~another Myla's Knit Corner KAL

   for this one we will be working the Wonder shawl. It will be a 3 month KAL, unless you believe it needs to be long. And Myla is helping us to save money by giving us a discount on the pattern if you use the code KIM at checkout. She is also going to donate one of her patterns to the first person chosen at the end of the KAL. Let's support this great designer and share our love. BTW this can also count as a FO KAL and Knitting for others (if it is made for someone else).

Questions for Me

 I’d be interested to hear what your record is. 

The throwback sweater is really very good, beautifully made. Is there any chance you will do modelled photographs when it’s completed? 

my favourite colours are blue. I’m very much into tonal yarns

 plain yarn for socks so I can knit patterned socks.
