Hi Ruthie

KAL is a knit-along. We all work on the same project at the same time.

For example, this month we are knitting toys for the month of July.

There are several knit-alongs in the forum. Just do a search for KAL, and you'll find them.

Some people are making the Sahara top, others are making a Harry Potter scarf, others are making socks. There are plenty of options. Have fun looking!

Plural for KAL which is a Knit A Long - where people work on the same project, sometimes at the same time, or can join in anytime.

OTN
Is that ON the Needle? meaning current projects?

This is a great site!

Shandeh · 10-17-2008, 03:18 AM

Correct!
OTN = On The Needles

Right now, I have about 25 projects on the needles.

We also call them UFOs...(unfinished objects)

OK, I just read this entire thread in order to find out what "DPH" means (saw it in another thread) and didn't find it...any help?

Shandeh · 11-16-2008, 03:50 AM

hmmm....never heard of DPH.

I've heard of DPN, though. That's double-pointed needles.

I'm using dpns right now on a mitten.

This one's been bugging me, too! Thank you so much for explaining!

Might have been a typo the "H" and the "N" are diagonal on a QWERTY keyboard. I think it was probably supposed to be DPNs like Shandeh said. What was the topic of the thread and or message?
