Very Exciting
Oh I am so excited about this KAL and have been working hard on getting some great goodies for all the participants! Guess what? We have a shop sponsor. All members who sign up by Jan 7th will receive a coupon for free shipping from Knit Purl home of the Ab Fantabulous Silk Cloud. Silk Cloud, for those not in the know, is a handpainted silk mohair laceweight yarn that is marginally thinner than KSH and has a greater silk content. Even better than that it has 100yds more per hank than KSH for a piddly dollar more. All those patterns calling for 3 hanks of KSH can be made with 2 hanks of handpainted Silk Cloud~ you save $ on yarn and will get free shipping to boot! Can you beat that? Oh yeah I can... I picked up some hanks to give away in the monthly drawings ;^>
In other exciting news~ it never really ends trust me ~ today I spoke to a long time lace knitter who is raiding her stash for give aways. CASHMERE people. 100% Cashmere. Plus she is gonna break her own rule of never posting to a blog ever and is typing up some tutorials for us. Yipieee.
But the best news of all~ we are up to 14 participants so far. I look forward to meeting all of you whom I do not know yet and most especially to all of the wonderful lace knitting we will be creating together

PS Anne left a note in the comments about another Victorian Knitting Today lace along and as soon as I find my missing link to button I will link to there AND Knit Purl so that you may join both knitalongs [if you wish] and start creating your shopping wish list. X-mas is coming after all and I know all of our families will give us a wee bit of mad money for yarn..... please please please all I want for Xmas is lace yarn money VBG
