When is the next Knit-Along?

Zontee says: Hi Bonita, we’ll have some special video knit-alongs with Knitting Daily TV this summer, but for a regular knit-along, look for a new one in the fall.

Too hard for me and like some of the other gals – I am slow with the knitting and would fall behind the others.

Is it to late to join? I would love to do this but just found the KAL on Ravelry.

Hi, I’m from Michigan and am using this as I recuperate from back surgery. I need to be careful with the pattern and have pretty much got it down for all but the two larger sets. Looking good right now. I’m making it in a soft orange,so not a traditional color, but looks great anyway!

I am going to do thie KAL but I am going to have to start later. I am to the final 6 rounds of the previous KAL the fourth one actually I made one for myself, sold one did another with out the Texture and sending to my daughter and this next to last one for a while will be for my sons girlfriend doing it in cotton, the others were done in Vannas Choice and Wool Ease I love both and will be making another in Wool Ease in the Blue Mist love that yarn and the color it is so nice to work with and washes up and is so soft and comfortable. So as soon as I finish this Textured Schrug from last years KAL I am going to start this one but it is so helpful to be able to read about the different tricks and tips for Knitting I have only Knit a few things before this last KAL But have truely enjoyed it. Well I will get in on this and can’t wait to try my hand at the cables. I have always thought they were beautiful but looked so difficult. I have Crocheted since I was 5 about 43 years or so and have only recently gotten the knitting bug and find I really love to do both but don’t have enough arms… oh to be and octopus with eight arms! only one eye but Well I get off subject but will be starting this project by the weekend. thanks to everyones wonderful posts on technique!

Whew! Got the back done last night. Since I am making this for my husband who is a very big man it felt like a baby blanket. Am getting ready to cast on stitches for the front today!

Hi there….I’m from northeastern PA and this is my first KAL…I just LOVE this pattern and am a little over 11″ into the back using OATMEAL. So far, it’s just gorgeous….

Found the yarn at our local Michael’s, and it was on sale–great timing! Haven’t knit anything quite this complicated in about 30+ years….my very first attempt at knitting a fishermen sweater was a cardigan made with light grey wool from a sheep farm in NY state. I AM STILL WEARING THAT SWEATER ALMOST DAILY 34 YEARS LATER, and it still looks like new…unbelievable!!

Anyway, a friend has loaned to me a “magnetic” board to hold the directions (this board came with two narrow magnetic strips to place under each line), and it has made the project even more of a pleasure.
