So, how is the project going for all of you who have not been able to join us on Ravelry yet?The group is booming as we have 24 members (including all who were already members) and are learning new things with our lace and about ourselves.We have had different tips and tricks to be thrown our way and I am enjoying seeing all the pictures that are being put up.We may not be the most active group

Hi all, just a quick note. As most of you know from the email I sent, I want to set up this KAL on Ravelry as I believe I will better manage it there.We have the three interested and I will be setting it up within the next 48 hours.Looking forward to seeing you all there and having all the details.And don't worry, if you haven't been invited in yet I'll still keep you updated through here!

I realized that I haven't posted in quite awhile. So here is my very slow progress on my Plain Vanilla Sweater. I knew this one would take lots more time than the Clapotis. I'm toying with the idea of changing the top, but I've got plenty of time to decide.I'm using Knit Picks Crayon. It's nice to work with and really has a nice feel knit up. I am knitting in the round--I just couldn't face all

What is the name of the Knitty pattern that seemed to sweep the knitting world by storm in 2004/2005?

It is always surprising to see our favorite craft show up in books, which characters do we find knitting in the Harry Potter series?

Will be edited to be posted here when I return from work sometime this evening! Don't forget to come back and check on it!Okay, here I am (a little later than I wanted to be but...) and the trivia question is:In the Victorian era what were knitting needles traditionally made of?

Approximately, when did knitting turn from a "men's" craft into a "woman's" craft?

I have completed the fronts and back of the sweater. Love that it was done in one piece with divisions at the armholes. The less seaming, the better, as far as I'm concerned. I also have one sleeve finished and have just begun the second. I took apart a sweater I had started which I didn't like so I think I'm going to be short on the yarn. I considered shortening the sleeves but I like the look

Even before the advent of community groups to spur us along, knitters have had an interesting language all their own. After all, who else would understand K, P, K2Tog, SSK. And we seem to come up with more and more abbreviations everyday. This week's question is to tell me what the following mean:SeXFrogDH, DD, DS (etc)EZUFOKIPWIPLYSTINK

I have no pictures to show you. In fact, I have no progress to show you as I can't seem to get into this top. Each of the yarns in my stash (acrylics) don't seem right for my top and I keep frogging. Alas, I have to get motivated to either continue with a yarn that I have or to find a new pattern.How is everyone else doing?

I haven't had a chance to photograph it or blog about it, but on our start date I did begin a test/gauge swatch for the Stacy sweater from Big Girl Knits (it is the sweater on the cover of the book). First I knit a test of the honeycomb pattern and then the ribbing. Amazingly, I got gauge with the first set of needles I tried for both parts of the pattern. Yes!I plan to cast on just as soon as

Many people know that there is knitting and there is crocheting. Just as many people don't know the differences between the two. What is the difference between knitting and crocheting?

Good morning and welcome to Cast-on day for our second project. I am going to be doing Isabellaagain from Knitty. I hate to wear long sleeves, even during winter because I'm so hot natured and live in SC so this is perfect for me. I'm still hemming and hawing of which stash yarn I'm going to be using to make it.Thanks once again for joining me in knitting something for ourselves. This time we

I am now putting the finishing touches on my shawl but due to unforeseen technical difficulties will not be able to share pictures with you until probably Sunday.I'm looking forward to starting the sweater/top with you all and details about the contest will be posted tomorrow.Thanks,Melissa

I would spend more time announcing this, but right now I have a lot of family here for a difficult situation. I will elaborate on details more next week.Our next project will be a top (sweater, etc) to be started on August 1.Also, with the next project there will be a contest.We are still accepting members if you all know anyone who would like to join us.~Melissa

Completed and very happy with the results. It took me longer than expected to finish because I ran out of yarn and had to order one additional ball. Yet another hazard of not using my LYS. Can't wait to see everybody else's results and to receive my next "assignment."

Hi all!I finished the Clapotis shawl in June, but took awhile getting around to taking pics. Anyway, here it is. It looks nice. I wore to my reunion and got many compliments. I am not terrifically happy with it. The main problem (and the one that can't be fixed) is that the chenille strand worms very badly.Also, I miscalculated the yarn and came up short. Some fancy "arrangement" and a big pin

I have been working slowly on mine and hopefully I'll have time to upload pictures soon.Don't forget our deadline for the first project is July 31 - I can't believe it's July already.Also, please either comment or email me with which project you would like to see us working on next.- lace- sweater- socks-

Here are a few FOs and someA(lmost)FOs.The first one is for CTH's design contest. I still have a few ends to weave in and need to sew in the pockets. I'm calling it "Rings of Supersock". LOL. It came out pretty well but nothing like being down to the wire. Even though this is going off to CTH, I'm going to make one for myself-someday.Below is a finished SummerWrap that sold so the one to theright

I just want to say, that everyone who is keeping us updated are doing beautifully and I am so proud of you all to be completing projects that are for yourself.I'm trudging away slowly and should have some extra knitting time next week, besides just my five minutes a day.

