It's amazing what a catalyst other knitters are to one's progress. This was an amazing project. The most daunting part of the project was the !735! picot cast-on stitches. From there it was a rewarding, diminishing knit. I love the finished project. Size-wise it's perfect. Construction - brilliant! I loved this! Thank you oneknitwit, and twoknitwit AKA Kelli and Melissa. You are rockstars. I love knitting along. (Thank you, Kelli, for your photography skills)<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I couldn't be more happy! It's just like I imagined! The shawl does have hints of blue<br />
that the picture doesn't capture. The pattern and yarn are amazing! The 735 picot cast ons didn't kill<br />
me like I thought they would. I did have anxiety, which fueled me forward. Stunning to look at<br />
magical to wear. <br />
I'm onto test knitting around 1500 yards in lace for BrooklynTweed, he has a new lace yarn in<br />
the works! For those of you who live in the Washington State, Jared Flood will be<br />
at Madrona in Tacoma selling his yarns Feb,16-18th!!!<br />
<br />
I'm excited watching for posts, in wherever place you are!</td></tr>

Hello! I am so happy to be joining in this knit along, thanks so much for inviting me. I started my shawl within 48 hours of the start date. I foolishly posted on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pumpkinsunrise/" target="_blank">instagram</a> that I didn't make any mistakes on the picot cast on edge. That is true. However, after that post, I dropped a stitch in a yarn over section and was unable (sigh....) to fix my error.<br />
<br />
So I ripped everything out and started all over again. Hence the silence. You cannot be so bold as to announce "look at me no mistakes!!". That taunting brings on the knitting Gods funny sense of humor.<br />

So I humbly present my progress thus far. I have finished both charted sections and just started the body of the shawl. I only knit when I am not paying attention to talking or a really good TV show.<br />
<br />
(the dropped stitch was from a Dr. Who episode with Amy Pond).<br />

The <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/schoppel-wolle-6-karat" target="_blank">yarn</a> I am using is delightful. I snapped it up at a shop in the clearance bin and adore how silvery gray it is. I also love when wool is mixed with a bit of silk, such a delight to knit.<br />

Lace! Togetherness! New Year! KALing! & lots of Picots! ~ KelliWelcome all who are here! Happy 2017!<br />
<br />
<br />
My aren't we the "go getters". I've taken many deep breathes while under the Anisos spell. I'm very grateful for those purl 'check points' is what I call them, that follow throughout the two sided lace piece. <br />
<br />
Hope you all are enjoying, like I am this lacey long beauty. I must say bottom up is not my 'cup of tea', but since I really love this shawl, that's the path~ Melissa and I didn't have to look much, when we saw this on the screen,we were,<br />
yeah, what do you think?<br />
I was, yeah definitely! <br />
<br />
The yarns chosen are beautiful by you all! I'd like one in every color but will resist due to the cast ons. Which I think makes it even more special cause I'm sure when knitters see this pattern they keep searching (btw, we didn't know before we fell in love that Anisos was set up this way) ... no not us! we both couldn't take our eyes/minds off it.<br />
<br />
I'm having technical difficulties with pictures, I'll work on that.<br />
<br />
Thanks all who are knitting along, for me I just so enjoy that you're there!<br />
<br />
Happy knitting ~<br />

I screen grabbed everyone's latest progress photo from Instagram. I'm going to try and do this periodically, especially if you guys are going to be so good about posting pictures! I love to see where everyone is at and hear how excited you all are to be knitting together. Andrea is bottom center - I don't see that she has an IG account so I'll always add her from her blog posts. The only person missing is Morgen... she has yet to post anywhere (I even checked Ravelry) so I used a placeholder center square until she pops up somewhere to say hello!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, I have 100 picots done and 267 left, so now that a little business is done, I'm off to knit my last day of vacation away until I'm hopefully done casting on!</div>

