A knit along for those needing a little splash of color in their lives... namely RED!
Contact Anne or Laura to join. We need your email address in order to send you an invitation. ;-)
By the way... There's no time limit to this KAL. This isn't a race or anything like that, either. We're just here to knit red sweaters! :-)
I did these two. Eh. The color's good. Red! I like Anne's buttons better. :-)
Prize contributors will pick a Red Letter Day. The names of all the current KAL participants will go into a hat, and one will be drawn. Ta da! A prize winner is born. The contributor will contact the winner, get her address, and send off the winnings.
Anne wanted me to be sure to let you know that anyone can contribute to the Red Kitty. To put it in her words, "maybe leftover red yarns from KAL projects, i dunno! books, needles, etc, also welcome." Let Anne or I know directly (email us) if you want to add to the Red Kitty.

The yarn's gorgeous!
Lovely yarn, Erica! And don't worry about the vinegary aroma. It can sometimes be a good sign, particularly with red (which is the color that has the greatest tendency to bleed). Some dyers are so afraid of a vinegar smell in the yarn that they bo overboard in washing it out when in reality, a bit of vinegar even in the final rinse of the yarn will help the color remain fast. The smell will dissipate in time, but at least you know they didn't rinse away all the acidic goodness of the vinegar :)
Thanks! Good to know :)
