My post the other day about using my Helen’s Lace yarn from Lorna’s Laces for the Shaped Triangle Shawl (p 20) prodded Snow to also do the same with her solid colored Helen’s Lace yarn. It seems there is a fair bit of interest to knit items from this realtively new to paperback format book so I think Snow and I will be hosting a KAL.
I’ll be working on setting up the KAL blog today and hope to have it ready tomorrow. If you wish to join us in the KAL, just leave a comment here (being sure to include your e-mail addy) and I’ll get you invited to the blog as soon as I have it set up.
My lovely secret pal struck again! I stopped off at the PO on Monday evening before heading to SnB and had a package containing the lovely items pictures above, plus a card. Though I was warned via e-mail to not open the card until the official “reveal” day as she had given her identity away inside.
She sent two skeins of the KnitPicks Sock Landscape in Spring Prairie, the Spin-Off Socks book, a nice tin of Darjeeling loose leaf tea and the awesomest little stitch markers with polymer clay sushi on the ends from Amyville!
I’m still astonished about the sushi stitch markers. Amanda had sent me the link a while back and she preferred the sweets, but I liked the sushi. I’ve been all about sushi lately as it is yummy, it fits within my new dietary restrictions pretty easily and it is a way for me to get some fish in me without making my DH ill (he’s allergic to fish and gets ill just from the smell).
Thank you so much Secret Pal!!!!!
