A few really fun-looking knit alongs have come up lately, knocking me firmly off of my knitting plan for 2023. The Shawl KAL from The Woolly Thistle, actually already started a few days ago. However, it runs until June, so there’s plenty of time to join in! The fun think about this KAL is you… Continue reading KALing Through Spring
I am finished with clue 1 of the Who Ya Gonna Shawl MKAL(Ravelry link). The next one is out on Friday, and I’m really looking forward to it. The pattern is by Mary Annarella of Lyrical Knits and will be published in weekly installments until the end of March. Most of her patterns are full… Continue reading Who Ya Gonna Shawl?

Clue 1 is done! On to clue 2!
Now that the Lustrous shawl is finished, I finally let myself start my next ridiculous project, the Just Beachy MKAL (Ravelry link). I’m around halfway through clue 1 right now, and liking it so far 🙂 Looking forward to seeing where it goes next! The yarn is a set from Fiber Optic yarns for this… Continue reading Sunday Start

Clue 3 is continuing on the theme from clue 2 of alternating an interesting stitch pattern section with a garter stitch section. The stitch patterns are just enough to keep from being boring, while being difficult. Pretty… Continue reading PB Shawl – Almost to the Halfway Point
Clue 1 of Casapinka’s Perfect Blend MKAL is done. Clue 2 should be released at some point on Monday, so next up is starting some socks! Yarn sets for this MKAL are being done by Miss Babs (also a lot of other dyers, but Miss Babs was the dyer Casapinka originally worked with on it).… Continue reading PB MKAL Clue 1 Done!

It’s a boomerang shaped shawl, which is pretty evident right from the start. The… Continue reading Perfect Blend
