I cast my Tee on yesterday and made it to the colourwork before bed.

I’m using Practically Perfect Sock Cally Girl with Absolute Zero Dyed in the Wool. My skeins of Absolute Zero are brighter than most of the skeins. I have enough of this colour for one more sweater. If you want these skeins please email me so I can put them away for you. I will email you an invoice.

Here are the guidelines. We will send each person who qualifies a 20% off coupon code for a future purchase when the KAL ends.
