Just a reminder that our Water shawl (Ravelry link) knitalong starts in about a month. In case you need to buy yarn. (Of course you do!)
I will be sewing a water themed medium-sized project bag for all participants who complete their shawl between March and June. The bag will be the same pattern as my winter solstice project bag.
Each bag will be cotton and/or linen, fully lined, with a wave ribbon. I’ve already picked out the fabric for my bag!
I realize Merpeople with attitudes may not be for everyone, so here are some other mix and match options.
If you have a preference for your bag, let me know in the comments. There’s a yard of each fabric so I can pretty much make any combination.
Marilee will be making stitch markers for participants who complete their shawl as well. I’m so excited! She makes the best stitch markers.
I feel that water is a great March to June theme, as the ice of winter melts into water and flows into spring.
Here’s my weekly music share, on theme.
Snakes & Cranes 
I have been thinking about the Water shawl recently, now that I have finished a few UFOs. It’s so kind of you to offer rewards for this challenge project. I’ll be excited to get started.

Thank you for the reminder, I’d forgotten all about it! I know I’d picked out some yarn from my stash for this, I just need to remember what. Those merpeople with attitudes are pretty awesome!

I’m pretty sure I have enough fabric for at least one more merpeople bag, if you want one!

It’s an Alexander Henry print from The Ghastlies series. I found it from a fabric shop on Etsy.

Thank you for the reminder to order my yarn. I decided to try out some Jill Draper Makes Stuff because I’ve been longing for it for some time. I love the teal gradient.

Also – as you probably guessed, I didn’t even see this before we met up this morning. I had just been looking at charms on Etsy and thinking about it 🙂

Also if there isn’t enough merpeople fabric, anything would be awesome 🙂

WATER look so so lovely. I read some of the comments from the knitters who have made this. The one comment that deters me is someone used a lot of highlighter to keep things straight. IM going to sit and watch all ya’ll enjoy this. And your bag gifts is a lovely touch
