This summer I’m participating in a number of KAL’s (knit along s). If you have never signed up for one I would encourage you to do so. The first one I did was the Berroco Lopi Sweater. It made me try new patterns and get out of my comfort zone. Plus I met so many nice people online and learned a lot. There are all kinds of KALs available to you, for practically any type of knitted project. I’ll include more info on KALs soon. Ravelry is a great resource on finding/checking them out. Go to Ravelry, search in groups and type in KAL, and check the box (active in the last year). Browse around, if you see something that interests you click on that and the "guidelines” will be listed. The pattern may be free or need to be bought. Yarn can be your choice or sometimes from a specific company. The time it runs is stated. But along with lots of knitting comes hand/arm/finger stress, and repetitive injuries. Protect yourself by doing some of the below stretches so you can knit for many year...
I have yarn and a spinning wheel. Ready to handle anything as long as I have my fiber along for the ride. Contact me at: knittingdragonflies at gmail dot com A blog about knitting and spinning. I also have a link list to tutorials for knitting spinning and a free knitting patterns link list.
