I had a hard time with the cast-on, but since then, I have learned from EZ about the Emily Ocker's cast on, and through another shawl knitalong, I found out about knitting a little rectangle with waste yarn to hold onto, then adding the project's yarn and joining the circle at that point. I think I will try that next time. --Peggy; ▶ Reply to This

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
