November 1st KAL DAY 1

. ~Hi!
~ A bit of info before we begin our next KAL ~

This will involve changing colors - no groaning!!
It's not a difficult pattern - and if you haven't done more than one color knitting before, this will be good practice!
Do NOT cut the yarn at every color change; simply carry the unused color along the side - overlap/twist the two yarn pieces instead. You can always find more info if needed by checking knitting sites online.  [I will send some suggested helpful links tomorrow.]
 
  Suggestion:   I strongly recommend that you either highlight the color changes when you print off the pattern - or use some kind of reminder to yourself.   I've knit for fifty years and still have to give myself reminders!!  It's too easy to get knitting and neglect to change a color, or purl when you should knit!
  I am not going to tell you if this will be a pattern or a picture cloth!
A bit of a mystery.......! 
but--I will tell you that it is NOT any type of lace pattern, tho.

So, here is what you will need:
Cotton yarn – (two colors)
A = blue
B = white
Size 7 (US) = 4.5 mm needles [or desired needle size]

And your treat tonight for halloween is the first day of rows! 
So while you wait for trick-or-treaters, you can start your KAL!
Pattern:
A = solid color
B = white 

Cast on 37 stitches loosely with color A 

Row1: (Color A) knit across 

Row2: (Color A) knit across 

Row3: (Color A) knit across 

Row4: (Color A) knit across 

Row5: (Color B) knit across 

Row6: (Color B) K4, P29, K4 

Row7: (Color A) knit across 

Row8: (Color A) knit across 

Row9: (Color B) knit across 

Row10: (Color B) K4, P29, K4
That's all for today!   See you tomorrow ~
happy halloween and happy knitting,
: )

Oct 16th KAL Day 1

Hi all, this is our 2nd KAL for October. It is a picture cloth this
time. Orange, one or tan is recommended but you can use
whatever color you like. Here are our Guidelines:

Everyday rows will be sent via an email, I will be "Replying" to this
email so all of the rows will be on one email at the end of the KAL.

Use our KAL Blog if you don't see the rows. If you are a "Special
Notice" member, you will need to get your rows for day 2 through final from our blog or checking our site for the "updated" emails. Yahoo doesn't provide for "reply" messages to be sent to the Special Notice members.

If you need help, check www.knittinghelp.com for any
assistance or write an email to the group for help.

For day 1 and day 2, I will post a photo of those days rows on our KAL
Blog for those who want to see if they are progressing correctly.

Using Lifelines will help with any project. If you aren't sure what
that is, there is plenty of info on the Internet about it but it is
basically where you put thread or thin yarn through a row already
worked, designing that all the rows to that point are error free. You
should document what row you put the lifeline in so you have a point of
reference. If you make any error after that point, you know you are OK
with the previous rows anyway.

I will also be sending this email to our other group on Google.

 
Cotton yarn – suggested:  orange, white, tan (solid color)
Size 7 (US) = 4.5 mm needles

Cast on 36 stitches

Row 1:  knit across
Row 2:  knit across
Row 3:  knit across
Row 4:  knit across
Row 5:  K3, P30, K3
Row 6:  knit across

Row 7:  K3, P30, K3
Row 8:  Knit across
Row 9:   K3, P9, K12, P9, K3
Row 10: K11, P2, K10, P2, K11
