Double the Fun!

I haven't been involved in a KAL (knit-a-long) for a while. I want to say it's been a year. Yeesh.

I've joined up for 2 KALs and they both start tomorrow. I'm pretty excited because one of them is Stephen West's Mystery Shawl KAL !!!  Wooooo!  For $6, you buy the pattern but Stephen doles in out in pieces to you, so you really don't know what the actual shawl will look like until the end. But based on the work Stephen does, it's going to be amazing!

Follow Stephen on Instagram. You won't regret it.


I picked out my 4 colors and got them caked up. I swapped out the Tempted yarn in the photo when I realized it was lace weight yarn for a cake of Madeline Tosh Sock in a bright red (no label).


My color A is the Knit Picks Bare yarn, with the bright red, bright green and bright purple as my other colors. I have no idea how these will look together but that's the fun of it! My project page is here for the yarn info.

Next up is the KAL for the Sunnydale Yarn Club - Patrol 2 (BUFFY!). It is hosted by the Dizzy Blonde Studios and honestly, I loved this yarn club so much I'm going to try and snag a spot on the Patrol 3 round. My love of Buffy knows no bounds.

I'm using the yarn called O Soave Fanciulla based on the episode Passion. Oh, that episode. Heart. Breaking.



All caked up and nowhere to go

Even though we can use any pattern with the Sunnydale yarn to enter the KAL, I chose to buy I Flunked The Written because it just looks cool and in this colorway will be magnificent!

So, Halloween night.... bring it on. I have knitting to do and many many episodes of Buffy to watch!
