Summer Knit A Long
I'm ready to announce our Summer Superlatives Knit a long! The KAL will run from June 1 - September 1.
I want to keep this KAL as simple as possible, but I think it will be a fun way to keep posted on what everyone is knitting this summer! I will create threads in the Ravelry group for different categories, and choose winners from each for you to post in. So far I'm thinking about the following categories
Best use of Stash
Best Yarn Acquisition
Best Use of Sponsor Yarn
Best Knitting on the Road
Best in Class
WIPs will count and double dipping is allowed!
Each post in Ravelry or photo tagged #kapsummerkal will count for one entry
I'll create a chat thread now, if you have ideas for more categories, post them there!
Prizes and sponsors will be announced soon! A BIG Thank you to Shaina Scott for her generous donation of patterns for the KAL!
