These are the three BLOG Knit-Along groups I am participating in right now. I decided I wanted to do cables, so I thought the Irish Hiking Scarf would be the place to begin. I am making progress daily on it and really enjoy doing the cables. http://irishhikingknitalong.blogspot.com/ -- - - - - - - - - -

I bought the One Skein book, joined the One Skein Secret Pal Exchange. It started in June. I have sent my packages to my downstream "Pal" in California. I really enjoyed shopping for her for both packages and enjoy communicating with her so much. I am working on my August gift to her. I started it when I was in Austria in June/July. It is a challenge, I had to frog it several times, but I think it will turn out really nice. I have also heard from my upstream "pal" and will be recieving a skein of yarn from her soon. Both ladies are really enjoyable to talk with and I am so glad I joined this challenge. http://oneskein.blogspot.com- - - - - - - --- - - - -

I joined the Year of the Sweater to keep me motivated and making sweaters this year. I have two on the needles right now. One is a Lilly Chin designed sweater that I am knitting out of two yarns that I have combined to get the look and feel that I wanted. The other is a Japanese Kimono style sweater that I am doing from Moonlight Mohair. Talk about soft! http://yearofthesweater.blogspot.com- - - - - - - - -
