today is the day! it's time to show off all of your hard work from our
downton abbey knit along m'dears! i am absolutely amazed by the talent of this group of ladies! so many lovely knits! my queue and faves grew in epic proportions this kal! i feel a strong urge to make a lot of hats and shawls! asap! this is one of my favorite posts to write when we do our knit alongs. i love going through all of the FO pics in our
ravelry group and seeing just what was accomplished during the kal. it feels wonderful to know we all knit these TOGETHER. it may not have been in person but we still did it together. i love that.
the best part is that we all did them while watching one of our favorite shows - downton abbey. i think it's safe to say we all love it and it just made this kal that much more fun to have downton gossip to dish which spurred many other wonderful and very special conversations in our
ravelry group. new friendships were made and existing ones were made stronger. a lot of new techniques were learned and a few of us recovered from our boo boos (myself included) and we all managed to come out of it with brand new lovelies to show off.
to say i luv you all is an understatement. the wonderful and caring group of ladies in our
rav group have such a special place in my heart. i look forward to going on there everyday and chatting and seeing what you are all up to and doing this post is my little way of saying thank you! thank you for being you, for being brave, for being strong, for staying up late with me, for loving downton as much as i do, for loving knitting as much as i do and for being such a welcoming group of gals. i also have lots of AWESOME prizes to give away next week too! so now....enough of my gushing...here's your hard work ladies!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Shannon for hosting this Kal!!! Everyone's projects are so amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I really enjoyed this KAL Shannon, thank you for hosting it.
ReplyDeleteI'd been wanting to join ever since the sweater KAL. Hoping to join the next one too:)
Awesome job by everyone!! And I'm thrilled I got a cloche out of it--so different than what I usually go for but I love it! Thanks Shannon. Great KAL, as always.
ReplyDeleteI am super impressed. Great work ladies!!
ReplyDeleteAm just over the moon proud of myself that I had two projects in the post! It has been a productive 2013 for me so far with knitting and I know that the KAL pushed me out of my comfort zone and I tried some things I wouldn't have done otherwise. Getting lots of compliments on my pieces IRL too which is always nice!
