My first MKAL, and it's 100% local!

This link is to the local-ish yarn dyers whose yarn I'll be using for my first KAL, or 'knit-a-long' for those who aren't familiar with knitter acronyms. The fun of a KAL, especially this, an MKAL (mystery knit along), is that you don't know what it's going to look like at the end. You get clues along the way and knit it as it goes, hence the name.

Midwinter Moon MKAL

I'm using super vivid colorways, too, though I only have 2 of the necessary 3 skeins so far. I've happened to purchase 2 skeins (at different times) of the actual yarn weight recommended and in the kits, and honestly didn't know what I was going to make with them, so this is serendipitous to the max! Shown in the photo are the colorway "Orange Crush" (wound up) and a special fund raiser colorway, "If I Want Exposure, I'll Get My Tits Out" still in skein form.

As an aside, in doing this picture, I discovered that my website was suspended due to me not having updated my credit card expiration date. So I suppose this is all fortuitous!! Sorry for the ads on tinypic. Once my site is back up, I'll upload the picture there. :P All fixed!

I really need to get back into knitting. Hopefully, my interment in a hotel for a couple weeks coming up will spark the flame I need. I'm only packing like 4 projects to bring with me, like I won't be staring at a baby all the time....
