Good morning everyone and welcome to week 4 in our Crochet Along!
*** PLEASE NOTE THE STITCH SCHEDULE CHANGES BELOW***
As always I would first like to welcome those that may be new in joining us. Please introduce yourself and say hello! We are now starting our fourth week of this crochet along. Do not worry though, you have plenty of time to catch up or just work along at your own pace! This is not a race by any means, just a way for us to work a project together and have some fun so do not get discouraged :) To help get you up to speed, the links to our past threads are listed below. Please read through them so you are up to date and have all the information you’ll need. The pattern for this project can be found in the second link listed below (WEEK 1) for download. As you complete a new piece of the pattern, please feel free to share your progress with us in the latest Monday check-in thread. We would all love to see your work come to life! Again, welcome aboard!

Crochet along - Project 1: WEEK 3
I don't know about you guys but pulling those eyelids over top the eyes was quite a challenge for me! I got them done but woo you sure need some elbow grease LOL! ;P
So now the fun begins! Our little butterflies are about to start really coming to life now as we begin stitching up our wings this week! I cannot wait to see everyone else's progress this week too! If you haven't yet seen the others, go visit last weeks check-in thread referenced above! There are so many lovely colors and color mixes, everyone is doing a great job! :D
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
