But missing some sweet shawl KALs really rankles. So I signed up for two recently and have really lucked out on the first one so far. I am in Secret of the Stole II (SOTSII) and loving it. Clue One was an easy, one sitting, almost mindless, pleasant knit. I had been working with the yarn and needle combo recently so I did not swatch but dived right in. What fun. Knitpicks Shadow in Redwood Forest on sale and from stash, Options #4 needles and my cd case to contain the yarn. Happy knitter.
I also signed up for Mystic Light KAL which I believe is still open. It doesn't start for a while. Even if I work on it late, I will have the files this way.
Between the shawl KALs and Selbu stuff, I feel like I am knitting flotsam once again. I almost fear reading what other people are blogging lest I look down on my needles and see it there. I do have a brain in my head, you know. I just wish my hands and needles could figure that out too.

Love the cd spindle idea! I've been tossing them when empty; not anymore! From your previous post ... have you tried Alton Brown's Moo-less Chocolate pie made with tofu? It even fools tofu haters.
Love your completed hint #1! And I have to say what a ridiculously clever idea to use a cd spindle. Kudos to you!
Friday's hint is just 4 days away...
I always love learning about new KALs. Thanks for the hint!
I don'w know what it is about mystery KALs but I am easily sucked in to KAL's that involve shawls. Part of the impetus for signing up is the fear that if I don't, I can't get the pattern and what if it is a good one? I did participate in MS 2 and loved it but MS3 didn't do anything for me and I stopped and frogged it. I suppose as long as I don't mind doing that, there is nothing wrong with signing up for several different ones. One thing I don't do is critcize the designer if the pattern doesn't suit me. That's the risk you take when you sign up for that kind of thing, I think. I just signed up for the mystic light KAL thanks to you. Enjoy.
I just love KALs, my first is the secret of the stoleii, I'm behind but I like the experience and I also enrolled for mystic light (same reason as you, if I'm slow, at least I'll have the pattern)
