KAL Day…

4/21/2005

Okay, I already posted easrlier that the A Gathering of Lace KAL is official. So far there are only three of us so there is plenty of room for you too!

I cast on for my Shaped Triangle on Tuesday, but yesterday had me away from home at DH’s work most of the day and not feeling real well aftwards and today has been crazy, so I’m only at row 16. But, it is a start and I can say that I am liking my Helen’s Lace and I think it will look quite lovely. So far there doesn’t appear to be much in the way of pooling, flashing or striping (crosses fingers that the trend continues). I’ll have a pic when there is more worth photographing.

I suppose now that I’m knitting a real shawl it’ll be time for me to finally purchase some blocking wires, huh? Man, this has been quite the week for becoming an adult knitter! LOL!

On the Spearfish KAL front, we have another pair of completed Spearfish in handpainted Opal, this time in a turquiose colorway. Check them out, and congratulate Azhar on her beautiful socks!

Remember, the contest portion has been won, so the pressure is off and it is now an ordinary KAL. So, if you have the Spearfish pattern join us at http://designedlykristi.typepad.com/spearfishmadness



It’s Official!

The site for the Gathering of Lace-a-Long is set up and open! It might get tweaked a bit, but it is there! - http://designedlykristi.typepad.com/gatheringlacealong/

Sign up and grab the button (or make one specific to the project you are going to make)!

A Gathering of Lace-a-Long Button

A few days ago when first contemplaing the Shaped Triangle I ran across a site that had photos of at least the majority of the projects on their site, but I can’t find it again. If you come across it, please let me know so I can add a link to it to the KAL blog for people who perhaps don’t own the book yet.

I’ll be back with more soon, but I’ve got to do some cooking for tonight’s supper…
