Week 3 Challenge - The Wild Hunt for International Crochet Month with @Shibaguyz

As part of the Shibaguyz FAB CAL for International Crochet Month, I have been participating in a challenge each week. You saw last week's post about making March International Crochet Month, well week 3 is a hunt. Each day they will post a clue for that day's task.  As I complete each task, I will update this post each day so you can see what is going on. [Check out their link. They have amazing patterns.]


Enjoy!


For today's task, I needed to crochet a small bit. Of course my biggest challenge is the lack of stash (what we crafty people call all the yarn laying around waiting to be used). I have moved so often of late, that I do not have much. I was lucky enough to have this one skein of Charcoal Lion's Brand Cotton Ease around which should work. I guess I need to buy some yarn. :)

Task #1

Task #2 (The circle grows)

For Task #3 we were taken to the Shibaguyz website and got to "meet" Stephen “Suede” Baum, designer/contestant from Season 5 of Project Runway as well as get our clue. Here is the progress:

Task #3

Looking back at the comments, I realized that I misread the 1st step in Task #3 so I went back and fixed that and then added Task #4. The circle grows:

Since we all want spring to come... it is definitely here in Mexico City as different flowering trees and such start to bloom. I have now finished the WILD HUNT and came up with a very pretty flower. 

Which I decided the hang by the window to enhance the view. I think I will make a bunch more to hang around the apartment.

I have really enjoyed this event not knowing till the end what we would have. Thanks Shibaguyz!!

I declare March International Crochet Month

I have been busy this week (well yes at work) but also... crocheting in Mexico City. I am working hard on my Shibaguyz CAL and making some progress on the back.

A few rows done

I have done a few more rows since the photo, but no new pictures yet. Hope to finish it and start the front this weekend. Work has been busy, but I take a bit of time when I get home to relax and crochet. Of course, I also need to get back to my running as well. I am enjoying the project and the yarn.

In case you wondered what inspired my sudden writing of crochet, March is National Crochet Month in the US and from some of my crafty pals like Knit Purl Gurl I found out about the CAL. I of course did not let the boarder stop me from crocheting with my new friends. Then my hosts the wonderful Shibaguyz had an even better idea... let's make March International Crochet Month and of course since I have lived outside the US for over 5 years now, I am all for it.

So let's hear it: March will now be International Crochet Month!!
