I am new to this. I'm an experience knitter and have been looking for a group project. Can't wait for the first clue. I guess I should get the yarn. Any suggestions.

Read the Color Tutorial, about how to choose the right colors for your decor.

Then, go to My Palette, to choose your shades!

When you get your yarn, make a gauge swatch, to be sure you're spot on for the right size blanket.

I love to knit, this is my first time trying something like this, I am really looking forward to it. Can't wait for it to start.

I just bought the yarn at Michaels in Canada (Ontario) two balls for $8, they would not let me use a coupon because the yarn was on sale

that stinks!

this is a first for me! after 'mastering' coasters and a simple dishcloth, I decided that I wanted a challenge. The email came about this KAL and I thought why not? I love that it's supposed to be for everyone, and I'm looking forward to giving this as a gift to my son and future daughter in law when they get married this fall. I should have it done by then, lol. Bought the yarn and needles yesterday

Welcome to all of you!

I think it's wonderful to see how many newcomers there are to our project. We are going to have so much fun making our blankets together!

I live in Canada too and noticed the yarn on sale at Michaels' - BUT the sale online [here on the Bernat site] purchasing directly from Bernat was a good deal for me- I got the colours I wanted and will have it delivered to my door for just a few bucks, very convenient for this time of year!
