Preview: Precious Treasures

Hi {!name_fix} - The end of April is closing in on us, so that means I am starting to switch things over for the May KAL. I hope you have, are, or will be enjoying knitting Tea-time Serviette from this month's KAL. If you missed or want to review later any of the 8 support articles for this month's KAL, a listing of links is available in the April 2014 archives as well as the Previous KAL's page.

In case you are looking for a smaller, quicker project meantime while waiting to kick off May's KAL, the instructions for a beverage coaster/doily using parts of the original Tea-time Serviette pattern are available now (sorry I messed up giving you a correct link in the last newsbrief). See
