7
Twilight x 4
Ivy x 3
Umber x 2
Bubbles x 2
Blood Orange x 1
Ochre x 1

AND Lenpur Linen :::
Lagoon x 2
Zest x 1

all in 50 g balls... they are so tiny!!!!
I'm a little afraid of it's thin-ness as I've been using worsted weight and thicker for the past 2 or 3 years due to my hand soreness... I will have to use a 2.5 and 3.0 mm hook! I really hope my hands will be able to do it!

Here they are all together!!!!!!!!!

And here, just one of each color, just the Rowan and the beads...

mmmmm Happyness....!

See you soon!

The Crochet Club

I haven't talk about this for a while....
I signed up for The Crochet Club around August... and it has been in hold until now.

The Crochet Club is held by Janie Crow, and it's a global thing... She received the sign ups during June and July, last year... then the payments... and now, starting 2011, she had sent yarn and beads parcels all over the world!!!! we will be doing a throw/blanket/wall hanging... I'm not sure, I think at the end I can use it for whatever I want... but the thing is that this is a mystery!!!
This is kind of inspired in the Mystery Blanket Knitting club held by Debbie Abrahams...

There are some really incredible and scrumptious pictures in her site, and I can't wait to start!!!

 Pictures borrowed from Janie's Crochet Club blog

Today I received the January patterns in my email!!! and Oh gosh!!! let me tell you.... they look Fan-Tas-Tic!!!!
I'm really, really excited!!! and now I just have to wait for my yarns and beads parcels to arrive!!! I hope they will sometime next week!!!
Of course I'll tell you all about it...

And now I have to go, but if you want to know more about this you can check Janie's website here!!
And I think you can register your interest to participate in 2012 Crochet Club... too early I think, but places fly and it will be full very quickly for sure!!

Have fun and a great weekend!!!

See you soon!

The Crochet Club

Ohhh! and now I'm thinking in some other things that I can tell you about!!!
Why this didn't happened a week ago so I wouldn't be away for so long??

Anyway, what I want to tell you about is that I found a group on Raverly about The Crochet Club...

It is a project to work on starting on January 2011. The Club creator is Janet Crowfoot  will send parcels to the members of the club with all the yarns, beads patterns and instruccions to work with, for 6 consecutive months... it's an Art Deco inspired project, and it can be used as a throw or a hanging...
All the info is in the blog, but it sounds like a great idea to me!!!
So I sent an email to the lady that is putting this together to register myself... Hope to be part of the club!!

I am tooooo excited!!!

See you soon!
