Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

franney · Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2009 6:00 pm Post subject: Baktus/Karius KAL

Seeing as there's a few of us knitting this at the moment i thought i would start a KAL thread Wink

I'm knitting mine with Drops Fabel in shade #162 which is mostly turquoise but has orangey bits in it as well as fairisley bits and i'm about halfway through the first ball. I am loving the pattern so far, as is my friend who i've decided will be getting it for Chrimble!

I shall attempt to get a photo now before it gets too dark out Wink

What is everyone else using and how are you getting on with it?

I like the look of this but have too much stuff OTN at present to cast on just yet, plenty of sock yarn in stash to make one in the future though.

Mine is being made using Opal feelings, which is stripey, and blue. I'll get a photo shortly although I haven't done much of it. I'm thinking it might be handy to pop into my hospital bag incase I get bored during labour Laughing
