The Rules for Project 3 at Camp Loopy 2012 Have Been Announced

Posted By on July 11, 2012

I think the knitters attending CAMP LOOPY have been refreshing The Loopy Ewe website URL constantly for the past three days – anxiously awaiting the RULES for Project 3 at Camp Loopy!

This time we have to use at least 500 yards of yarn, knit with at least two colors, and use a pattern that is new to us!

I chose the Whipporwill Shawl by Carina Spencer (available on Ravelry.com).

Whipporwill Shawl by Carina Spencer

 

I ordered my yarn from The Loopy Ewe…..and will be using Madelintosh – Tosh Merino Light in Parchment and Nutmeg.

Parchment – Madelinetosh Merino Light

 

Nutmeg – Madelinetosh – Merino Light

 

I really like these colors and will enjoy knitting with this yarn – it is sock weight I believe!  I also HOPE that I can follow the pattern.  I am pretty good at crocheting – but not so experienced as a knitter.  I am making progress though.

We CAST ON (I almost said CAST OFF – lol) on July 27 and will need to be finished by August 27.     I think I can….I think I can….I think I can…..

    I love seeing pictures of all the creativity of the Catherine-Shirley sew-sew days annd then to be entertained by the children – throw in an antique store – and you have created a win-win day Love the shawll pattern and colors you will soon start – if I wasn’t so nervous (too much possibility of having to rip out) I would attemp that pattern – it is lovely – looks like you may be working on Christmas presents. Have a good day – my daughter, SIL, DWH are having our yard and moving sale tomorrow. I am the supervisor – we will see how that goes until they make me go inside.. Judy C sends best wishes.

    Hi Shirley- I love the yarns you picked for the Whippoorwill shawl. I knit this pattern about a month ago and it isn’t hard – I have to block mine and then I’ll put in on my blog. You have tons of wonderful projects – I’ll be back often to check them out. Take care-
