Hi, Knitters!
I am so excited to get this SBA Shawl Knitalong kicked off! There are some different rules that really benefit you and add to your chances of winning a prize. Be sure to read through thoroughly. You don't need to be a member of the Itty-Bitty Knits group (my Ravelry group) to enter but we'd sure love to have you join in over there.
Click here for the discussion and sharing and helping thread on my Ravelry Group, Itty-Bitty Knits! This is the thread where you officially join the SBA Shawl Knitalong and chat, post photos, get help, and have fun! Set up your project pages and tag SBASHAWLKAL please! I will post your name on a list and will be drawing for random prizes along the way from this thread.
Click here for the finished SBA Shawl Knitalong thread! Here is where you post photos of finished shawls and link your project page. Please no chatter on here, only finished shawls.
Here is how it is going to work:
The SBA Shawl Knitalong is starting today, January 22, 2015 and ending March 1, 2015. This knitalong is different than some other knitalongs you may have done in the past so be sure to read through the rules (they benefit you, the knitter!).

Yowza Weigh It Shawl
Yowza Weigh It Shawl 2

p.p.s If I get the Yowza Weigh It Shawl 3 done soon I will add it to the discount and the list of included shawls. I just haven’t had the time to finish it but I will be on a mission to do so!!
This shawl is owned by Quince & Co. so Drawing Nigh is not included in the 20% off discount code. You can purchase this pattern through Ravelry or Quince & Co.
Don't forget to use the discount code for 20% off the 6 different shawl patterns if interested. The code is: SBASHAWLKAL. The sale goes now until Jan. 30, 2015.

What a fantastic KAL! I'm going to knit Hayward as I have the kit from Infinite Twist. I've been so eager to start knitting it but I had some other projects to finish first. This is going to be so fun! Thanks, Susan.
This is awesome! I already own the first two Yowza Weigh-it Shawl patterns, and already had plans to knit the first one with a gorgeous skein of Yowza in the Berlin colorway that I bought for that purpose. I'll definitely be joining in. Thanks, Susan - what a fun idea.
What a great, fun KAL! I'm going to be knitting the Yowza 2 shawl! I love that you don't have to keep track of much to do these! Looking forward to seeing what others are knitting too! Thanks Susan! Knittingmommy1 on Rav
This is going to be a great KAL. I plan to start with one of the Weight It Shawls first. Thank you!

Hi Susan! I am Tracy and I have the Hayward shawl pattern and will cast on for it soon for the KAL. I have recently finished the Yowza Weight It shawl so that is one entry. Yay! Cant wait:)
Thanks for such great patterns and fun.
Tracy
Tracy, sounds great! Make sure you join in on the thread so I can get you entered.
See you there!
You know I'm in! I've made 2 of the Yowza 1 shawls and will be starting Hayward :) pamelajd on Rav
This sounds like fun😊 I have most of your shawl patterns except Hayward (gorgeous) and Drawing Nigh (also gorgeous). Sad to say I haven't knit one of them. This will give me a chance to adjust that. Off to make some decisions and purchases.
I'm game! I'm currently addicted to the Yowza! Weigh it Shawl. I'll be casting on with my new Miss Babs that I found at VKL! Cannot wait!!
I am going to be in trouble if I try and purchase a new yarn for Yowza or 50 Row Shawlette... Can I use the worsted yarns I have in my stash?
Anonymous!
Anonymous,
Use any yarn you'd like, new, old or otherwise.
Everyone and every yarn is welcome!

I'm excited about this KAL! It just so happens that I cast on Drawing Nigh last week, so I'll have a great shawl for the KAL.

I have joined the KAL and forgot to mention the coupon on Ravelry. I just wanted to say thank you, I picked up a couple more patterns to try.
Hello! I started the YOWZA Weigh It Shawl on Christmas Eve. I am still working on it as I have a few other things started. I LOVE this yarn. I can't wait to get it off the needles and around my shoulders. I am a big fan of all of your work! Thank you for your inspiration! Happy Knitting :)
Hi Susan! The KAL is a great opportunity for me to put a great pattern in my cart and start knitting-- I am going to try my hand at Drawing Nigh. I love knitting yarns with a transition of color, so now, off to the stash, or maybe to fill another cart!

I have knit the 50 Row Shawlette and the first Yowza shawl...loved both projects. I ordered the Hayward Shawl Kit a few months ago and plan to get that on the needles now. Great KAL.
Thanks

What a great KAL! I've already knit the Quaker Ridge shawl and the first Yowza shawl. I already have the pattern and yarn for the second Yowza shawl but haven't cast on yet.

This sounds like so much fun!
I have one question.
Can a person who lives out of the US win? I live in Canada.
Thanks!,
Amaris
I was wearing my Prairie Ridge shawl yesterday I love the way it fits and the weight of the beaded edge. I got to show it to you at Fall Fling.
I've got to go stash diving to see what stashed yarns work for one of your patterns and join you in the KAL.
It's a great idea to structure it this way and recognize those who have already knit one or a few of your patterns.
Amaris ~ absolutely someone out of the U.S. is eligible to win a prize!! Great question.
Many of the prizes are from sellers that ship all over the world. And the things I am shipping I will definitely send anywhere.
Thanks for asking.

So excited about this KAL! I have a few other projects on the needles, but still went ahead and purchased two of your shawl patterns. I think I'm going to do the Quaker Ridge Shawlette. Thanks Susan!
Your shawls are like peanut butter m&ms for me, I can't stop at a one, I want them all. But, I am a definite for Prairie Ridge Shawl out of a Madtosh Pashmina that I have. I started it last Fall, but am not sure where I actually was on it so I am going to back it out and start again.
YAYYY! What fun! I'm currently knitting the first Yowza Weigh It shawl. It's a great pattern for tv and social knitting. I also love the Miss Babs yarn: so very soft.
Thank you for doing this KAL Susan!
Judy
Hi Susan, what a fun KAL! I am definitely going to play along. I just finished my Yowza Shawl 1, and I'm going to cast on for #2 in a couple weeks. I'm going to take a look at my yarn choices, and see how many I can do. :)
