Front Shot

Thank you for all the kind comments on my sweater. I didn't put a front shot up because it shows how white my legs are (blush). But here it is. Also, Lyn the green sweater on my blog is from Rebecca 32.

Red letter days

I know that often there aren't prizes given to KAL participants, but there will be this time. Since this isn't a race or anything, prizes won't be given out for the first sweater knit or anything like that. Anne had something a little different in mind, and it goes like this...

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.

Chris wants to celebrate her red letter day, November 1, her birthday, in style by donating either a 1500 yard skein of red Legend yarn or two hanks of the bulky Sonoma in red, winner's choice. Either way, it's enough to knit a sweater. Winner: Fiberjoy
~~Deb will give away a ball of red merino sport weight yarn on November 3, 2006.~~ Winner: Julia FC
~~Lynn will give away a set of four ladybug stitch markers on November 11, 2006.~~ Winner: Charity

The yarn will have everything from ribbon to glitter, handspun to homespun, eyelash to mohair, in reds of course but also golds, emeralds, and all the colors that evoke the glamour of a bygone age. It will make a scarf or small shawl that stops even winter traffic. Winner: kbattenhender
