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.

• Anything you make for any charity counts, doesn’t have to be knit/crochet/woven or spun. ANYthing you make for ANY charity.

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.

WIPs

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.

Earthrise, a new pattern of mine.