Happy (almost) New Year! I'm excited to be, once again, joining the New Year KAL. I'm really looking forward to beginning. The pattern is stunning and I've chosen a yarn that I have not previously knit with. I love the color and can't wait to start casting on those 735 picots (I'm knitting the largest size). See you in 2017!!</div>

My yarn choice for the Anisos wasn't hard<br />
to make. I have been saving two skeins of<br />
The Fibre Company's Meadow in Gentian Violet<br />
because I love this yarn and can't think of a better<br />
person to use it for than my Mama.<br />
<br />
I am going to knit the second largest size as I have<br />
1090 yards and I want to use every last gram that<br />
I can.<br />
<br />
2016 was the year of socks for Christmas gifts<br />
and I have decided 2017 will be the year of<br />

It's here! Time to gather supplies and count the minutes...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kelli and I were together when we chose our pick for this year's knitalong. It was an instant 'this is the one!' from both of us when we saw Lily Go's design from Wool People 9.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is Anisos:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the <i>perfect</i> choice for a kal - there are five (5!!) different size options, from a small shawlette to a lovely piece large enough to wrap yourself up in. It has an unusual shape as well, so it's going to be a learning experience for Kelli and I. There's always something new to learn so that was definitely a selling point for me when deciding on this design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pattern is available on Ravelry and also directly from Brooklyn Tweed's website:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As far as the business end of the kal:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We cast on New Years Day (not a minute before) but other than that, there are no rules. There is no deadline, we go at our own pace (this is supposed to be fun!), you may blog with us (details below) or just follow along in the comments section. We encourage you to tackle new things and are here to help each other along the way if needed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think that's everything. If you would like to join us January 1st, send me a message on Ravelry (twoknitwit) with your email address and I'll add you to the blog as an author. You'll have blogging privileges and will be able to post and share pictures as we go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For newbies that want to blog with us, here is a link to a page that Kelly Lightbeam created for us with exactly what will happen when you send me your email address:</div>

I hope we have a good turnout this year. The blog has been fairly quiet for the last year but it's starting to come to life again and I'm excited to reconnect with some of our annual knitting friends...and maybe a few new ones!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, just to get this party started - here is my yarn choice for my Anisos. I'll be making the largest size because, yo that's how I roll ... heheheh : )</div>

I have procrastinated long enough in presenting my Stonecrop, the 2016 KAL project. It was so much fun to knit and I'd like to share to results with you. I named my shawl <b><i><u>A </u></i></b><u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Pearl without Purls.</u> It amazes me that you could create something so beautiful with nothing more than knit stitches and yarnovers. It makes it completely reversible too. </span></span><br />

Jeff and I recently traveled to visit friends near the German border in Switzerland. Of course, I decided I would take along a couple KAL items for the long hours at the airports and in the plane. I'm happy to say that I completed my Ludlow somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean - with the caveat that I only worked it for two thirds of the length. </div>

Having a couple biggish wrappy things, I wanted something I could wear more as a scarf with my recently completed Timberline sweater (also a BrooklynTweed design -- and probably my favorite). The full length just wouldn't work well with the generous collar on the sweater. Omitting the third pattern repeat gave me a length I liked and could work with.<br />

I figured out a way to fold it in half lengthwise, wrap it once for delicious height to block out the chill, then open each end inside my sweater so that it added a layer of insulation in front and back. It's a bit tricky to get the back to lay flat, but it served me well in the cold spell they were experiencing.</div>

I had knit the Timberline sweater once previously and had a little gauge problem that turned out to make an excellent gift. I don't regret that error one bit, as I absolutely love seeing such a gorgeous sweater on this handsome guy - he wears it so well! But now I have my own - it just took bumping the needle size down. I actually really enjoyed returning to this pattern.<br />

