MKAL20 - slipstravaganza
Monday, November 30, 2020Well, well, well. Here we are at the end of November. No, no, no!
Have you ever heard John Mayers song, "Stop This Train"? Well, that is pretty much how I am feeling. I cry every time I listen to that song.
Although, I was always super excited for a new day and a new week during this Mystery Knitalong by Stephen West. He brought so much joy to this time. If you haven't ever participated in one of his KAL, I highly recommend it!
This shawl did not disappoint on the interest, challenge and excitement. Stephen West puts so much thought into his designs. His design creativity is truly off the charts.
There were stitches I have never worked. There were deadlines I pushed myself to make. There were rows that seemed to go on F O R E V E R. There were nights I couldn't put it down and mornings I couldn't wait to get out of bed.
I love how the combination of my yarns give it the perfect drape. And, as I have mentioned before, Stephen encourages you to do some stash diving to find your combination.
I have built up quite a stash because of my Knitcrate subscription. And when I went diving, I was so grateful! As all of these yarns are from past Knitcrate boxes.
This knit will truly be one of those knits I will be excited to wear. One of those knits where the outfit will be planned around. Or one of those knits I will love to wear regardless of what I am wearing. And, I'll feel damn proud to be wrapped inside it.
Well done, Stephen West!

DeleteI really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

ReplyDeleteI'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want..
