Happy Sunday Saturday! I received enough feedback that you peeps would like a finish it up KAL/CAL. So I figured I would pop in here and do a little post about it.
It is official. We will be knitting or crocheting along, as a way to help each other wittle away on some of the many projects we have on the needles. You can have only one if you like. It is a no pressure, no stress KAL/CAL. Join if you like or just be an cheerleader, it's our world and we can do what we like.
A group has been started on Ravelry. Here are some of the basic rules:
The KAL/CAL will run from July 20th through September 30th.
As an added incentive there will be prizes!
Rules:
-
Projects need to be started by 08/01/2013 and cannot have been completed before this group opened on 07/20/2013
-
Finish as many as you like.
-
Each finished project will earn you
one entry into the prize drawing. -
All projects must be tagged: getitdone2013
-
Must be a member of group to be eligible for prizes
-
Must play nice.
Did I mention prizes? Well you lovely people, I went shopping through my obese stash, and other places and here is what we have so far. Of course the amount of prizes may increase depending on my mood or stash enhancements.
I will post about the KAL/CAL every Thursday as a way to keep my Sunday posts seperate. There may be people out there that would rather not be reading about a KAL/CAL that they are not participating in.
If you don't want to participate but would like to see all the fantastic works in progress and finished objects, you can still join the group. And the KAL/CAL is open for everyone in the world to join.
Have fun and knit happy!
XO
Andi
P.S I also opened a thread in the group for Cheerleaders to provide tips or tricks on how to get stuff finished. :)
thanks for getting us started, Andi ~ I'm already having fun and gettingitdone2013 :)

Ok, I am so joining, that yarn is scrumptious :) And I have a couple projects I can very easily work on with everyone! I'm excited now!

Great idea! I'm in!

Too bad I just finished 3 projects! :) That's okay, there is one on the needles and I think I'll also cast on for one item. Not that I don't have plenty of stuff that needs to be finished but.... shhhh. :)

This sounds so fun Andi! How about monogamous knitters? I only have one project on the needles (a huge one though). I think I can't really enter in this KAL. If only I was a PK (polygamous knitter) :D

Sign me up woman! I'm in the middle of a KAL but I have two projects that are currently hibernating that I would love to finish.

I'm in!

I'm in. Although I can't share the thing I'm working on until the book is out, the project is finally moving ahead.

I do have something lurking in a bag that has not been attended to for a long long time. The time is now and I am in. Will sign myself up. Thanks for organising this. It is my first KAL.

I joined the group! I'm looking forward to getting rid of some WIPs!
Posted by: Casey | 07/22/2013 at 03:03 PM
I'm really excited. In my backwards way, I'm planning on casting on new things to add to the WIP list, ha!
