2012 Summer Sweater Knit Along.
Wednesday, June 27, 2012 at 3:02PM Setting the scene: me, standing in front of my wall unit that houses my stash, drawers open, glass doors flung wide, just staring. (for a long, long time)...
oldest: Uh, mom. Whatcha doing?
me: Thinking.
oldest: 'bout what?
me: What to knit.
oldest: For who?
me: Well, that's part of the thinking, see.
oldest: And the wall's gonna tell you?
me: No, silly. The walls can't talk. I'm listening to the yarn.
Because yessiree...it's here! The second Summer Sweater Knitalong hosted by the lovely Shannon, aka, Luvinthemommyhood.
I have such affection for this KAL. It's hard to believe it was only a year ago that I discovered the group on Ravelry and set about knitting my Narragansett. Since then, I've met and connected with so many wonderful knitters--I truly love my virtual knitting friends and enjoy being a moderator for the group.
I had always read Shannon's blog but it wasn't until I fell for knitting and she began her KALs that we "met"--and I feel so lucky to be a part of the community. If you're a knitter, hope you're joining the fun, too. Sign ups and information can be found in this post and in the Ravelry group here. See you there!

p.s. I have three (three!) projects planned for the KAL. I'm starting with a linen shrug that should be a great knit to take to the beach next week, followed by a lovely pullover, and finally, I hope to at least start a long overdue sweater for Charlie. I'll post pattern detes and yarn pictures asap.

Awwww...I feel the same way about the KAL's and you too m'dear! I thank you for all your help and support and your kind friendship :) Big hugs and have a wonderful holiday - you deserve it!
yay, yay, yay. Three!!! You're awesome. It's gonna be a great KAL!
And I thought my Umbrellas project was going to be ambitious ;) Well for me at least...small needles and fair isle. But three projects! Wow, that is ambitious. Can't wait to see the progress.
Yay! It's beginning! I'm really excited to have met you through the TTTKAL and can't wait to see your projects this time around!
I'm glad I'm not the only over-ambitious person hoping to get to three sweaters.
oooh! i can't wait to see the lovely work that no doubt you'll do! enjoy the beach.
