Welcome!

Welcome to anyone that is viewing this blog!  This is the first post introducing what we hope will be a fun experience in knitting - the KnitPicks Palette Fair Isle Cardigan Knitalong!  It's a long name but there's nothing we could do about it - KnitPicks named the pattern!  No need for comments about our lack of inspiration for a clever shorter name!  hehe

With this blog we hope to centralize information supporting the KnitPicks Palette Fair Isle Cardigan pattern with tips on fair isle knitting technique, sharing of project photos and help with questions.  There will also be a posting category for pattern eratta if that's needed at some point.  Knitalong participants will receive an inviation to be a guest author for this blog so they can post photos and updates of their progress.

This blog and knitalong also welcomes anyone interested in the fair isle sock pattern that is included in the fair isle cardigan pattern booklet and the other KnitPicks seasonal stranded knitting patterns: the Winter/Snowman, Back-to-School, and Halloween vests.

Your hosts for the knitalong are Laura of Sugar Bunny Boulevard and Penny of Penny Lane.  We're excited about starting the FI cardigan knitalong and possibly branching out ourselves to knit the seasonal stranded knitting patterns as well!

Thanks for visiting!  The Knitalong officially begins on Sunday, October 1st.  We're thinking of creating a goal date to be finished knitting the Fair Isle Cardigan and possibly offering prizes if there are enough people interested in this knitalong.  But then again we might just be here alone with the clicking of our own needles like crickets in the night. 

Anybody wanna grab a button and play along?  :)
