Dropping everything for this KAL! ~ By guest blogger Kelly Lightbeam

Yes, you heard me!  I'm dropping everything for this Knit A Long, as far as knitting goes, at least.  I have three Brooklyn Tweed projects going on: Ashby, Sempervivum and Sandness.  It took a little while to get each of them to a good stopping point, but now that I've started Rachel's Shawl, I'm going to stick with just this one for a bit.

I chose a light pink shade of Misti Alpaca, for my little next-door-neighbor lady.  She's always so good to us, and I like to give her hand-knits for Christmas.   She's always very gracious, but I know that she really likes the color pink the best!

I meant to cast on Monday, but I got a little busy with a few projects, like my daughter's first day of preschool (!) and we finally got around to putting tile up on our fireplace.  Actually, we can't take credit, because we paid someone to do the job, but it still feels like a huge accomplishment.

I can't wait to see everyone's finished projects!
