Yes, these projects are the same. Yes, they are both on the needles at the same time. Yes, they are both for me.
Rathtrevor times 2 - one in Misti Alpaca Tonos for at the store and the second is a gifted yarn from long ago that's been waiting for the perfect project.
Is this crazy awesome or just crazy? I say crazy awesome.
I get a lot of questions on what the next knitalong at Firefly Fibers will be and I always keep it under wraps until the launch date. Believe me, it tortures me to keep quiet... One of my favorite parts of knitting and my role in the knitting universe is that I get to share my love of knitting and my passion for natural fibers with other enthusiasts. The KAL projects focus on pattern and yarn combinations that shine together, so keeping the details of what's in my KAL project bag to myself always has me bursting at the seams. I'm super excited about this next one and want/need to share something, so here's a picture of the project bag where the next KAL is residing:
Pretty, isn't she?
I have quite a bit of knitting left on this beauty and not much time with the shop samples that keep casting themselves on when I'm not looking, the holiday knitting and my own weakness of casting on a sweater to help cope with the chaos - the sweater has yet to happen, but I fear the time is very close.
Cheers!
I'm blown away and humbled by the overwhelming response to my giveaway - 55 entries is pretty amazing! Thank you to everyone that left a comment and I'm really excited to try out the recipes that were shared. I realized after the post that I did not share my favorite beverage. My favorite beverage is strong dark black coffee - the stronger the better. For something a little more fun, I love coffee liqueur on the rocks or in mixed drinks. It's almost time for our annual batch, so I'll post my homemade recipe when we make this year's batch for the holidays.
Now, for the announcement of the giveaway winner. Drum roll, please...
