Here is my final project. It is my favorite on the CPY site with Chunky Mochi. I did no mods and have just the tiniest bit left. The pictures are a little off color but the weather here is ucky and I am getting used to this camera. It is feldspar Chunky Mochi. You can barely see Nathan trying to sneak in the picture! I started it on 5-25 and finished it on the 28th. I can not wait to try the Mochi Plus next!

Knit With The Palace - again

I finished my second pair of CPY socks, Moonchild in Panda Superwash. Cast on May 2, 2011. Bind off May 16, 2011. 2.5 mm needles.

KWTP Green Socks

Finally finished! I lost sock #1. It may still appear, but in the mean time, I bought 2 more balls of yarn so that I could have enough left over for another pair.

Cast on: April 12, 2011
Bind Off: May 12, 2011
Yarn: Crystal Palace Panda Silk in Forest Tones
Needles: 2.25mm/US #1
Pattern: Knotty or Knice by Chrissy Gardiner

KWTP - socks

Panda Silk - Knotty or Knice socks
Sock #1 is still missing! Photo shows socks #2 & #3. I now have yarn to finish #3, with enough left over to knit another pair (in another pattern). It's lucky that I love the yarn.

Moonchild again
My first pair shrunk in the wash. CPY replaced the yarn. It's time to replace the socks. Beads are 8/0 AB clear.
Cast On: May 2, 2011
Yarn: CPY Panda Superwash

KWTP Green socks

The yarn is Panda Silk in Forest Tones, a little darker than the picture. I bought it last year at a Guild Yarn Crawl. When I buy yarn, I try to get something I haven't used before.

The pattern is Knotty or Knice Socks by Chrissy Gardiner, published in Interweave Knits.

Needles are 2.25mm Crystal Palace bamboos. The sock was started April 12, 2011. The fabric is luscious! I'm keeping these!

"knit with the palace" KAL

time to dig out your special crystal palace yarn balls and get knitting with them. this kal will be a little different. your projects have to be knit/crochet with a crystal palace yarns product. but, what? if you use your yarn, then you won't have any more?? well, no problem there! the winner will get to pick what's behind door #1 or door #2!

door #1 grand prize
12 fulled bags (a book filled with wonderful felted bags)
plus enough yarn to knit a couple of the projects

or

door #2 grand prize
8 balls of CPY yarn

and knowing susan, she will probably throw in more prizes at the end!

rules are simple
1. project must be made with CPY yarn.
2. project must use at least 50 gm of yarn.
3. one entry per project. one prize per person.
4. KAL will start on april 1, 2011 and will end may 31, 2011.
5. post progress photo and finished project photo by june 4, 2011. tag post with "kwtp"

eta: no double dipping between the "knit with the palace" and the "coquille" kal. sorry.

kal name was suggested by debi (who tortures me endlessly....)
