90% Knitting's Alphabet K/CAL

Do you like video podcasts? About knitting and spinning? Have you tried 90% Knitting?

Lisa is the person behind Fibernymph Dye Works, and that is her podcast. I really enjoy it, I find her to be pleasant to listen to, and I'm interested in what she talks about. From June till September she will have a Knit Along/Crochet Along (KAL/CAL) on her Ravelry group. I'm going to participate in this one, as well as the previously mentioned and StashDash.

This one is a little more challenging in my opinion, because I need to knit a pattern that starts with one of the letters of the month. If the company of the yarn I'm knitting of also starts with that months letter, and the name of the colorway as well, I'll earn additional points. Of course I'll try that! The more challenging the more fun.

June's letters are A-F.

My pattern: Caramel Slouch

Yarn company: Du Store Alpakka

Colorway: Eight Three Four

That should get me 3 points + 1 bonus point

Now to wait for June the 1st.

The Knit Girllls SAL/KAL with Three Waters Farm

My two favorites meet!

From June the 1st till August the 31st, The Knit Girllls and Three Waters Farm will have a spin along/knit along (SAL/KAL) going on together. I've already ordered and received my braid of fiber, some luscious BFL, in the Honky Tonk colorway that is the required braid for this SAL/KAL.

This is my very first spin along knit along, but as far as I've gathered the purpose is to spin the fiber in to yarn, and then knit an item out of the yarn. This KAL doesn't have a knitting pattern that everyone will have to knit, you choose yourself what to knit out of your yarn.

I'm very excited to participate, the community is a great one and I look forward to discussing progress with the others. And of course I hope to win a prize!

This SAL/KAL starts on the 1st of June, and I'm clearing my bobbins, ready to go!

Stash Dash FO #10

The 10th finished item for Stash Dash is the Spring In My Heart I just posted about.

So far I've got 2879,4 meters/5000 meters for Stash Dash.

Three Waters Farms Top Of The Month Club - May FINISHED!

Spring In My Heart is finished!

I got 6 skeins of about 54 meters each, to make the striping occur more often. In total I got 388 meters which I'm really happy about. I can't wait to start knitting with it, but I feel like I need to find a really good pattern that will make the most of the yarn.

Targhee was very pleasant to spin, and I will try it out again. The prep on this fiber and the way it was dyed was impeccable, like all the fiber I've got from Three Waters Farm. That might explain why I've bought 2 braids in addition to the June's club shipment that is on the way.
