It's been too long since I have updated here. The 5th annual Atlanta Shop Hop will begin on Sept. 17th and go through Sept. 25th. Passports ($1.00) go on sale this Saturday, August 27th. Purchase a passport, visit as many shops as possible, and maybe win a fantastic prize. See http://www.shophopatlanta.blogspot.com/ for more information and a list of participating shops and their hours.
Here is a photo of our next knitalong. It's called A-HA by Holly Chayes. It is knit in sock weight on size 5 needles and requires about 1400 yards of yarn. Recommended yarn is Mini Mochi. I have started mine in Jojoland Rhythm. It needs a yarn that has long color floats, not one that changes frequently. The pattern costs $6.00 and you can download it from http://www.tangledness.com/. Wednesday is the day we will meet. One group meets in the afternoon on the first Wednesday of the month from 1-2PM. We will also work on this at our regular knit nite every Wednesday from 5-8PM, so you can join us for either time or both. Everyone who has seen this pattern oohs and aahs over it so maybe you would like it too. Here is a photo of the one I started last night.
See what I mean by the long floats of color? It needs this to form an eye-pleasing color formation. Pattern is super easy, all written out, no charts.
So get yourself a copy and come by next Wednesday to select your yarn. We will be working on this for several months as it is a rather large piece. We don't put any time limit on our knitalongs, everyone works at their own speed. I haven't even started the last design we chose. Come have some fun.

My sister has founded the Knitting Club at Duluth High School. As a sixth year high school Math teacher, she has learned that it is not only essential to enrich the minds of students through academics, but also through life long skills. An avid knitter herself, she knows that by giving young adults the gift of knitting she can help to develop character traits in her students that will last a lifetime.
