Knit Along Now Forming

Hi There!

Oh no! It's another Knit-along!!!

Well, I'm hoping that this one will be a little different. This knit-along is for those interested in creating a scarf, shawl or stole using patterns designed by Dorothy Siemens of Fiddlesticks Knitting. Dorothy's patterns are simply beautiful and afford the opportunity for all knitters - from beginner to expert - to try their hand at lace. I'm hoping to form a community that will help each other through problems, give suggestions, hold hands during tough times and ultimately rejoice at a beautiful finished outcome. There is no time limit on this knit-along so feel free to take your time.

The Knit-along will officially begin on November 1st. I'll set up a lace tips & techniques area where folks can share some of their favorite methods and I'll also host a question and answer column. Finally, there will be the pre-requisite resources area, so you'll be able to find the perfect yarn that fits your budget.

If you're interested in joining, please send an email. I'll send you an invitation to join this blog, and you can post as much - or as little - as you wish. You can also send me suggestions for tips & techniques, resources or questions you'd like to have answered.

I do hope to see an introductory (who you are, what you'll be doing and in what materials) and a finished-product post.

Bye Until November!
