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.

  1. Yarn to be purchased at the Needle Emporium. Any purchase from today (Monday June 26th, 2023) qualifies. If you order online then we have you in the system. If you purchase in the store, please make sure that we take your email address.
  2. The yarn can be any fingering weight yarn and we ask you purchase enough for the sweater. Please leave a note with your order that you are joining the KAL.
