We just returned from Colorado. The trip ate a hole in my charity project time, but I'm well under way again. I need to find some yarn first. I was successful buying on ebay recently. Perhaps I'll check there first.
Happy Knitting! I bet Melissa is half finished with her Rachel KAL. Fess up girl.
UPDATE: As you can see... I selected my yarn. I bought it recently at Maker's Mercantile in Kent. I knitted the last KAL with Schoppel and like how it turned out. It will be interesting. I wanted to do something in 8 - 10 ply, but what the heck. Fingers crossed. Will probably CO tonight. :)
edited by Mel (hope you don't mind Penny!) : since I just posted about the kal last night and the post is buried now I'm adding the link to the pattern we're doing : Rachel's Shawl can be found here ~ the link works even if you're not a Ravelry member but you do have to use paypal for purchase. Additional knitalong info can be found here!!
I'm glad you're going to make another, Penny! good luck in the yarn search!
ReplyDeleteI have 16 rows done...that is all :) ~ been making wings and getting dinner stuff prepped and watching football (how 'bout those Hawks...GO HAWKS!!!)
16 rows? Not bad, considering you probably finished three other projects in a 24-hour period, Miss Speedy Fingers.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah... how about those Hawks. :)
I do other things besides knit, stinker! I've been cooking all day and yesterday I planned and shopped so I could cook all day :)
DeleteGO HAWKS!!!!
GO MARINERS!!!!
ReplyDeletewho???? :)
DeletePoo... the M's lost. I should have watched football.
ReplyDeleteit will be gorgeous, Penny ~ I can't wait to visit that shop (I checked out the link you sent me ~ what a lovely place!)
ReplyDeleteBe sure to try one of their gluten-free goodies. They're surprisingly delicious. I think I mentioned the owner tries not to compete with local knit shops as far as yarn and maybe even knitting accessorize go. She buys "many" brands I'm not familiar with. You probably would be. She is in it for the joy. It's a hobby, according to what Carolyn told me.
ReplyDeleteWhat impressed me were the rooms attached to the main section of the store -- with couches, tables, etc. It's pretty artsy/funky. In the center are unusual fabrics and other craft products. A very fun place to visit.
I'm so excited to be joining this KAL, thank you for the invitation Melissa!
ReplyDeleteI feeling inspired from viewing all the beautiful yarns here.
Time to go shopping, I'm thinking green...
