I am nowhere near finishing my shawl. During the course of starting it until now, I've finished an argyle sock, a tank top, a scarf, started a top down raglan and a lot of spinning. I just don't think I'm a grand-scale lace knitter at this point in my life. The second socks I ever made were lace, so I'm capable of doing it in small doses. That's what the yarn I dyed is going to end up being anyway, some socks. Just not in time for the end of this KAL. Oh well.
In addition to not finishing the shawl, I haven't finished the book either! Eep. 0 for 2 thus far.
So I've been thinking of putting together a sort of Avalon All Year Long Knit Along (okay, I just LOVE how that sounds when you say it.) for the other people who might be in my predicament, and new people who want to join. Any thoughts?
I am pleased to see beautiful finished objects around here, though! You've all been working very hard.
The blog to read, re-read, enjoy and craft from the Arthurian based story, The Mists of Avalon. Whether it's your first time diving into this rich, textured novel or your twentieth, let your imagination run wild! Lace shawls, long tunics, felted sheath for your sword perhaps? There is no limit to what you might craft and discuss! To participate email Em at knitter.natter@yahoo.com. Sign-up ends Monday, March 5th.

Girlfriend, I think your idea of a year-round KAL is fabulous! I would definitely stick around for it! Maybe continue the series, or at least the dark ages/medieval theme? Don't be too hard on yourself for not finishing. It's the journey that counts, right? :)I haven't finished yet either, so you're not alone!
I love the idea of continuing this KAL!
I finished the poncho, but haven't gotten a photo of it yet. So, I expect to finish that part of the KAL, but haven't reread the book yet.
I joined a Harry Potter KAL before I got sucked into this. This is something I would have loved a lot more if I hadn't been doing two KALs at once. I started to reread the HP books and can't stop, much as I love MoA.
A Beltane shawl. What a great idea! You do know that Beltane is next week?
If you want to extend the KAL, I'm up for it!
