Crochet Along.... One Skein Scarf for beginners

[claaayaaa]

Hello All,
I thought it would be fun to maybe start a new tradition... Once a month do a crochet-along. I will host the first one starting today and then other people can do it and pick out the pattern and post info. I don't know about you guys, but I love this idea because I am a WIP girl, so this will light a fire under me to get this finished. This is a one skein scarf and the pattern is for beginners. You can choose to keep it for yourself or donate it to a good cause. I thought if we did this once a month it would give everyone a chance to participate and have a month before the next project. Here's the pattern...

Ok, I will join in. Sounds like fun. I've never crocheted a scarf in 40 years so this will be a first for me!!! Thanks!!

I'm new here, or practically new. I joined awhile back but haven't been able to get on here much. What do I have to do to crochet along with you, I've never done anything like this before.
Do I just sit here in front on my computer or crochet some where else? Reneebelle

This is such a good idea! I can't join in as I'm busy making Christmas presents and stuff for 5 upcoming Craft Fairs! Maybe next month!!
