I have no illusions about the fact that no one ever sees my posts,  so I'm going to go ahead and share spoilers of an ongoing MKAL.   I have two MKAL projects I'm hopelessly behind on,  and three of four others I joined but never started,  so of course I needed another.  Last year, I participated in my first MKAL, Casapinka's The Sharon Show. My color choices were terrible,  but otherwise I loved every minute of it.  Despite the knowledge that I probably won't keep up this year,  I couldn't resist joining this year's MKAL, the Snark-o-meter . I made it through the first clue on schedule,  and even started the second.  That's about the time I realized how many other projects I have that were also calling to me. I'm behind now,  but plan to catch back up soon,  once I get a few of these other WIPs where they need to be.   xo, Uhlissa

It was a managable amount of knitting, released every Friday and Monday. I've participated in some MKALs where the clues were each so much knitting it felt overwhelming.  Knit on my favorite Chiagoo Red US 4 needles, I used about 386 yds of the main color  - Madelinetosh Merino Light in Copper Pi...
