Owlivia & Little Livvie: Show & Tell Your FO's!

Join assistant editor Sharon Zientara for our very first amigurumi crochet-along. Owlivia and Little Livvie were published in the Summer 2011 issue of Interweave Crochet. This is a great beginner project or a way to get your feet wet with our crochet-alongs.

Make Owlivia in Red Heart Soft Yarn, or challenge your skills (as well as your eyesight!) with tiny and sweet Little Livvie, the thread version, worked in Aunt Lydia's Classic Crochet Thread size 10. Either way, this is an adorable project to keep or give as a gift to anyone who could use a little crocheted happiness.

This is an ongoing Crochet-Along. We'll do a square a week, starting June 20. Check out the forum to see the schedule. See you there!

Gather up your crochet group and make a Chain Reaction Afghan together! Of course, you can make one on your own, but how much faster and more fun if you work on one together! This project is a great tool for learning new stitches and color combinations. Use the colors we selected, make your own color choices or make a colorful stash-buster afghan. See the forum for details on where to locate the patterns. For each afghan made and donated, Interweave will donate $5 to Warm Up America.
