Let's get something straight. I suck at knit-alongs; everyone is always faster than me and I hate knitting on a dealine; even an open ended one. So when Kate, from Lazy Kate Creates, proposed the idea of not only a KAL, but a lace KAL, I was dead set on not participating.

But then she kept posting about it and more and more knitters started joining up. I totally caved to the peer pressure and for a good reason; for this KAL there are no rules! That's right, none. You can knit nekkid in the street if you like (not that I advise such a thing).
The Adventures in Lace KAL starts tomorrow on February 1st; we even have our very own Ravelry group and Flickr pool; we are that cool. In keeping with the 'no rules' fun, my project will be my Ravelympics project, so I will cast on February 12th. Crap; where did January go?
Join us won't ya? I can't wait to cast on and see what everyone else is doing!
Up next; a very exciting Super {flea} Sunday!

nekked in the street?! I quite like the sound of that- if the temperature would cooperate just a little bit. Oh, well. Wouldn't that be a great first rule?
1. nekked in the street.
2. knit vigorously.
3. WAit! not too vigorously.
Thanks so much for posting about the KAL- this is going to be so much fun!
This is so much fun!
But I think I'll just learn to knit in February.
Totally diggin' those socks right now. It's FREEZING in WI and I'd really love to be snuggled up with those on!
Roxanne, I can almost Guarantee that you will get done with your project before me. I'm still knitting sock number one that I started two weeks ago. Having to put it aside to start with my stole for the KAL. I am SLOW! Oh, and I found out today that I have been doing the knit stitch totally wrong all of these years when I went to figure out how knitting through the back was any different from what I was already doing! Knitting incorrectly all of these years!
I love that scarf! I wish I was more of a scarf person because I think they are great!
