First of all I have to thank all the people who have signed up for the Mystic Waters KAL. I am simply blown away by the response – 790 members right now, and still growing. I’m really looking forward to it starting on October 24, and seeing what the shawl looks like in all these other yarns. So far I’ve been browsing through the swatches, and of course all the messages. It’s really fun to see where everyone is from. There are knitters from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Chech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, UK, Canada, US, India, Saudi Arabia and Australia, to mention some. Amazing!
Sign ups are still open, so if you want to join us, please head over to the yahoo group.
Secondly, I received my SP package yesterday. Many thanks. It contained some lovely Panda licorice, a SPA book and a skein of Misti Alpaca Lace 2-ply. The yarn is wonderfully soft, and I have to say that I am very partial to the natural colour. It also included a suggested lace shawl pattern for a Swallowtail Shawl. The construction of that shawl is really neat.
Finally, I received my long awaited Ravelry invite. I’ve not done much more than sign up, but you can find me there as knitandknag. I did notice that both the Burridge Lake Afghan and the Mystic Waters KAL beat me there though….. so now I have to catch up on what you’ve been saying.
