The Scoop on New KALs for Knitting Purls

When we first started talking about a KAL on the Ravelry group, I was concerned that no one would participate. OK, I guess I might have been wrong. So, here is information about the next 2 KALs. We’re not doing signups yet. I just want you to have the info in hand.

Spring Stashbusters
Theme: Colorwork
Signups: February 13-February 27
KAL Begins: March 1; ends May 22
We’re going to do colorwork: stranding, fair isle, intarsia, whatever. And the items can be wearables or home use items. Think about using lighter yarns, as this is intended for spring. BUT, 85% of the yarn or fiber MUST have come from your stash. So, if your stash is looking a little pale, you have time to stock up. But, the idea is to whittle down that in-house stash so you’ll have room for more.

Summer Hotties
Theme: Cables and Lace
Signups: May 15-May 30
KAL begins: June 1; ends August 22
I know some people don’t associate knitting with summer, but there are all kinds of things that can be made. Plus, we encourage you to use laceweight yarn as much as possible. To qualify as a Summer Hottie, the object (wearable or otherwise) must contain lace or cables–better yet, both! It would also be great if at least some of the items were “green,” environmentally speaking that is. Of course the color green is good too.

I am hopeful that we’ll have prizes, but info about that will come later. And, of course we’ll remind you as signup dates approach. Oh, and lest I forget, Bev will be the coordinator of these as well.

Awesome gathering. I can gasp a lot of knowledge here.
