Last year was my first year to participate in the eat.sleep.knit Yarnathon. I was a proud member of the winning Stitchosaur Team! I didn’t complete the yarnathon in my purchases but my stash was nicely enhanced, I participated in weekly trivia and a challenge or KAL each quarter, and had a fun time. I was curious to see what would be involved in the 2015 Yarnathon and HOLY COW it seems incredible! There are new teams, year-long KALs, trivia, and a Booster Club – with merit badges. I’m so in! I’m happy to join the Fleecy Foxes:
A few initial thoughts on the KALs:
- Colorwork: Color Infusion (yarn ordered)
- Headgear: TBD
- Shawls: TBD
- Hitofude Cardigan: Yes, I have Mrs.Crosby Satchel in Hollywood Cerise I stashed last year and a magenty-pink cardi could be fun!
- No Sleeves: Merewether (yarn ordered – kudos to the ESK team – they noticed that the yarn I ordered was from 2 dye lots. Should be ok to alternate and get another badge, so I’m ok with it. Just impressed they noticed and took the time to check with me!)
- Mitered Squares: (meh, not really feeling this one today. need to think it over)
- Socks: TBD
- New to You: TBD
- Sweater Free For All: TBD
- Selfless Knits: TBD
- Felting: (meh on this one too. My washer is not all that great for felting.)
- Chunky Knits: TBD
I’m not worried about figuring out the TBDs. My queue is large and I hope to use some of the previously stashed yarn in combination with the Love Your Library KAL!
Badges – I already requested and received Social Stalker and Queue Anonymous!
Are you participating in the yarnathon? I’m more of a lurker in the Ravelry group, so if you’re interested to follow my progress: here’s my bloglovin link and my facebook page!
