The Fiberflux Summer Crochet Along Are you ready for a summer full of crochet fun? Welcome to the 2021 Fiberflux Summer Crochet Along! I'm Jennifer, your host from Fiberflux, and I couldn't be more excited to bring you this special event. Over the past few months, I've been working behind the scenes to create a fantastic collection called the Spa Getaway Collection. Throughout this crochet along, we will be working on various projects that are perfect for a summer spa experience.

The Spa Getaway Collection Imagine treating yourself to a summer spa retreat without leaving the comfort of your home. With the Spa Getaway Collection, you can create a range of luxurious spa items that will make you feel pampered and relaxed. We have a delightful assortment of projects, including spa cloths, a back scrubby, a soap saver, a poof, face scrubby rounds, a headband, and a storage basket. These items are not only practical but also incredibly stylish, making them perfect for gifting or personal use.

The Projects Let's dive into the details of each project in the Spa Getaway Collection:

1. Spa Cloths: These washcloths are essential for any spa experience. They are perfect for cleansing and exfoliating your skin to leave it feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

2. Back Scrubby: Say goodbye to hard-to-reach spots with this handy back scrubby. It's designed to make exfoliating your back a breeze, ensuring every inch of your skin gets the attention it deserves.

3. Soap Saver: Don't let those precious soap bars go to waste. The soap saver in our collection allows you to save leftover soap scraps or even a whole bar of soap. Simply tuck it in, pull the drawstring, and enjoy a lathered-up spa experience.

4. Poof: Indulge in some luxurious lathering with our mini poof. This adorable accessory is not only functional but also adds a touch of whimsy to your bath or shower routine.

5. Face Scrubby Rounds: These soft and gentle rounds are perfect for both scrubbing and applying makeup. They are versatile and can be used in various ways to enhance your skincare routine.

6. Headband: Keep your hair off your face while applying face masks or other skincare products with our stylish headband. It's the perfect accessory for any spa day.

7. Storage Basket: To keep all your spa goodies organized, we've included a beautiful storage basket. It's not only practical but also makes an excellent gift for someone special.

The Supplies Before we start working on these fabulous projects, let's talk about the supplies you'll need. Here's a list of what you'll require:

1. Tapestry Needle: This needle is necessary for weaving in ends and sewing any small parts together.

2. Scissors: A pair of scissors is essential for cutting yarn and trimming any excess.

3. Tape Measure or Ruler: It's helpful to have a measuring tool to ensure your projects are the right size, especially for the baskets.

4. Crochet Hook: We will be using a 5mm (H) crochet hook for all the projects. I recommend the Furls Odyssey hook for a comfortable and enjoyable crocheting experience.

5. Yarn: The yarn used in the Spa Getaway Collection is Lion Brand's 24/7 Cotton. This yarn is perfect for its softness and durability. However, you can use any cotton yarn that is suitable for dishcloths or similar projects.

Choosing the Right Yarn If you prefer to make substitutions or use what you have on hand, that's totally fine! Just make sure you choose a four medium weight cotton yarn that recommends a G hook. If you need some options, I've provided a list of alternative cotton yarns on the Fiberflux blog. Remember, it's always exciting to experiment with different colors and textures to personalize your projects.

The Color Palette For the Spa Getaway Collection, I've carefully selected a soothing color palette that complements the spa theme. We have the elegant Ecru, the calming Lilac, and the refreshing Aqua. However, feel free to choose your favorite colors or explore other shades that resonate with you. The goal is to create a collection that brings you joy and relaxation.

Joining the Fiberflux Community I invite you to join our vibrant and supportive Fiberflux community. We have two groups where you can connect with fellow crochet-along participants, share your progress, and seek inspiration or guidance.

1. Ravelry Group: Our Ravelry group is a dedicated space for crochet-along makers. It's the perfect platform to showcase your work, ask questions, and engage with other crafters who share the same passion for crochet.

2. Facebook Group: For those who prefer Facebook, we also have a crochet-along group there. It's another fantastic place to connect, exchange ideas, and marvel at the creativity of fellow members.
