Our May 2009 KAL Announcement!

Hey Guys!
.
Get your needles and cotton ready...our next KAL is coming up! It will begin on MONDAY, MAY 18, 2009!
.
This KAL will be designed and hosted by me this month!
.
For this pattern you will all need Size US 5 or US 6 (3.75 mm or 4mm)
.
PLEASE NOTE: The needle size is really up to you...but if you are a loose knitter, I would strongly suggest a smaller needle size for you so your stitches really "POP" out better! When you knit loose, the "picture" stitches sometimes get lost with the background stitches. Remember...the tighter you knit, the better...so if you're not a tight knitter, try changing the size of your needles...let your needles do all the work for you :o)
.
You will need 1 ball of 100% worsted weight cotton.
.
The colour is knitter's choice but it is strongly recommended that a SOLID colour be used and NOT a variegated! This dishcloth will have a Spring/Summer theme to it so something bright and cheerful would work really well!
.
The instructions will be emailed daily as "special notice" to ensure that everyone gets them...if you are on daily digest and you don't want to wait for the digest to come in for your daily rows, you can always come to the group site: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Rachels_Knitting_Room/ to see the posted rows. As soon as I post them they will appear on the group!
.
I will also be posting the links for the daily rows on our Group Blog http://rachelsknittingroom.blogspot.com/ so feel free to check our blog daily.
.
After I post them to the group, I will make a text copy of them just in case anyone misses the post, and I will put them in the group FILES section under, "Our Group Knit Alongs"...just look for "May 2009 KAL ~ Designed by Rachel".
.
Feel free to email me at: ramavasc@yahoo.com with any questions you may have about our next KAL!
.
Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!
.
Looking forward to next Monday Morning!
.
Hugs,
:o)
