I got a lot done tonight -- 12 rows of cable-y goodness. Only 26 rows til the sleeve is done! Still a front and another sleeve, but progress is a good thing.
Anyhow, I was thinking about my stash at some point this afternoon, and I had an idea. It's a long-range planning type idea which is why this blog entry is titled "Fair Warning." Because I'm giving plenty of notice that I think we should have a really special knit-a-long beginning the First of the Year. Yup, January 1. Gives you plenty of time to plan, procure yarn, and get it together for this: On January 1, I will cast on for Icon, a Kaffe Fassett design, using the yarn in the pattern (in "Kaffe's Classics") - discontinued Rowan yarns bought on eBay.
So I hope that you'll all come forward with those insane Kaffe Fassett or Alice Starmore or whatever other impossibly complex pattern you've always wanted to do... and we'll do it together.
I'm thinking of calling it the Impossible-Along... and I hope you'll join me. And I'm giving you plenty of time to figure out what your impossible dream will be!

Can I join too?

Posted by: Jon at September 7, 2004 11:59 AMThe Impossible-Along sounds like a great idea. I'm up for it, as soon as I figure out what I'd want to do...
Posted by: Jayme at September 8, 2004 12:49 AMOkay. I've decided to start a knitblog and put my knitting projects out there. I've lurked for about 6 months and it's time to come out of the knitting closet.
I'll be joining the Impossible-Along and work on the Fair Isle Vest from School House Press. You can see it here http://schoolhousepress.com/Kits/Fair_Isle_Vest/fair_isle_vest.html
What am I thinking? It should be fun.
