So I may have become a KAL addict. In my attempt to focus more on using my stash and less on buying yarn I have signed myself up to 3 KALs(this one is included). I can't seem to help myself.
The good news is that I am turning a corner both figuratively and literally on the Ashby on I did the short row turn and am on to Chart D. I don't know if my gauge is off or if this is going to grow a bit but it seems a bit small to me. It will be fun to watch and see what happens. I'm headed on a yarn-cation next week to see the "Interpretations 2" trunk show next weekend in Portland and take a couple classes with Joji; I'm hoping I can make some good traction on my Ashby.
kal's are great motivators, Steph, especially when you've gathered a fun group to knit with!
ReplyDeleteyour Portland trip sounds GREAT! can't wait to hear how you liked Joji (are you taking the train down?)
Mel,
ReplyDeleteI am so psyched to go. I am driving down with a friend on Friday, and plan to take her Sweater Design and her Sweater Fit class at HappyKnits. Let me know if you or Kelly need any yarn form PDX, I am excited to go to Portland for as a tourist and explore it and its yarn shops.
I loved yarn shopping in Portland! KnitPurl was my fav, but we also went to Twisted and Dublin Bay. We also spent a day at that book shop, you know the one ;)
ReplyDeleteI am really excited about it. I have heard the book store is pretty amazing.
DeleteI can't wait to see your finished Ashby. Have fun on your trip, it sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to finish it too. I love the product, but I think I am going to need a break from charted cables. HA! If it is anything like KALs I will probably cast on for something with cables soon
ReplyDeleteyarn-cation! HA
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful, I'd pay to see Joli ~
Enjoy, I know you will
