Indie Designer Gift Along 2014 Has Started!!!

Yesterday was the start to this 2nd Annual Indie Designer Giftalong. If you are new to this event and don't know what it is about, or  you were in it last year, but you don't remember about it, I will tell you all you need to know.

First thing is first, it is hosted primarily on Ravelry. It has it's own group: Indie Design Gift-along.

Next, this is an event in which you knit presents for the holidays and such, but you can knit yourself something as a "gift" to you. There are a bunch of designers this year, almost twice the amount of last years. They discount select designer's patterns off the list for one week only. This year it is from November 13, 2014 to November 21, 2014. The designers are listed in the page on their group, right here. Or if you don't want to look at them all like that, there is a thread here that the designers have posted a collage of their discounted patterns.

There are also some Pinterest Boards for the patterns. These are new this year, and they are really awesome idea. I am so happy that these are here actually.

When you are ready to check out and buy the patterns, on the purchase page it will have a place to put the coupon code and this year the coupon code is: giftalong2014 and you will get 25% off.

Now let's talk about my projects, shall we?

First of all (and that is already casted on):

I don't have a photo of the other one, but it is Quaere Fibers sock yarn in an undyed color, just white. 

Then hopefully I will have time for a third project:

I don't know what yarn I will use since this is knit in super bulky yarn, and I don't have any in my stash, so I will probably just hold worsted double. 

So, as you see, I have already purchased pattern, and started on project, I am so excited to be doing this again! 

I will hopefully be hosting interviews again this year. If you are interested, you can see my interviews from last year right here.
