07-19-2014 - edited to add: I just saw that Bonnie has started a newsletter...
if you haven't purchased your Streusel pattern yet, there's a coupon code in the newsletter that gets you 50% off one of her patterns before the end of the month, just for subscribing! I just signed up and now I'm off to use my coupon code to snag another of her lovely designs for future use :)
Are you on the fence about joining us for our next knitalong? If you missed the info here's the link!
If you are, I thought it might be a good time to share this summer shawl I just finished. It's Stria by Bonnie Sennott...our lucky designer pick for our Girls in Sheep Clothing blog anniversary.
Stria was a breeze to knit and I'm so happy to be knitting another one of her designs so soon after finishing this one. Her patterns are well written and so much fun. And I'm pretty sure she'll be keeping an eye on us since she knows we're hosting this kal and seemed tickled when she found out about it. I think a few of our newest kal'ers may have come from her posting about our knitalong on her facebook and twitter accounts as well as her group on Ravelry. Let's do her proud :)
So far we are seven ~ Kelli and myself of course, Penny (knitwitless) and Andrea (aksaxton). Mimi (benzngems) will be knitting with us (your invitation has been sent...check your email!) but she wasn't sure if she would actually blog with us or not. I hope she does...I've already seen her yarn choice & it's perfect so I'm encouraging her to share :). We also have Susan and Cynthia joining us for the first time ~ don't forget, you two...if you want to blog with us I will send you an invitation as soon as you message me on Ravelry with your email addresses!
There's still lots of time to jump on board ~ we don't cast on until July 31st ~ so if you're interested please know you are welcome and we'd love to have you join us!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Melissa
Beautiful scarf! and such a lovely invite~ sounds like a good group, but always room for more. Elaine, Lisa, and Sherry were interested from the Thursday group. Should be fun.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE it if Thursday group would knit with us as well...I haven't seen any of them for so long!! If they want to blog (they don't have to) let me know their emails and I'll send them invites as well.
DeleteI do love Bonnie's patterns as you know Melissa. I am still on the fence about joining up, trying to see if I can get my paper work [bad word] complete, but I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteyou know you are always welcome, Tracey ~ and there's always another kal just around the corner if the timing of this one isn't right :)
DeleteI've been thinking about joining you ever since I saw your first post, Melissa. Now that I'm back home from vacation and have looked through my stash for a suitable yarn—I found one—I'm making the commitment to jump in. I might even blog, too. I'm currently knitting Bonnie's Couplet sock pattern and really enjoying it, so I'm looking forward to doing another of her patterns.
ReplyDeleteso glad you're joining us, Julie! your invitation has been sent :)
