This is a group for Melissa Leapman (the author of the book)

As usual, EZ throws you the schematics and you're on your own. I'm loving the Alpaca Cloud, although it slows me down, because I keep stopping my knitting so I can hold it up to my face! --Peggy; ▶ Reply to This

I was kind of looking for a group of people I could share the experience with. I have lots of projects, though, so maybe one of them with show up as a KP knitalong. --Peggy; ▶ Reply to This

It looks like cables are very popular; I'm in a KAL right now on CafeMom in a group called Knitty Gritty so I don't want to do anything with cables right now. I did notice a previous post for the Mitered Squares Blanket from Mason-Dixon Knitting, now that would be fun! Never tried socks, I don't have that passion yet.; ▶ Reply to This

I knit one for my grandma for Christmas and a lot of other people here at Knit Picks have been knitting the log cabin blankets from Mason Dixon. Check out the Mitered Squares blanket on January One's blog, it's beautiful! Here is the link: http://www.januaryone.com/archives/knit/knit_quilts/madness/

Oh, I also found a Mason Dixon KAL here: http://masondixonkal.blogspot.com/; ▶ Reply to This

And I just LOVE to physically go and look at the yarns and books before ordering something. And that's not possible I can do over the net.
I see you have regular sock knit-alongs. How about sweaters or cardigans?
Also, for the knit-alongs, should we be using all the yarns suggested or would you mind using substitutes? There are some fabulous yarns available here that I could substitute for others that are otherwise only available over the internet. Again, I don't mind ordering, but on the screen they look different than when you actually see and touch them in the store.
Hope I'm not sounding too internet-phobic, cause that's not me, really.
Thanks.
