KAL’s/Giveaways

Currently we only have the Seasons sock club running with its corresponding KAL. I will be drawing winners from the KAL once the club is finished.

SAL/KAL
I was thinking of hosting a Spinalong/Knitalong starting in April – Idea being that we spend a few months spinning the yarn for a project and then a few months knitting the project we spun for? If your not a spinner you can take part in the knitting portion of the along but you will need to use handspun to enter.

Sweater KAL?
I’m planning lots of sweater designs for this year and I wandered if you guys would be interested in knitting sweaters with me (obviously it wont be the same designs :P) … let me know if you want it to be an open generic sweater KAL or if you think I should do a Knitting Expat Designs specific sweater KAL?
