What Goes Into the Design of a Smoke Ring

Hi {!name_fix},

How are you coming along with this month's KAL project for Smoke Ring with Lace Edging?

If you haven't gotten the pattern yet, go to the Smoke Ring KAL page now to get your pattern at 50% discount thru Oct 25, 2014 (or for free as part of your paid Basic or Premium membership). Be sure you are logged in so that you can see the discounted pattern offer for your KnitHeartStrings member level.

Smoke Rings are a versatile accessory that offer a variety of design opportunities. Spark excitement in how you can use the canvas of a simple smoke ring to play around with Form, Stitch Pattern(s), Embellishment and Structure. Discussion and examples are included in the bit-size tutorial What Goes Into the Design of a Smoke Ring.

Other bit-size tutorials in this month's Smoke Ring KAL series are
- Picking a Yarn
- Sizing for a Custom Fit

Speaking of yarn, did you see that this month's Prize Drawing is for a Smoke Ring Kit with luxury baby alpaca/merino/angora yarn? More info on how you can win here.

This week I'm heading back to my studio in Louisiana, so will be off-line most of the time. Just wanted to let you know in case you contact me or need help and it takes a while for me to get back to you. Thanks for your patience.

Have a good knitting week!
