Hey Guys! Get your needles and cotton ready...our next KAL is coming up! It will begin on MONDAY, JUNE 15, 2009!
.
This KAL has been designed by a wonderful designer! I've been a huge fan of her work for years so I was thrilled to bits when she gave us permission to use one of her patterns! I had seen this pattern years ago and for whatever reason it had disappeared from it's online home...but after some heavy hunting through all my printed out patterns from over the years, I found it along with the designer's contact info and I was so happy to find out that she didn't mind a bit if we used it for our group knit along this month!

As you will notice, yes I did mention the dreaded "C" word...cable. This will be our first attempt at a group knit along with cables. There's no need to fret though if cables make you a bit squeamish...this isn't a cable-infested cloth so if cables are new to you this is probably a great starter project for you...there will only be 3 rows where you will need to cable so please don't be discouraged to try this one. There are tons of help online as well as tons of really helpful people here on the group!
