I am proud to announce that Knitting Brooklyn will be joining forces with Tracey aka Tbmccarthy, founder of the  Remembering Remy group on ravelry,  to host a preemie cap charity KAL!!

This KAL will run from March 1- June 3 2012: 95 days in honor of the 95 days Remy was physically with her parents at NYU's Tisch NICU in NYC.

Tracey is continuing with Remy's parents' wishes to never forget to Relish Every Moment You have (REMY)- Let's help her do just that!!!

• Incentive prizes each month
• Grand Prize drawing at the end of the KAL
• Prize to the KB listener who contributes the most preemie caps

Episode 4: Mother Bear, Cookie A, and a Giveaway, Oh My!

Introduce yourself in the Ravelry group!

Oops!!
Here a some things I want to correct/add!
I forgot to thank Susan of the With Pointed Sticks Podcast for giving me a shout out- Thank you!!
I also wanted to add that the reason you want to cut out half the plys of your yarn when doing a Russian Join is to reduce bulk.
Finally, Cookie A's class was three hours not two!
