What: It's a Make Along! Use any DDD speckled yarn to knit or crochet or weave in whatever design you like. Join in the camaraderie of makers from around the world as we play and celebrate spring.
Several fabulous designers are participating - I am honored that Tiziana Sammuri, Anne-Lise Maigaard, Nim Teasdale, Lorraine Ashton, and Jutta Moeller are all joining in the fun, some even designing shawls especially for the event. Some might even design for us DURING the party!
Games and Prizes include hand-made project and gadget bags, patterns, gift cards, and free hand-dyed yarn.
Come play! You don't want to miss it! Get the details and join in now!
]]>Winner of the August FO drawing is a wonderfully happy two color summer sweater by CHS2010 using TussaLin in Pollen and Sprout*. The pattern is Edie by Isabel Kraemer. Congratulations, CHS2010! And thanks for that brilliant smile, too!
What a picture of bliss!

* Sprout has been discontinued because it requires a dye color that is no longer available from any manufacturer. The closest substitute is Edamame.

]]>July's winner is a gorgeous lacy shawl made by LindaSueToo with SilkyBoo{lace} in Poppy. The pattern is 1001 Nights by Anne-Lise Maigaard. Congratulations, LindaSueToo!
Look at this gorgeous shawl, it glows! Not only is the knitting perfect, it's also beaded beautifully and the points are adored with silver feathers. This is truly a work of art.
The shawl was made during a Dazzling Red Make-A-Long in my Ravelry group and one of the games was to share the red things in our lives and homes. LindaSueToo shared these, along with wonderful stories about them and their history. Also, see all those doilies? LindaSueToo made them too, aren't they great?
