Subject: [strandedknitter] Knitting this Sat., 9/22, Novato Panera + a KAL!
Hi folks,
Let's gather at the Panera in Novato (near Target) for a sunny afternoon of
patio. RSVP is appreciated but not required
Also, let's do a Knit-Along!
I started knitting a shawl pattern I bought on Ravelry a couple weeks ago,
Tendrilly, pictured above. Last Saturday, it was suggested that we do a
knit-along, ie. KAL. I'm pretty far into the pattern, so I can "lead" the KAL
and help others get started. It has a very basic cable and some lace. You need
to know how to do a yarn over, ssk, and k2tog. Not hard but this is not a
super-simple mindless knit. It's a nice challenge if you've never done much
lace before. The instructions are both written out and in chart form. The great
thing is that a lot of the shawl is just stockinette stitch. So if you're up
for it, buy the pattern on Ravelry and pick out your yarn. I suggest a solid or
semi-solid/tonal color in a sport/dk/worsted weight yarn. Fingering might be
too fine. We can discuss everything on Saturday.
Warren
