May KAL - guest bloggers Carolyn and Penny

Hi everyone...

I dated this entry so it will fit below the Tulip Festival and Deception Pass posts.

My BFF... Carolyn, and I bought our yarn today. I have the feeling she made the better choice with her Filisilk (70% Merino, 30% Silk). She will never agree to post EVER, so I am adding her project to mine.



I went to "Serial Knitters" today and bought a different yarn from what I first posted. I felt like I might not like a variegated shawl. This is Zauberball (75% wool & 25% Nylon). The woman in the shop said this was a bit sticky, but I've knitted on it before. I wanted something that would look good with denim. :)



Good luck everyone. We look forwarding to knitting with you. Hope we finish ours before June "2014".

In it's infancy.

    hope your healing hand can take it ~ don't over do it!! it's not a race so take as much time as you need

    both yarns are vibrant and colorful ~ your shawls will be amazing!

    I knit a trianglar shawl with Zauberball once, Penny ~ it is sticky, she's right, but it blocks nicely

    you still have 2 more days to change your mind again :)

    I just finished making my yarn tonight! It's a bit sticky, too. Actually, when trying to sort out the plies, I found myself trying to shame them into submission by shouting, "You're not friggin' mohair, so stop acting like it!"

    your first bit looks really nice, Penny!

    it's ok to do a new post instead of adding photos to an old...I'm not sure people will scroll back to look for updates on previously read stuff & we don't want them to miss your progress...especially since this is your FIRST BIG LACE PROJECT (so proud!)

    Thanks, Melissa. Once I am further along then I'll share it in a new post.
