A note on showlinks – all links to Ravelry are clearly labelled as such and all links for yarn are directly to the dyer’s website.
Be A Helper Craftalong
One month to go!
6th Be A Helper Craft-a-long has begun! We keep the rules simple.
One change this year – due to ongoing accessibility issues on Ravelery, I’ll hold this event both on and off Ravelry. Last year we just used a Google Form and that was hard for some folks, so this year there will be a chat thread and an FO thread on Rav, and for non-Rav users I’ll have a google form where you can link to your IG/FB/Twitter post showing your FO.

Prizes
A set of mini skeins from Unwind Yarn Company – especially exciting as Dana does not dye anymore.
Jen Lassonde of Downcellar Studio has very generously offered one of her patterns and a skein of yarn, thank you Jen!
FOs
Knights Who Say Knit by Mary Annarella of Lyrical Knits, a really fun Monty Python and the Holy Grail inspired pattern. The knitting is done but I have about 100 ends to weave in.

Recalibrate Top by Shana Lines using Nomad Yarn’s hand dyed cotton/rayon Gelato yarn. I’m half way through the back panel in the yellow Gelato.
