Crochet Along Block 3

We are beginning Block 3 of the Sampler Throw Crochet Along.  On this block you will learn to use the Shell Stitch and Fpdc (front post double crochet).  A  How-To video on YouTube is available for those needing to see how these stitches are worked.  Tell us about your progress; show us pics of your squares as you go.  There are five different stitch blocks for this project.  You can us any Red Heart yarn and colors of your choice.  I have selected 10 different colors of Eco-Ways yarns for my throw.

Oh, I just found this and can't wait to get started. I'm running into town now to see if I can find the yarn. This looks so fun. Seems like a lot of people are already done though. I hope I'm not too late.

I didn't see this CAL before and I would have loved to join in but it seems that I am too late. After reading the comments on the blog it seems that most have finished or are close to finishing. I really like the pattern so I may still make it but it would have been fun to do it along with everyone here!

Happy Crocheting!

Somewhat confusing

Submitted by CamoCubs on Sat, 2011-03-05 11:56.

Would like to submit a comment for consideration. With this crochet along, you all have information in two different places. This has been a bit confusing. Then the how to videos are in a third place. This makes keeping up with what is going on just a bit frustrating.

I did not realize until today that all the how to's had been posted. Therefore, I have mine almost all put together. I watched the video on assembling and liked the way it was put together there better. I do not, however, want to take mine apart and do over.

Is there a way you can put it all in one place, and let us know when new how to videos are released?

Thanks

Wow!!! Do I feel out of the loop. I just joined in the RedHeart group. My throw will really be behind, as I am just going after my yarn in the morning. Love the looks of it. I agree....ripple are too mush of the same.

I don't do facebook anymore, so I am starting this late. My newsletter from Hooked on Crochet featured this Cal. I did one with Bernat, but I really love the look of this one and the materials are much better. Very excited to join in this one. Thanks Red Heart.

Block 3 / Crochet Along

Submitted by loverson on Wed, 2011-03-02 10:49.

I have to admit, block 3 has been my largest challenge with this afghan thus far. I have all the other blocks done and have gone back to number 3. After many tries with different size hooks I have ended up with a G hook and pulling up real hard on the FPdc's. I laid the blocks out just to see how my #3 would look and find that if I turn the block sideways, it fits well with the others.

Only have to make two more #3 blocks and I can start putting them all together. This has been so much fun!
