Well…. the KAL is underway, and so far so good. It’s landed at 1,590 members – and it’s truly an international group. The first part of the pattern was released on Wednesday, and already a number of pictures are cropping up. They all look wonderful, and I enjoy seeing how differently it looks in the various yarns. So…. keep knitting and posting.
At the moment I’m winding yarn for my next project. I have close to 2,800 yards of laceweight yarn to wind, so it’s taking a while. But it’s a lovely Merino Lace from skacel (1375 yds per 100 g). Maybe I’ll finish winding the yarn this evening so I can cast on the next project. Fingers and mind are itching to get going.
Ravelry is also fun. There are SO many pictures in there, and so many lovely projects. One of the really nifty features (I think) is that you can quickly get a list of all the other people working on a particular project. So, for example, if you’re working on a Lizard Ridge afghan, there are 272 projects listed and you can view all those pictures. Or…. if you’re thinking about casting on for a new shawl, you can see if anyone else has knit it and get an idea of which yarns and colours you like. It’s great fun. Of course, with all these lovely pictures right at your fingertips, it’s hard to be restrained and not start everything you see….
