Halloween MCAL 2018
Get the clues HERE on Ravelry as they are released.
It was a very dark evening, two nights before Halloween. We were coming home from our crochet group, why was our crochet group this late at night? We all knew it was a bad idea. We walked on the quiet, dark, lonely street to our homes. In the distance we could see a little creature. He ran across the street, and disappeared out of sight. A couple of minutes later, we heard the little creature. It was such an odd noise—what kind of animal was this? None of us could make out what kind of creature this was. It was a spooky walk home. We were almost to the door—until we noticed a little shadow on our doorstep, the shadow of the little creature. We asked each other, all trying to figure out what kind of little creature this was. Should we get closer? Should we find out who this little creature was?
The finished size of your little creature will be about 12 inches. Your size will vary depending on the yarn you choose, the crochet hook you choose, and your tension while crocheting. I used worsted weight yarn and a size D hook to get my little creature to 12 inches.
Clues will be posted around 4pm Pacific time on the dates listed.