I've been making some progress on the Lady Eleanor! Slowly but surely she's coming along. Work, homework, baseball, laundry, Mother's Day gifts, etc got in the way, but I try to work at least a few rectangles on her everyday. I'm enjoying this KAL and hope you are too!Laura

Sorry I can't include a photograph this week but I am progressing. My shells are coming along just fine. I am finding time each day to knit for myself and no longer feel guilty about doing something for myself.I'll be finished with finals this week and will have even more time and energy to devote to leisurely activities. Yeah!Keep posting -- I love to hear and see all of the great work!

Just thought I'd up date you all with my progress. I started my Spring Things Shawl on 4th May. I messed up the pattern and started again on Friday 11th and despite dropping a stitch and having to go back a full pattern repeat on Saturday afternoon I have actually managed to make it to 9 pattern repeats of the upper body pattern.I am really enjoying knitting this shawl and have managed to work

This is not really a very good picture. I'll try to get a better one after I have the other side done. It is really coming out cute, is very soft and will be perfect in the air conditioned office this summer. Is everyone having fun?

Those whose projects I've seen are working great. My Convertible is coming along slowly but surely. My five minutes of knitting seem to be spent on one row, so it hasn't grown enough to show you another picture.Next week (Sunday or Monday depending on how time goes with celebrations - graduations for three, mothers day, etc) I plan to post a tutorial about lifelines with lots of pictures so be

I am enjoying working on the eyelit section of my shawl but am looking forward to the shells. The color doesn't represent well in the photo but it is actually a nice coral.Featured here is one of my kitties, Phoebe, guarding my shawl. Additional family members will be included in later posts.

I found a little time this weekend (in between laundry and DS's baseball games) to work on the Lady Eleanor. I just love the way the Noro Silk Garden colors just appear as rectangles. It's so nice to spend a few minutes everyday working on something for me. It's very satisfying and helps me manage all the other things I do for everyone else during the day! Thanks!

I'm so glad that our first project is a wrap because I have been kicking around several designs I wanted to work on. This is the first one, a mesh wrap in black Baby Alpaca Brushed by Plymouth.The body is done and now I will add colored ruffles on the 2 short ends. It is a knitted adaptation of a crocheted pattern in a Vogue-On the Go book. I should have the ruffles on this week and will keep you

Here's a photo of my progress on my "Mini" Lady Eleanor Stole (pattern is from the book "Scarf Style"). I don't have enough of this yarn to make the full size version so I'm making it scarf size. I started with a cast on of 24 sts vs 56. I have 8 skeins of this yarn...Patons SWS in Natural Pink that I had in my stash for something else, can't remember what though. Anyway, this is good

Oh, oh, oh, am I ever excited! My first knitalong so be gentle and patient with me. I don't have any pictures to share this evening but I will give a brief description.I am working on making my way through my stash (closet) and found my bag of Knit Picks shine worsted coral yarn. The reason I have some Knit Picks yarn is a separate issue altogether as I always try to support my LYS. But in a

Let me say in advance to please forgive some of my photos from today. I am much better behind the camera than in front of it and am still learning how to work my new remote control to the camera. So, you all already know about my decision to start the knit-a-long and why, I won't bore you with going over that again. What went into my decision for my project is that I wanted to use this yarn:as

Here's a few tips for cast-on: -No matter what the method hold both of your needles together and form your stitches over both. This will give you a nice loose stitch that is easy to work into and looks good. It will stretch appropriately and will look good into the project, even pre-blocking. - Using the long-tail cast on? Try rounding the number of stitches you have to the nearest 10

Hi everyone! I'm laptitelili, I'm French, and this is the lace project I have chosen for the KAL: the Swallowtail Shawl of Evelyne E. Clark (IK Fall 2006). I am going to use Bouton d'Or Zephyr Superwash in a light yellow. I would like to wear the shawl for a wedding at the end of August. So this KAL is perfect to give me motivation!

Hi everyone. Here is the yarn and pattern I am going to use. The yarn is lace weight. 96% blue faced leicester, 10% nylon. Blue faced leicester are a breed of sheep unique to the UK. The pattern is Spring Things Shawl by Susan Pierce Lawrence. I'm going to give it a go in this yarn but may also make it in some fine mohair yarn as well.

Getting ReadyHere are my swatches for my For Me?! KAL. I wanted something neutral (strange for me as my neutrals are usually green) yet with some sparkle and a good hand. I also haven't gotten to use the Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk so this seems like a perfect opportunity. I haven't decided whether to strand the Soft Kid with the Sublime and New Magic- depends on what pattern I decide to use.

Hello everyone. Thanks for allowing me to join this knitalong. I live in Liverpool, UK and it's very hot today - apparently this has been the hottest April in the UK for 300 years. It was around 27 degrees c today but I still managed to sit in the garden and do some work on my current knitting projects. I'm looking forward to starting my shawl - not sure what pattern I am going to use yet, but

Hello everyone. Just joined and am wondering if everyone has selected their patterns and yarn. I, for one, would love to see everyones' selections. I think this is a great idea as one shouldn't feel guilty for pampering one's self once in awhile. Especially as it helps us return to what needs to be done feeling refreshed. Remember- life is short; eat desert first.Karen
