I've lost my original list of colors, so I don't know which are A,B,C,D, and E. Help!! I haven't even started because I've been searching for my page that suggested colors and how many of each to buy.

Here is the One Stop Reference page, with all the basic information about our KAL/CAL.

Just decided to start this KAL today. I have been doing the CAL and was getting through it pretty quickly and needed a challenge. Well, a sale at Michaels helped me decide too. And a challenge it is, for me. I am fairly new to knitting. I just finished my first square, and it is the first finished knit piece I have ever made. Started a few, but ever actually finished anything. But this is definitely going to take me a while.

Don't worry! With work and everything else going on, I just finished Square #3 of Clue 1! Starting on Square #4! Hoping to get through Clue 1 and 2 this weekend. Wish me luck! LOL!

I started the KAL to use up some of my stash between the CAL clues. Then I decided to buy add additional yarn to compliment it. Clue 1 took quite awhile, but now I am on to Clue 2 and I may end up liking the colors for the KAL more than the CAL

I am on my last square for Clue #1 and on the second half to boot! I am excited to have my badge up this evening!

I am so happy I am not the only one still working on Clue #1 !! I have 1/2 a square left and I can post a badge tonight, I don't consider myself a slow knitter, but finding the time has been the challenge. I find myself looking forward to Wednesdays (previously "over the hump" day) now... even if I am behind.

Congratulations on finishing your squares!

Thank you ! I am quite proud of an idea I came up with and am not sure where to post it where others might find it helpful, perhaps you can direct me? In searching for an inexpensive blocking board set up, I bought a 12" x 36" piece of styrofoam (with a coupon, of course) that is 2" thick to accommodate my 1" U-shaped pins. Then I covered the styrofoam, wrapping it like a giftbox with pattern tracing interfacing fabric from my sewing stash, and secured it with the U-shaped pins in places where you would use cellophane tape when wrapping a gift box. The pattern tracing fabric is a light interfacing type fabric, printed with a blue 1" grid on it. Not only does it prevent the styrofoam from depositing "foam crumbles" on everything, but the blue color does not run and it's quick to pin out the desired size of the item I am blocking. (It is usually found in the interfacing section of your local fabric store.) The styrofoam is pourus and helps along the drying process. This is a good method for blocking smaller items and I don't have to store a huge piece of foam. If I have something larger to block, I can just add another block of foam and butt it up against my first piece. That's it.....my stroke of genius. PS: notice the badge ? I appreciate your encouragement ....on to Clue #2.
