Are you ready for the Pavo Real knitalong? We’ll be casting on for our shawls tomorrow, Feb. 2nd, and I’m super excited to see what variations y’all are working on!
The knitalong’s home will be on KSD’s ravelry group, and I’ve also set up a flickr group to share photos of your projects.
I’ll start a fresh forum thread tomorrow morning for you to post your progress, photos, questions, and ideas. And, because this everyone loves prizes, there will be random prize giveaways for KAL participants during the event!
Get out your needles and KSD yarn and get ready, this is going to be awesome! Want to participate but feel a little out-of-your-league? This project is much easier to learn than you would think! CLICK HERE for more information on the Pavo Real online class, where I’ll teach you step-by-step from cast on to bind off how to knit this fun (and addictive) lace project.

I’ve been revisiting one of our patterns today, the Pavo Real shawl:
Triangle shawls and shawlettes like the Pavo Real are really popular right now, and they’re definitely one of my favorite projects. I get a ton of wear from the ones I’ve made for myself, especially these smaller, one-skein size projects. A lot of folks like to wear them in the traditional manner, across the shoulders, but I really love to bundle up bandito style:
I’m going out of town this weekend and indulging in some (GASP!) personal project time, so I’ll be casting on for a Pavo Real in Luxe, just for me! It’s a skein of an odd duck pale blue that’s been in my stash since the summer, and now I know just what it wants to be. And with one skein on size 8 needles, this could conceivably be finished in the next couple of weeks! *fingers crossed*
