Artyarns Cast On - KAL Crowned Glory Scarf

I will be adding in Artyarns in a few weeks.  These yarns are stunning.  I needed to get my hands on some, and fast!  

I have never done a knit along.  This has just changed.  Iris from Artyarns sent me the yarn I needed to participate in her most recent knit along, now to be called KAL.

Most people know that I love working with these colors.  I have dyed quite a few fibers in a similar colorway.  Cashmere Glitter, which I will soon be stocking, and yes, in this color, is the yarn called for in the KAL.  It is 100% Cashmere with a strand of glittery Lurex.  Each skein is 50gm and 155m/170yd.  The yarn is all hand painted-one skein at a time!  It is made in the USA from imported fibers.

I wound the yarn into a ball Tuesday night using my swift and ball winder and then I cast on.

This tool comes in very helpful with this pattern.  The pattern changes every row.  This magnetic board from my LYS, The Fiber Factory (480-969-4346), is the perfect tool to mark where I am in the pattern.

Another thing I find very useful for this pattern is a really good glossary with pictures of the knitting terms.  I grabbed my copy of this version of One Skein Wonders and opened it to the back.

It turns out the the 2 pages shown here had what I needed to interpret the shorthand in the pattern with visual instructions on how to knit the stitches.

I will keep you up to date as I work on this pattern.  Want to join the KAL?  Cast on here!
