KH Monthly Challenge--February

[Hildegard_von_Knittin]

........screeeeeeeecchhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hildie takes the corner on 2 wheels as she arrives fashionably late


Sheesh here it is 5 hours before february FOURTH and I haven't posted the challenge :oops:


Uhmmm..... February's challenge is join a KAL that is already going :-)

[Jan in CA]

Well heck...I'm still working on Januarys! And the chemo kid KAL and the sweater KAL.... and the KO... :shock:

[Ingrid]

Considering the Year of the Sweater participation, and the knitting olympics, I'd say you're off the hook for February, don't you think?

[Jan in CA]

Umm..yeah I think I'll ditch this one. I think I'm "almost" old enough for a senior ditch day, no? :roflhard: :roflhard: I mean for joining another one.. LOL

[Jenelle]

Hm, I thought February would have been something like "knit something for someone close to your heart, or how ever many people you love"

I think everyone has this one done :rofling:

[nicolethegeek]

Hmm... since I started the KOKAL thread, does that still count as joining one? :thinking: ;)

BTW Hildie... don't worry about being late posting this months KAL. I looked for it on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd... and then didn't find it until today! :oops:

well it was going to be, but i figured so many were already goling I should encourage us to finish those before starting something new :-)

[Jenelle]

Ahh okay. :)

Have you thought of what next months should be yet?

[Hildegard_von_Knittin]

noope, any ideas?

[Jenelle]

I remember January's was a stash buster right?? Maybe a finish all your current projects before starting new ones??? :??

Orr make a green project for saint patty's day?

Which one do you like better?

[NinaT]

There's a shamrock double knitting pattern on about.com http://knitting.about.com/library/blshamrock.htm This could be a new technique for some. I did the heart one for February and it was really fun!

[Hildegard_von_Knittin]

what about "knit while drinking beer" for st. paddy's day :-)

[Andrea]

what about "knit while drinking beer" for st. paddy's day :-)

Now you're talking!!! :cheering:
Except I already do that every month... :rollseyes:

[CateKnits]

I'd love to, Hildie! But I think Andrea would frown on my participating. :P :roflhard:

[Andrea]

I'd love to, Hildie! But I think Andrea would frown on my participating. :P :roflhard:

:roflhard: When do you become legal??

[CateKnits]

I turned 19 in November. I won't be legal until 1/3 through my fourth year of college!

[Andrea]

:crying: Oh boy!!

ETA: I can't get over how mature you are! You seem so much older tham 19 ;)

[CateKnits]

That's because you've never seen me in pigtails! :roflhard: :D

[humblestumble]

Hilde :shock: No way... :fingerwag:

[NinaT]

Though I do like Hilde's plan I think perhaps we need to come up with something a little more acceptable for all ages!! ;) What about something Aran? Maybe a hat with some fun cables in a fisherman style wool? This will be my first KAL and I'm up for whatever you decide!

[Jenelle]

Hilde that would be so unfair! :(

I still have.... 8 years until it's legal for me to drink!! :(

[feministmama]

How about something for Black History Month? Something in Kinte colors? :thinking:

[Hildegard_von_Knittin]

FM, I was thinking of that for February. (February is black history month right??? That's when we do our big program at school, so I hope so!)

Okay, no drinking while knitting. Knit something green?

[Hildegard_von_Knittin]

oops, sorry nina I didn't see your post! I like that idea too! I was goin to save cables for september, since that's when the first cable car ran :-) But it would still work for march

maybe some kind of celtic knot???

[NinaT]

Oooh I like that!!

[NinaT]

I know this isn't a free pattern but it sure is cute! I really want some other patterns from this site.

feministmama -

even if we don't do somethign for a black history month KAL...do you know of any good kente-like or other patterns along those lines.

I would be interested to put something like this on my "to knit" list...

[NinaT]

OK now, no pressure but tomorrow is March 1!!! Now I have never joined one of the monthly KALs so I'm not sure if it's critical to start right on the 1st. I'm just excited! :cheering: Any decisions?
