FLAK


I have been knitting away on the Kauni Shawl and am almost done. I realized a mistake a few rows back so will have to rip alittle bit. Not my favorite knitting to do the frogpond rippit rippit.

I started the FLAK which stands for Follow The Leader Aran Knitalong that was from 2005. The pattern is by Janet Szabo at www.bigskyknitting.com bought the pattern and am working on the first part of the knitting. I also have her book Aran sweater Design to help me. The idea is to have a custom fit Aran Sweater knit from the top down. The picture is what they call Saddles and they fit across each shoulder. The neck and back and front are picked up from these will post followup when I get them knitted. I am using a yarn called Peruvian Highland Wool by Elann and it comes in so many pretty colors. The color I am using is called Tranquil Lagoon. I hope I have enough yarn.
