Invitation for a KAL for the Hemlock Ring

[DudeWithSticks]

Alright count me in! I have my yarn & am finishing off my baby blanket so I'm ready when you are.

That's great and welcome to our little KAL. I'll be ready next week to actually start, but by all means please start without me. And I am sure we'll be there knitting all together at somepoint.

looks pretty good. Seems a shame to just rip it out. could you not just make it into a cushion cover or something. Are you using the Eco wool, is that equivalent to UK aran or chunky?

I know Karina,
It's actually a DK weight wool, and I was using US size 8 needles. I actually didn't have any solid yarn to experiment with, so I used some of the yarn from the scarf that I am knitting. LOL So, I wouldn't have enough anyway.
I am looking at this as a swatch and to see if I could actually do it. So, seriously, if I can do this. "ANYONE" can do this!

I'm in. I just ordered the yarn a few days ago, so it should be here soon. I've got lots of birthdays coming and will be knitting other projects along with this one, but slow and steady wins the race right? Looking forward to getting started!

Sounds great KM and welcome. I am so glad that we are having more people joining our KAL. I should have my yarn by next week as well and looking forward to start as well.
And yes, slow and steady does, mostly. :D

Well, my photography leaves alot to be desired but here's mine so far. This is done on size #6 needles with Cream TLC Cotton Plus.... Round 42 complete:

Mary, that looks great! And you're photographing white, one of the hardest things to photograph and get detail. Can't wait to start mine soon!

I highly recommend to anyone joining in on the KAL to put in lifelines... It is a fairly intricate pattern and I had to tink back, once on the 35th round. I have reached and placed a lifeline on round #46, which is a knit round just before a stitch pattern round. Once you reach this point, after the 47th round, there will be knit rounds for 4 rounds and then another stitch pattern row. Just a suggestion!

ok, this may be REALLY obvious... but to a person who likes to think things through before they do it... how do you put a lifeline in?!!!

:S

Lol! Thanks Lisa... that answers so many questions, and i'm kicking myself even harder after this weekend's misadventures whilst watching a film and attempting to finish off a couple of rows of lacework...

No more!!! I think lifelines are going to be a huge part of my knitting from now on!!!!

Thanks again!

Your Welcome! I've been watching this thread and trying to figure out if I want to add one more project to my list. I love the pattern though. I just need to finish up a few things first.
