Hello from the newbie

Hey everyone, I'm Angela from Oregon. Admin Carissa steered me to this excellent group (Heidi-ho Carissa!) I'm a psychologist by day and skull obsessed by night.

My latest FO is a felted bag from She-Knits called the Melly Bag.



The pattern was originally done in browns and beiges, but both brown and beige go against everything I believe in. Much better in the black and red I think.

As far as the KAL nominations, I think I'm all for the Biker Boy sweater. Then again, I was with Carissa at the Debbie Stoller book signing, so seeing it in person has made me way too excited to do it (which may not be a good thing since I've never knit a sweater before). Someone talk me out of it ;)

Nominations

Hey guys! I think a PRK Knit along is a great idea. Here are my nominations:

We Call Them Pirates

I've knit this before for my dad, and I totally want to make myself one. The pattern was easy, it's a free pattern, and it's covered in skulls. What's not to love? I don't know.

I was also thinking that maybe be could just have a Skull-along? Like, gloves, hats, socks, whatever you want to knit, but they have skulls on them?

KAL Nominations

These are my nominations for our first Punk Rock KAL:

Biker Boy from Son of Stich n' Bitch

This pattern is available in Debbie Stoller's new book, Son of Stitch n' Bitch. I really like this and am planning on making it for my husband anyway.

The only two downsides I can see to this as a KAL pattern, is that:

1) It's a big item (as opposed to knucks)

2) You'd have to buy the book (or find it in a local library) to get the pattern. Right now, it's going for $10.85 on Amazon.com (which isn't too shabby considering retail is $15.95)





Skull Socks of Fury from Hello Yarn

I dig these. I'd do them in black and pink. You, of course, could do them in whatever color you want. This pattern is also FREE. Hooray for free!.
