Another KAL?

-
Ha ha ha, yes, ANOTHER KAL!

I had heard about Ysolda Teague's "Follow the Arrow" mystery knit along, but didn't participate. The gallery of finished shawls is impressive!

The Follow the Arrow mystery is unique. Each weekly clue gives two options...you choose! You get to make a choice every week! Let's see, with 6 weekly clues and two options...there is the potential for ....gosh, LOTS of different shawls ha ha ha!

When the Follow the Arrow 2 mystery KAL started popping up in my Ravelry feed....I decided that I had to join!

A few of the members in my new knitting group, the Silvercreek Knit 'n Sip knitters, are doing the KAL too! What a great way to get to know people when joining a new group! There is nothing like figuring out the clues together! 

My first choice was clue 1a. 



It looks good in the Rowan Fine Art yarn that I chose. This fingering weight yarn is hand dyed in South Africa, and is a spectacular combination of merino wool, kid mohair, mulberry silk and polyamide. These luxurious fibres combined with the polyamide make this yarn suitable for socks as well as accessories and sweaters...all in 400 yard skeins!

This yarn was originally offered in 8 multi-shade colourways, then 6 blended colourways were added! The 'Rowan' shade I am using is one of the blended shades....and I am contemplating mixing it with 'Raven' one of the original shades, somewhere along the Mystery KAL way!



I can't wait for the second clue tomorrow! Decisions decisions :)

Are you knitting the Follow the Arrow KAL? Do you like KAL's? 

Until next time,

Happy Knitting,

Anne

    Pretty colours...I did join Ysolda's Follow Your Arrow 1 and decided I enjoyed my first KAL so much, I would join the second one...I am making two 1A's and 1B's just like last time. It so much fun to see what happens...

Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits.
