Okay, I’ll Do It!
Okay, I’ll do it! I’ll host the Union Square Market Pullover Knit-Along (and therefore will only have myself to blame at the long name for the group). I even checked with Kate Gilbert (the designer) herself to ask her opinion, and she said:
Deb,
Go right ahead! I’d be honored. I have heard here and there people threatening to eventually start a knit along, but I couldn’t tell you who and who could stop you even if someone else is doing it!
Have fun and thanks for the compliments!
Kate
So that pretty much answers that!
And so, I’ve designed a button and everything:
The next question is, format? I figure I’ve got two, real options:
- Either set it up
as aYahoo!Groupso people can post and link to pictures and all of that, or - Set it up as a Blogger blog, with multiple authors
Edited to add: It’s the Blogger group! And I already have one other member!
Hey, you folks know me well enough to know I’m thorough! Which one do you like better??
(Yes, I know there’s a third option where I just give weekly updates on how everyone’s doing, but in the KALs I’ve been in, I find it more fun to be able to post for myself–not to mention sharing advice and tips and questions and all that amongst the group.)

blogger blog gets my vote! And count me in…although i don’t have the pattern or yarn yet! Why should that stop me.
Hi There. Here’s a website to list your KAL http://knitting.xaviermusketeer.com/2005knitalongs.html. The Yahoo group is really nice for the participants to post too but I’m not sure which is easier for you to set up.
Take care,
Tori
P.S. I may join you, I have yarn in my stash I think would work for this, but so many projects going I may have to pass. Good luck to all!
I prefer the blog style as sometimes, I’m just too lazy to click around the YahooGroup site. Plus, I usually choose the “no email” option which means I neglect to look to see what everyone’s doing.
But, if it were a blog, I’ll have bloglines to remind me to keep up.
Does all that make sense ;^)
I’m thinking of joining but need to do other knitting first. I didn’t realize the mag was out! I’ll let you know.
