Me Time KAL - Yep, that's what you are looking at.  All the photos collected thus far emailed in to me, posted on facebook and the Ravelry group.  It's exciting for sure!!

The project you may recognize from the holiday issue this last year in the Vogue Knitting magazine.  #31 Lace Wrap by Andrea Jurgrau Queen of Hearts.  We started January 1st and will "wrap" it up on February 28th, with the prize drawing held and announced on February 29th.   

Yes, we even have prizes -- you have to finish the garment and submit a photo of the finished shawl for all to see, then your name goes into a hat and two names will be drawn on the 29th.  We have a sweater kit donated to us from Skacel, and a subscription to a year of the Vogue Knitting magazine.

Unraveled Yarn & Artful Gifts and also Just Knits have been participating in this KAL.  It's been real fun.  I'm not a lace knitter and have knit with beads before, but I don't do that a lot.  I have really enjoyed the pattern, and I've learned a lot about reading lace charts, and there are three of them with this project.  I would knit this shawl again - it has a nice ebb and flow to it.

If any of you other yarn shops would like to host a KAL just email me with your ideas.  It's been really fun!  Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend watching the Super Bowl, and I will be here knitting away on my shawl.

Fondly,

Mary*
