Almost a new cast-on because this cast-on won’t be happening until January 13th.
I signed up for a mystery KAL, Kinetik from designer Laura Nelkin.
Laura Nelkin is a noted knitting designer who particularly specializes in beaded knitting and this will be my first time using beads in knitting.
Laura Nelkin also just happens to be a Cayuga local, plus a LYS is hosting some gatherings for participants of this KAL so this is kind of like locavore knitting so to speak, or a locaknit as I am calling it, which should be fun.
The mystery part is an interesting touch for me as somebody who pours over photos of a pattern before deciding to knit it myself and I’m looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
Incidently, noted fiberista and author of the abecedarium of knitted letters is also a local resident, a pretty good couple of knitterati for such a small place don’t you think?
And now I’m off to figure out yarn choice. On her blog, Laura Nelkin is giving away the yarn and beads she used for her own Kinetik if you leave a comment by Jan 10th. I’m not holding my breath, but you should hop over there and leave a comment if you’re feeling lucky!
