Just In Time!

Just in time for next week's program, Modern Daily Knitting has a post about Mosaic Knitting today with great descriptions, explanations, and tutorial videos.  Go online or follow this link and bookmark today's MDK post for after-the-program help if you need a reminder.

(No, I'm not knitting ahead.  This is one of a pair of mosaic mitts I knitted for the fair, but I wanted to post a picture to go with the post.  I admit, these are the colors I'm using for the Eagle Eye Beanie.)

Time to Cast On!

Linda from Intertwined is coming to teach us Mosaic Knitting at the BLKG meeting on Thursday, October 21 and it'd be a good idea to have the brim of the beanie knitted so that you can dive right into the fun parts.  The pattern she'll be teaching is the Eagle Eye Beanie.  You can find it on Ravelry for $2.50.  It calls for worsted weight yarn in two colors--a main color and a secondary color.  I've decided to go with black for the main color and a rainbow variegated for the secondary color.  The pattern recommends the Alternating Cable Cast On and links to a very good YouTube video for instruction.  I only had to watch twice to figure it out.  Okay, maybe three times but it isn't too difficult to remember.  Since I very cleverly chose black for my main color I'll be hoping for a sunny day tomorrow to get knitting on the brim.  Hope to see you at Grace Lutheran Church on the 21st!  (Remember, the church requires us to wear masks so don't forget yours.)
