Today I'm announcing a Knit Along for Harriet's Jacket, beginning on August 1. This should give interested knitters time to gather their materials, read the pattern, etc. before the action begins. I'll be using
Briar Rose Fibers Sonoma, and Chris, the dyer, will be sending out information about the KAL in her newsletter. I ran into her at
Rhinebeck last October and fell in love with her yarns right away.
You can use the same yarn or other yarn of your choosing. The KAL will work this way: I'll post photos and instructions for Harriet's Jacket as I knit (yet another) one for myself. There'll be lots of photos and details as I go. We'll use the comments section of this blog for questions, answers, remarks, etc. I hope followers will post photos of their work-in-progress to the projects section of Ravelry. Here's some inspiration.

Don't forget to think about buttons--they're so important to the final look! Briar Rose Fibers has some lovely ones.
P.S. For Canadian readers: Briar Rose will ship to Canada, but you will need to write or call to make arrangements; the online form won't accept international orders.
