Two New Kals - Knit Along's for our Group

The last couple times the Odd Ball group met up, there was much speculation over a couple new patterns in Love Of Knitting Magazine that could become KAL's for the knitting class.  This very cool Bolero is SIMPLE and in the latest magazine at the shop.   I wish I had a image of the back because its really nicely done and stylish.

Basic Bolero Designed by Barbara Condon & Kathleen England of Glenfiddich Wool

Classic shaping and inset sleeves form the foundation of this wonderful and cozy cardigan. Simple ribbing along the back of this sweater cleverly creates flattering shaping, and the ribbing continues along the sides to create a graceful collar for a stylish finish.

Also in the same Holiday issue a bunch of us knit up this Cowl!  I LOVE mine, everyone else LOVES theirs and I imagine more will be made for next year.   Most of us did it in winter cream white, but some did colors, and most of us did more than one as it knit up in two evenings on big needles!  Anyway, I knit mine up and wore it to a class, everyone went nuts for it, and the magazine issue sold out along with all the cream white yarn!
