It's Snowing at KnitHeartStrings!

Hi {!name_fix}, To close out 2014 and start off the new year, we will knit lacy snowflakes using free-form lace shaping techniques. The KAL features a special edition pattern for a small snowflake medallion using the center out method and a lacy points bind off. This special edition pattern will be available soon with special discounts at the Knitted Snowflakes (Dec/Jan) page.

Note to Premium members: check the Premium Area NOW for your bonus Lacyflakes pattern that includes 4 versions of snowflakes made with a variety of center out and outside in free-form lace shaping techniques.

Haven't gotten the November KAL pattern yet? Remember that November's Beaded Mosaic Knitting KAL has been carried over into this month in case you have been distracted by other activities such as busy holiday preparations. Check out the details and get your pattern at special KnitHeartStrings member limited-time discounts - BEADED MOSAIC KNITTING KAL page
