Knitalongs! (or KALs, as we call them)
Knit, Swirl! KAL
Knit, Swirl! KAL
We're still meeting, and I don't see an end in sight! In fact, a few of us will be starting Swirl #2 shortly, and there have been some new additions recently that just started theirs. So, if you're interested... you can join us anytime! This quarter's schedule is as follows, from 10:30 to 12:30 on Saturdays:
January 21st
February 4th, 18th
March 3rd, 17th, 31st
Lizard Ridge KAL - MOVED!!!! I've had such an overwhelming response to this KAL that I decided to move it to a Saturday morning. Hopefully that will accommodate most of you that are interested in knitting along with me!
1st SATURDAY (formerly Wednesday) of the month, beginning March 7th from 10:30a - 12:30p
Join me as I tackle this beautiful afghan, constructed from 24 squares of a worsted weight Noro (Kureyon, Silk Garden, or Taiyo). You will learn a technique called short rows to get the wavy effect. You'll get really good at hiding your wraps & turns! My plan is to knit two blocks a month, so I can have the entire afghan done in one year. Come join me, and get 15% off your purchase of Kureyon / Silk Garden / Taiyo for each month's squares. Click here for a link to the pattern, and check out my first block below!
