The Spring Festival Season is finally over! This week's WIPs include the Mystik Spiral Socks, another Star Leaves shawl and the Brush Creek Cowlette. FOs include Trillian and a Bias3 scarf. Whirlwind Romance project is a BFL from Spunky Eclectic. No featured baubles and bling, but lots of random talk about everything.
SHOW NOTES
KAL/CAL: We are hosting a Stash Busting KAL/CAL for the month of May. Post a pic of your finished project made from yarn purchased at least 6 months ago in the May Stash Busters Thread and get that stash under control! A winner will be drawn next week.
We are also hosting a Sock KAL/CAL. You choose the pattern. If you use yarn purchased at least 6 months ago, you can enter your sock in both contests! A winner will be drawn at the end of June (we decided to make it a two month KAL).
We will be giving away a copy of the Yvonne's Wings pattern by Kimberly Gintar. Post in the contest thread in our group. A winner will be drawn next week.
If you are interested in trying out one of the three fibers Wendy reviewed from Louet, post in the fiber threads in the group. I will draw names next week.
