SHOW NOTES
This week's FOs include Lemongrass sweater and No Purl Scarf. WIPs include Sitka Spruce, Recoleta cardigan, Vanilla socks in Koigu and Endeavour socks. We didn't have any Baubles and Bling this week, but we did draw four winners for the Charity Shawl contest! We are continuing the contest for another month, and more winners will be drawn at that time! Big thanks to those who donated prizes!
Shout Outs:
There will be no KAL/CAL this month. Instead, please consider knitting a shawl to donate to our friend Lise at Webs. Or, check through your stash of handknits to see if you have a gently used shawl to donate. Every donation allows you a chance to win prizes. The shawl drive will run through the end of September!
Sheila is also hosting a Blue Moon Fiber Arts KAL/CAL that will continue throughout the year and includes any projects made from Blue Moon Fiber Arts yarn.
