I'm happily knitting along on my Holla Knits KAL Nachtfalter, but I've needed to step away from the needles so as not to get too ahead of the rest of the group ...
... and I just jumped into the Self-Striping Sock KAL being hosted by the Just One More Row podcast gals. My sister, Esther, gifted me a skein of Patons Kroy Socks in a colorway that I've been anxious to try, and this is the perfect yarn for this KAL.
I don't usually have so many projects on my needles (did I mention that I'm test knitting a cardigan for a German designer?), but these KALs have been hard to resist. If you're knitting along on a pattern and/or with a group, please share. I'm sure I have some spare needles lying around.
I've started a sock yarn patchwork blanket: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/beaniest17/sock-yarn-patchwork-recipe
ReplyDeleteThere is a thread on Ravelry where people are doing swaps for different yarns. It's going to be a long project but it is really fun!
Sounds like you are keeping busy! I don't personally have time for KAL's right now or I'd jump on board. I can't wait to see those socks, that yarn is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteI am so curious about your Pour Moi project!
ReplyDeleteI just posted on my Dream Stripes shawl this week, and the fun thing is that a couple of ladies from our group jumped to make one too, after they saw mine...so ot is a KAL that keep on giving ;-)
lol I just cast on for a dress... I'm sure you have time to fit one of those in as well ;)
ReplyDeleteVery enticing, looks like you're having fun, which is just as it should be.
ReplyDelete(If this message looks all jumbled, it's because I'm typing with one hand and covering my eyes with the other. I will NOT succumb to KAL temptation. I WILL finish my way-too-long, totally out-of-control list of existing WIPs ...)
It seems like summer is always a time of many projects for you, so many challenges and so much accomplished! I still remember all that you did last year. Phew, I just can't keep up with you!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your FOs, they are always so lovely!!
ReplyDeleteYour needles must be on fire! I never feel able to commit to KALs, my life is too unpredictable. Maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteYou are the KAL queen! I love watching your projects unfold here. I have yet to cast on for Wendy's Knits Summer Shawl KAL. But I plan to this weekend. We'll see if I can last. I'm horribly flakey with KALs. happy knitting :)
ReplyDeleteYou are one busy knitter! I can't wait to see the test knit for Jane Richmond. I love her patterns.
ReplyDeleteI love knitalongs! They are so much fun, and really inspiring to see what other people are making :)
ReplyDeleteYay, your stripey yarn! We can have sock twinsies ;) It really is the prettiest knit up. And has a very nice hand to it... can't wait to see it amongst your WIPs.
ReplyDeleteIsn't stripey sock yarn the best?
That is a catchy red. I like how it's deep. Red is slowly becoming more appealing to me. My phone case is a nice chile pepper red.
