Hi all,
I have knitted about 15 rows of a swatch, is that enough? I'm using Good Old Cascade 220, since I had 12 skeins in Mystic (a lovely purple) and only needed to buy the Natural (which I bought today). I can probably wait until Feb 1 to cast on, but I'm not guaranteeing it! I'm jazzed about this!
Maybe I'll make my swatch bigger to kill time. Or, I could cast on and just lie to you guys and pretend I didn't. Ah, the beauty of the internets (sic).
Ready, Set....... (wait for it!)

16 brave folks...
have signed up. There are 10 outstanding invites.
No one has rushed to suggest a starting date ;o so I will get it going:
How about Feb 1st as a start date? For those so inclined.
and now, someone give me a realistic finish date - before first sessions of Camp? or what? (I am not participating in the knitting at this date - just providing geek expertise)
Its your KAL. Let us know what you want to do.

Getting started?
Wow - as of today 13 folks have replied to the invites and joined up! And there are about 8 more invites waiting for responses.
So a few things to throw out:
1. Starting Date
Do you want to pick one?
2. Ending Date (optional)
Do you want to pick one- with the provision that any one can continue on?
3. Project info
As you figure out what you are going to do - write a post and let us about it. Posting is really easy with the new blogger - and adding photos is even easier! Email me if you need help!
4. Posts
When you write your post there is a little box "Labels for this post" . You can use this to "categorize" your post - and then others can read thru them if they are looking for help or whatever.
For example, if you have a special tip, why not put "tip" in there; or special technique - "technique".
Can't wait to read about all the sweaters and wool/color choices!

Welcome!
This is a new KAL for anyone who would like to work a Knit Along (KAL) for Meg Swansen's Russian Prime Sweater. It was suggested in an email from Amy Detjen and others were interested so here we are!
The Russian Prime was designed by Meg Swansen and is found in her book, Meg Swansen's Knitting starting on page 36.
Quoting from the description on page 37:
This circular garment is constructed along the lines of a classic Norwegian dropped-shoulder sweater, with a few added details. "
Availablity of instructions as per Meg :
- The original Wool Gathering was #49 (Sept '93) (Out of Print)
- A VHS video was made with insert-instructions and charts. (Out of stock?)
- The book, Meg Swansen's Knitting, published by Interweave Press. Alert: IP has dumped the book and Schoolhouse Press may have the only remaining copies.
- A new DVD version of the video (with insert instructions and charts) (ETA by early March)
To join the KAL and be able to post to this blog, please send an email.
Looking forward to lively discussions, lots of photos and great sweaters!
