Next Meeting: Sunday, April 26th. 1-3pm
Hey all!
It was fun to see everyone on Sunday! We've had some people make some major progress. The colors that have been chosen for this KAL are outstanding. I honestly didn't see some people's vision on color, but now that they're knitting the shawl up, everything is coming out stunning! Good job everyone on color choices!
If you're still struggling with each of the sections, don't you worry you're not the only ones! Keeping your stitch count right has tuned out to be a common issue! So, if you're still struggling a bit, you're not the only one!
There's a link on facebook from the official KAL facebook page (Malabrigo KAL) where you can find a pdf of each row individually written up so you don't have to keep flipping pages to go from one section to another.
This is the one that everyone is saying is the most comprehensive.
And here's all the files for the KAL
If you're struggling, no worries, you can come into the shop for help or also check all the Malabrigo resources.
