Summer Knitalong Madness




Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting




Over the past week I have been affected with what can only be described as a case of Summer Knitalong Madness. Symptoms include, but are not limited to:
**an uncontrollable desire to sign up for all the fun stuff going on
**a need to constantly challenge myself
**a desire for some structure and accountability
**a plan for "double duty"--killing a few birds with one stone, you know, the "one project works for multiple KALs thing"

So the above three newbie KALs have joined my sidebar to work in harmony with the Mountain Lace KAL, Stashalong, WIP Wipeout, and the long neglected GALalong.

Anyone else been bitten by the bug or is it just me?

Looks like it's shaping up to be a busy summer and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

I joined the Amazing Lace-along too, as well as the Green Gable KAL. I'm going to have to check out Margene's KAL too. So hard to not join!!

I should join the Amazing Lace one. Did two+ rows on the CotR last night. Over 800 teeny little stitches. So far so good. I can't really picture stringing a lifeline through 400+ stitches, but I may come around to it! LOL

Hey Kim, Already signed up for Amazing Lace, had not heard of the Reading or Trek ones, both sound cool. Have a great weekend.

Nope, it's not just you... Since I just finished Warming Grace, I signed up for Papa's Quilt to make green squares. Of course there is SP8 and Project Spectrum, but to keep me more busy, I started the "Walk, then Knit" group for the summer. Isn't it great to keep busy?

Hi Kim - The teacher was cagey about what dye we were using, but based on the cellophane packets and that it was set with vinegar, I think it was probably Cushing's acid dye.

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...

Memory Lane

 Came back…looking through old posts.  There are many times when I really miss blogging. Life has been super busy.  Work, family…pretty stressful. I still have delusions of grandeur that I will find time to get back to the things I love to do unfortunately for the last few years it has been a lot of HAVE to do versus WANT to do.
