Can you believe it--the Summer in the City KAL starts in just TWO DAYS! Need a quick refresher on the rules and details? Here's the rundown:

I'm hoping to knit 3 projects during the KAL--well, ok, I'm planning to start 3 projects for the KAL. Finishing will be a challenge--I've been plugging away at WIPs trying to start with a clean(ish) slate! Here's my yarn:
I'm planning a Charm City shawlette (the green), bright stripey Eutaw Street socks (the yellow/gray/pink) and a quick Admiral Fell hat (the orange/yellow/red). And it's a good thing most of the yarn is already wound, because the kids managed to break my swift, and I haven't determined if it's fixable or if it will have to be replaced. Womp womp.
Looking through the chat thread, so far it looks like we have 3 other people planning to knit a shawlette, at least 1 other hat, and 1 ambitious knitter planning an Annabel Lee cardi, which I can't wait to see!
It's FINALLY feeling like summer here (84 today!), and I can't wait to get this KAL started! I hope you'll knit with us! Come on over to the chat thread and share your plans!
