A Bonus Companion Project

Hi {!name_fix} - I hope you are enjoying knitting Tea-time Serviette for this month's KAL.

Reminder, today April 25th is the last day of the discount pattern offer on Tea-time Serviette. See the Knit-A-Longs area of the KnitHeartStrings website.

If you have not yet joined in this knit-and-learn-along, there's still time to join in. Just because the discount period ends does not mean we cannot keep knitting! In fact, I have another little bonus variation to tempt you in picking up your knitting needles. It is a smaller beverage coaster/doily using parts of the original pattern. See

Bonus Companion Project: Beverage Coaster

The Beverage Coaster is the final support article for this month's KAL. If you missed any of the other 7 articles or want to review them at any time, you can always get back to them by looking at the April 2014 archives or the Previous KAL's page.

Even if you aren't knitting along this month, I hope you have the opportunity to peruse these tips, techniques and tutorial articles when you get a chance. You never know when something might spark an idea you'll find interesting or helpful when working on some other project or craft.

April KAL and Giveaway Prize Drawing
This month I have Jaggerspun Zephyr silk/wool yarn (a favorite of lace knitters), plus a full-color printed and autographed shawl pattern to give away to some lucky member! Will it be you? More info here.

May KAL Sneak Peek
Looking ahead to next month's project in the Beyond BOBBOL 2014 series, get a sneak peek now at Next Up KAL for the pattern cover page with shopping list and be ready to knit in May. The complete pattern will be available to general membership at special KAL discounts beginning May 5th. Premium Members have early access via Ravelry Delivery option beginning today.

Any questions? Just give me a shout-out. Happy knitting,
Jackie E-S / HeartStrings FiberArts
