i know a lot of our kal members are trying out new things and there are a lot of hats being made with interesting techniques. there are also a lot of lace work and cables happening so i thought i would use today's post to link up some of our handy resources so if you happen to get stuck or are still deciding on your project but needed a bit more helpful info before you jumped in i hope these help you out! please remember we also have a very active ravelry group that is always more than willing to help knitters out and to answer any questions. so don't be shy - join the fun!
|| PICKING UP STITCHES ||
i am just about ready to pick up stitches (not one of my fave things to do) and here's a great knit along post from one of my besties jane richmond.

|| LACE KNITTING AND KNITTED LACE ||
i adore lace and knitting it. i also like to get others to not be so frightened or overwhelmed by lace knitting and knitted lace. here's a post i did with a fun rundown on the ins and outs of lace.

I'm about half way through my Downton cowl. Such a great pattern and I'm taking my time with it to enjoy the fun - although you're really making me want to cast on a nola now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all the great tips! xoxo
Good grief that yarn looks delicious! I can't wait to see your Nola.
ReplyDeleteIt is delicious! I just can't stop petting it :)
DeleteThat looks really great! My project is still trucking along. I'm just making some decisions about length and color-change as I knit the body so I can have some unique and interesting details, too. I'll have to take my questions to the rav group!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your project when it's done! It's going to be gorgeous!
DeleteI love your yarn! My hat is inching along verrrry slowly, but it's encouraging to see the leaves pattern showing itself now. There were a few oopsies moments, but nothing that really affected the outcome too much. I'm excited that I'll have a new hat to wear when I go to Oregon to see my family in February
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a fabulous job hun!
Delete<3 So happy you're enjoying knitting your Nola!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you wrote such a fab pattern!
