Cosmic Connections

Thank you to everyone who visited and shopped online yesterday and today. We’ve had a great few days celebrating our birthday with more days to go.

It’s almost time for Lisa K. Ross’s MKAL.

“Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.” – A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 

Are you ready to take your knitting experience out of this world?! We are headed over the moon with this mystery knit that was designed to be unlike anything you’ve found on Earth! This opulent wrap takes inspiration from stars, galaxies, outer space, and everything else the universe has to offer. The knitalong fun will take place on Ravelry and Instagram. Click here to share your colors, ask your questions, and connect with other knitters all over the world. It’s time to reach for the stars! 

What to expect:

• unique construction
• lace
• bias knitting
• cables
• slipped stitches
• color changes

All techniques with charts will also include written instructions. I’ve created tutorial videos to guide you through any new techniques. There will NOT be any stranded colorwork or brioche. This design is intended for intermediate knitters, but my patterns and tutorials are designed to guide adventurous beginner skills to the next level. The best part of a KAL… there will be lots of helpful knitters to keep you from getting lost in space! 

Finished dimensions:

Each includes two skeins of the main color in Practically Perfect Sock and one Practically Perfect Half in each of the seven coordinating colors.

The family is having a good time at the cottage. I had a nice nap after work and now I’m going to sit and knit for a bit.
