I'd be willing to join a "design your own item" so we could all share in the design process, or top down raglan. I haven't checked the knitalong page for a few days, though.

A top-down raglan would be awesome! I know it's springtime, but I've been on a sweater kick lately.

The newsboy cap is quite the rage, so how about a knitalong for the Stitch 'n Bitch version.

I'm loving everything in the Sensual Knits book. Ive started the Vixen cami and the Jewel halter dress. I'd love to see that one!

How about a Knitalong for the new summer samplers? I've completed the Lace Mat in the Georgian sampler and am just starting the Lace Cap in the same sampler. The Lace Mat gave me a surprising amount of trouble. Circular cast-on, starting with just 4 stitches, M1L and M1R increases all were new to me.

Ok I'll bite, whats M1L and M1R??? I always thought M1 was make one, but how do you make one left or make one right...Thats a good one, makes me chuckle.

Here's our tutorial on increases - the Make 1 increase has two variations that slant either left or right. Also, our May catalog will have an additional tutorial on slanting increases and decreases commonly used in lace knitting.