Wearing my Ludlow felt appropriate; I noticed a lot of Swiss people wearing voluminous scarves, such as the one my stylish friend is sporting in this picture. She loaned us her darling baby through the week, and he kept us grounded through a challenging election week. (Yes, we were biting our nails and watching things from afar.) There's nothing like a baby to give one a bit of perspective.<br />

We went on a perfect day for wool lovers because it was the annual wool pool. Farmers brought in their newly shorn wool, laid it out in long piles, and drove over it with a baler to pack it up for industrial use.</div>

It was pretty much just farmers there; I think they were wondering who the heck this weirdo was that was gawking at the wool...<br />

Jeff and I got not a few curious looks when we knit in the train or cafes. Sadly, handknitting in Switzerland seems to have been largely replaced by the machine industry, and male knitters are not particularly prominent in the area we visited. I did find this advertisement in Germany, however - trying to butch up knitting with the hipster lumberjack image.<br />

More of the wool advertisements were for finished wool products, but at perhaps the most wonderful fall festival in the world (?), there were still a few fiber artists, including felt artists, <a href="http://www.spycher-handwerk.ch/" target="_blank">Spycher handwerk</a> (from whom we bought lovely felted slippers), and a couple silk dyers. Interestingly, the one corner of the handknitting market that seems to be profitable for hand dyers is in the realm of silk. The overall aesthetic in Switzerland seems to be for very soft yarns, not necessarily the rustic yarns I hoped I would find.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">In a country where knitting tastes resulted in shops filled with fashion yarns and soft but lackluster, mechanized merino yarns, here was a treasure trove of color, filled with beautiful handdyes and special yarn blends that I have come to love in the US. We are truly spoiled here! </span><br />

The thing to notice here is that you don't just have a few colors in any particular line of a beautiful yarn. Color is very special to Ain, and it shows.

<span style="text-align: center;">Ain always invited us into the back room to share coffee and something sweet to nibble while we chatted and knitted. Yes. Because we visited three times in one week. And you should, too, if you possibly can. A conversation with her gives new meaning to the phrase "knitting therapy." I think I found a kindred spirit. </span><br />

Alright, kids. Trying hard to get back with social media and blogging. You can find me on instagram now - thought it might be a good way to at least do quick posts when I can't find the time to blog.</div>

After spending a good chunk of last week with Kelli and some long lost knitting friends, my creative juices are flowing. Lots of fun stuff coming up as soon as I finish an enormous wedding gift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sooooo close!</div>

The Chapters have been around since the early 1900's. I know one other member. It's fairly new to me, until my mother became a member last year. I was fortunate to attend they're yearly afternoon tea! Perfect strong Engligh Tea, mini sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and all kinds of cookies. <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1gv3JXXIw3U/V-hk4kGUilI/AAAAAAAAC7A/NcpmQAd1Igk/s640/blogger-image-1567766506.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1gv3JXXIw3U/V-hk4kGUilI/AAAAAAAAC7A/NcpmQAd1Igk/s640/blogger-image-1567766506.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>My mum and I!

Hello!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I'm soooo close to finishing <a href="http://ravel.me/twoknitwit/q2">this enormous undertaking</a> ... my first knitting project in over a year, really, that I will finish in a timely fashion. I start the lace border tonight and will try to get a few pictures this weekend as it starts coming off the needles. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
And while that is happening I'll be trying to decide what to knit next. </div>
<div align="center">
It will be blue. </div>
<div align="center">
I think... : )</div>

I've been knitting this whole time - guest blogger JennyHello!<br />
I cast on to the Stonecrop Knit-A-Long January 1st with everyone else and I am finally done! And yes, I've been knitting this whole time. I'm just so super slow. <br />
<br />
For me, it's a really a KALLLT (Knit-A-Long-Long-Long-Time).<br />
<br />
Anyway, from first stitch to last, our first grand baby was born, lost a dear friend to cancer, remodeled our house, had a significant career change - it's all knitted in here. <br />
<br />
Thanks all - enjoy the journey.<br />
Jenny A.<br />
