FIFO CAL!:
Finally take the time to knit a project that you've been wanting to do for a long time. First-In-First-Out! Items are eligible if you're started them after September 15, 2016. The Craft-a-long will continue through November. Tell us why your item counts! We'd prefer if the yarn or pattern has been in "the queue" since before January 2016.
Jill has plans to make the Mesmeric Cardigan by Katy Banks using Knit Picks Palette using colors inspired by the sweater that Keira Knightley wears in Imitation Game.
Michele has been wanting to make the Lune shawl by Miriam Felton for years and might do it for the CAL.
What We're Jonesing For:
Michele is loving the bonnets by Balls to the Wall/ Gretchen Tracy, including the Iris Bloom Bonnet, She's a Betty Bonnet, and the Floral Mesh Bonnet (all free patterns!). She also mentions the Mendia Hat by Ambah O'Brien.
Jill planning on knitting On the Spice Market by Melanie Berg during her vacation. She loves the new shawl Boon Lay by Asa Tricosa. She likes the Rain, Rain, Go Away by Laura Reinbach and the Laurel Cardigan by Amy Christoffers from the newest Knitty, Deep Fall 2016. For all those crazy variegated skeins in your stash, there is the One & Done shawl by casapinka. She also likes the crochet shawl Heavenly Lemon by Elena Madsen.
