KAL - Knit Alongs

Oh! My Gosh! I have discovered another new thing about knitting today. It is also for crocheters. Have you ever heard of the word KAL or CAL? and I am not talking about the University. Recently someone posted information about a KAL which is an anacronym for Knit Along and CAL which is an anacronym for Crochet Along. I had to check it out. It is an online group that knits the same thing together and shares progress and ideas and information with each other about the item.

So as you all know I can not just do it small... I decided to join my first KAL which was AibhlinnKAL ยท Aibhlinn Knit Along Aibhlinn from knitty.com's Winter 2004 issue. A swirling spiral that is part hood, part cowl, Aibhlinn (pronounced Ah-veh-lehn) is suitable for walking on a cool day or running earns. Come check out Aibhlinn KAL 2005.

Like I said I got started and now I can't stop... LOL After I did this I found out that there are lots of KAL/CAL's and you can make one thing that works for several KAL/CAL's at once. Like what I am making. I am making the Aibhlinn in Bernat Cottontots - Pretty In Pink which I found out there is a KAL group for Think Pink which is a KAL for individuals who love Pink... No pattern specific just for those of you who enjoy pink. These are for all level of knitters/crocheters.

Please do not blame me if you become seriously addicted to KAL /CAL's.
