Oh, Lonesome Me

October 4, 2006 By Carole

I’m guessing that most of you who read my blog also read Susan’s blog. But in case you don’t, you might have missed the fact that Susan and I have started a Yahoo Group together.

Introducing:

lonesome_skein_web.jpg

The Lonesome Skein Knitalong is designed to help you use up those solitary skeins of yarn you have hanging. We are suggesting that you use them to make quick and easy projects for holiday and charity giving. There are links for patterns and the emails and introductions are flowing.

You can read all about the group by clicking on the picture up there but you need to hurry because sign ups close on October 16th.

Hope you’ll join us!

    I don’t do Christmas Knitting and rarely do small projects. But it’s a GREAT idea!

    Hey, that picture looks like it came from my house (although they are probably too many trees for it to actually be my house). Great idea. I’m going to have to think about this one.

  14. Kelly says

    Oh, what a good idea! I’ll just sit here and admire all your clever ideas as I’m on a KAL moratorium until I actually K, you know, AL and not eons after the fact.

  21. Rachel says

    October 5, 2006 at 9:25 am
