If you’ve ever wanted to try knitting lace … or just want some virtual companionship while you work on a project … I’m hosting a knit-a-long on my Ravelry group that runs from February 1-March 1.

Come join the fun!

The shawlette requires about 440 yards of DK (I did this one in Cascade Ultra Pima … and have done one in Plymouth’s Cleo). You can use any natural fiber (or blend) with a nice spin so that you can really see all those hearts … The directions, which you’ll receive after signing-up for the KAL, are written out row by and row as well as charted.

The “rules” are simple:

1. To be eligible for this swap, you must be a member of the By Hand, With Heart rav group and must agree to post in-progress and finished pictures of your shawlette.
2. SIGN-UPs: January 15-February 1, 2014 – once you are signed up I will send you a copy of the Knittin’ Love pattern.
3. KAL will run during the month of February, 2014
4. For all those who post a “finished” picture by March 1, 2014 at 5pm EST, there will be prizes awarded …

Here’s a full picture of the shawlette —
