For the month of February I'm co-hosting a knit-along or KAL with Morag of Vintage Purls, and I hope you'll come join in! If you haven't been part of a knit-along before, the idea is that a group of people knit similar-themed projects, and chat and post photos for the others to admire.
The Purls KAL is one of the monthly knit-alongs held in the Ravelry group Budding Designers Downunder.
The theme of the Purls KAL is knitting any of my designs in Vintage Purls yarn. I'm offering a 25% discount on all of my self-published patterns and pattern collections during the first week of the KAL, using the Ravelry coupon code ALLTHEPURLS. You've still got until the end of Sunday to take advantage of the pattern sale. :)
Full details are in the KAL thread on Ravelry: February 2016 Purls KAL: Baroque Purls + Vintage Purls.
In case you've been wondering, yes there are prizes! Really cool ones too, if I do say so myself. Check them out:
2 Skeins of VP Sock in “Silver Arrow” + “High and Mighty”
2 skeins of VP Max in "A Handful of Silver” + “Man From the Sea”
A notions pouch (or pencil case) by Belinda Piper
A set of stitch markers by Marmalade Scarf + a small pouch (or coin purse)
Aren't they pretty?
And for some pattern inspiration, below are some of my designs using Vintage Purls yarns. They're definitely among my favourites, with their subtle, rich colours and great stitch definition (links are to Ravelry pattern pages):
Quite a few knitters have already joined in and posted yarn-photos and work-in-progress photos. It's going to be a fun month! :)
