In the category of WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TO DO-

Malabrigo Yarns is doing a KAL with Dos Tierras Yarn and we are in on it!! The pattern is a free ravelry download by Joji Locatelli called ODYSSEY!

THE SCHEDULED START DAY IS APRIL 1ST!    We are going to meet on Sat. April 4th at 10 am.  I am asking that you have the first portion ( a lot of garter) finished by then. We just got in lots of colors , including the 3 new colors I am using in my sample!

here is mine so far…

If you haven’t knit with this yarn before , you are in for a real treat!  It is a 50/50 split of Merino and Baby Alpaca.  You will need 1 skein each of 3 colors.  I am using a size 8 needle as recommended by Malabrigo.  The needle in the pattern will result in you not having enough yarn in your first section. If you are a loose knitter, I recommend a size 7 needle, but let me check your work before you get too far.   I also like the tighter look of the size 8.  I think it shows the pattern detail better.

*OVERNIGHTER- APRIL 4- 7:30-?? COST- $20.plus a snack to share! I.  Will get the pizza and drinks!
