We’re right in the middle of the slug-a-long, so you can guess what I’m crocheting… a slug!
Actually, I’m making two. I’m making a yellow one, like the slug pictured in the pattern and I’m also making a giant slug:
How to count the stitches in the first round
For those of you who are crocheting-a-long (or slugging-a-long?) with me, I’ve made a video to show you how to count the stitches in your first round.
In my opinion, counting the stitches in the first round is the trickiest, because there’s a weird little extra bit hanging around from your initial chain two. If you accidentally crochet into that weird bit, you’re count for the second round will be off, too!
So, have a peek at the video!

Are you working on a fun slug?
I can’t tell you how excited I am about my giant slug… it’s going to be so big!
That’s what I’ve been up to this week… how about you? I hope you have an awesome Wednesday, and get some great knitting/crocheting done this week!

So cool! I like the picture of your giant slug 😉
I love that you’re doing a giant slug! The little ones are cute too, but the giant one is going to be great.
What size eyes will you be using on your giant slug?

@Rae- I’m going to crochet the eyes with black yarn… I don’t know if they make them big enough!
