>On the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of each month, I host “Out to Knit” at Mendoberri from 11:30am-1:30pm. Anyone can come – so please join us! Plus, Mendoberri offers us a 10% discount on our food for “Out to Knit.” Sweet, huh?

The Out to Knit group recently decided to do a Knit-A-Long (KAL) as a group. Because it’s hard to decide on a specific pattern – particularly because we are actually a group of knitters and crocheters, we’ve made it fairly generic by just saying that everyone is going to be making a shawl.

I have chosen and started my shawl: Sothia by Robin Ulrich. This is not a pattern that we carry in the store – although I will be looking into the possibility of that. But I couldn’t resist it.

I’m doing it out of a fabulous slowly self-striping new yarn from Crystal Palace called Sausalito for the main color and Dream in Color’s Everlasting Sock for the contrasting color. (Wish I had the in progress piece here to take a photo; maybe next time…)

I’m not sure what everyone else is making yet, but I will take my camera to next week’s Out to Knit so I can make sure and show off our work!
