While we’re extolling the virtues of Twitter here, let me tell you about one of the funnest craft-alongs I’ve seen in a while. It was born from some seemingly-random chat on Twitter last week.
June Gilbank is a wonderful designer of crochet patterns, and she recently released one for the above groundhog, just in time to get it made before February 2nd. (That’s Groundhog Day here in the US.)
June is also a fan of the Bill Murray film Groundhog Day – as am I, and as are several others on Twitter. And we were all trading lines from the film on Twitter one morning, and the Groundhog-along was born!
There’s a good-sized group forming now, and we’re all making a crochet groundhog before February 2nd. If you’d like to join us, you can get the pattern here, and join the Ravelry group and Flickr group. Oh – and there’s a hashtag, of course: #groundhogalong.
And may I say, BING!!
LOL- Wish I knew how to crochet. If there was a knit version I'd totally groundhog-along.
We have a few beginners in the group, if you were ever hankering to
learn the hook. :-)
oh, that BING guy was something else.
V. cute groundhog, and a great idea for an along!
BING!!
Yes, what Diane said! Crocheting dolls is super easy – it's all the same stitch, over and over and over again. And then there's all the BING!

Sad that the pattern isn't free!
Well, June makes excellent patterns, and they are her livelihood. I've
bought several, and always find them to be super well-explained and
huge value for what she charges.
Groundhog Day is one of the movies available to view Netflix on-demand (I <3 you netflix on-demand!). I tricked Andrew into watching it the other night. “Is it snowing in space?!” HA!
“What if there IS no tomorrow? There wasn't one today!”
