    This appears to say that the KAL ends Feb 28th, is that right? I thought it was April 18th for some reason…

      Hi Lisa – this one is done, but I’m sure we will have another KAL soon!

    Thanks for all your enthusiasm and encouragement for knitting! I’ve been knitting for decades, but remain kinda sloppy and painfully slow. Thus, l stick to very simple projects. A big stretch for me right now is the Flax Sweater – for my husband. Let’s see if l can finish this by NEXT winter! If you have helpful hints for increasing speed, l’d love to hear them. PS: l knit continental style, prefer bamboo needles, love tight twist merino yarn.

    I’ve got many of your patterns, but really struggling with getting them done in fingering yarn. Thats is what is available easily to me here. Any advice would be appreciated. Thks

    Thanks for letting us know that the donations are ending soon. Am off to purchase the book…and the ‘to knit’ list grows ever-longer.

    Also, since the Ravellenic Games start in early Feb, some of us could knit a Heart On My Sleeve sweater as our Games project. Would that work?
