There are still a couple of weeks left in the KAL/CAL, so don't think you're free yet! We'll have some questions, some quizzes, and maybe even a draw
You’ll need what you have left of Contrast A and your circular needle!
Pattern
Skills You’ll Learn & Use
- Each skill in the list links to a video in our Video Library where you can learn the skill or remind yourself what to do.
- Pick up and knit
- Knit
- Purl
- Casting off
- You are instructed to “cast off in pat,” meaning to cast off in the pattern. When casting off normally you knit one stitch, then the next, and then you pull the first stitch over the second. In this case, because the pattern alternates knit and purl stitches, you will knit one, purl one, pull the knit over the purl, knit one, pull the purl over the knit, and continue in this fashion.
- Mark the stitches you plan to pick up beforehand so you’re confident about the placement. One way you can do this is to take scrap yarn and a large eye, blunt tip needle and run it through the stitches you plan to pick up, then use that as a guide when picking up and knitting the stitches. You can also place stitch markers at the end of a section, or in every number of predetermined stitches (ex. twenty).
Please do not post any photos to this thread. They belong in the "Knit-Along Clue 7 (Week 8): Finished Blanket Photos" thread!
When you're done YOUR ENTIRE AFGHAN (you're done!!), why not pat yourself on the back and add a badge to your signature?
Just open the User Control Panel's "Signature" page. In the field where you type your signature, add the code below and you'll be able to show off your progress! It's a good idea to replace last week's badge with this one so your signature isn't cluttered
- Code: Select all

Initially I was not peeking at the next clue until I finished the previous one, but soon learned it paid to be behind, so others could encounter the issues and pose the questions and get the answers before I tackled the same clue. Now that we have them all, I am peeking WAY ahead (I only have 4 squares of Clue 3 completed) and using the beautiful photos of everyone's completed work to inspire me to finish. I love the border and can't wait to see fully completed images. Go fellow knitters 
I was hoping that the bottom and top borders would match the side borders, but maybe it'll look better this way. I'll be sad when the KAL is over too!!
