So, what will be the "official" vote? Facebook Poll or Survey Monkey. If we already did the Facebook Poll, should we do Survey Monkey?

Both will be official and I'll merge the votes from here, Survey Monkey, the blog comments, and Facebook. Eek! Next time we'll have just one voting option.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.  I don't know if the comment I attempted to make posted or not so I am voting here fore the Clementine Shawlette.  I need a smaller project this time around.

If anyone here is still working on the Seaweed Cardigan, I wanted to check in - I finally finished my Cardi!   I'm SOOOOO excited!  I wore it to church and told everyone that I made it, and got lots of complements.  You actually cannot tell it is homemade (except it is BETTER than store-bought, of course).  I am very proud!

I'll post a picture when I get someone to take one...

Thanks, ladies, for all your support, and to Kathleen for the knit-along.

Congratulations!  I am still working on it, and hope to end it by the time we begin the next one.  

Look forward to your pics.

Fantastic!  Can't wait to see the pic.  I'm still working on  my.  I am WAYYYYY behind, and won't be taking part in the next KAL.  I just can't seem to get a lot of time to work on it these days.  Anway, I hope to finish the back by this weekend (see how far behind I am?) and get casted on for the fronts.  I've decided to just to both fronts at the same time.  I will block the back while knitting the fronts too.  Hopefully that will save some time later.  

Happily knitting along,

Karen in Indiana - Congratulations - look forward to a picture.  I'm not finished yet either but it is progressing - I had several projects I had to do at the same time so am behind but am anxious to get the cardi completed.  I may not do the next KAL but still always like to follow along.

Happy knitting - the KALs are a lot of fun and such great knitting buddies!!!

I finished the back yesterday and casted on the for the fronts, opting to do them both at the same time.  The sleeves look funny in the pics because of the stitch holders.  Loving the lace pattern in the cardi!  Oh, I should mention that it isn't blocked yet either.  :)

It's beautiful, I love the color.  I also see a beautiful quilt in the background.  This is something also that I am very much interested in.  Have 3 in the making at the present time.  thanks for sharing!

Gosh this sure looks like FUN!!  I've just finished reading your posts and I definitely want to investigate the next KAL. I can't seem to find a thread where you determined what patterns you were voting for and which wins. Also, when does the next KAL start?

Thanks,

julie

Hayley,

Thanks for the link! I must have overlooked it, much like my knitting stitiches.  I'm going to KAL no matter what, as I think this is a great way to learn and have fun at the same time.  I'm rooting for the Lace Saddle Tee!

Get ready to swatch!!
