Hanging with my Gnomies ~ By guest blogger Kelly Lightbeam

Another year, another knit-a-long.  I'm looking forward to knitting with this lovely group of people, The Girls in Sheep Clothing (And a few Boys, too) Crew!  It's exciting to see everyone popping in and showing off their yarn and deciding on their pattern.  I think we've got a little bit of everything!

I'm planning to knit Ashby in Rowan Felted Tweed DK.  I had debated knitting it in a worsted weight, but I keep coming back to this particular yarn in the Ginger colorway, which was a gift from Melissa, our own TwoKnitWit.  I've been gushing about this color for awhile, and I think it will be perfect to break up the winter doldrums.  I am wondering if an extra repeat of the river pattern may be necessary with a lighter weight yarn, but that will have to wait until I actually get into the project ;)

Happy New Year, everyone!  I'm about to cast on ~
