a little bit of knitting  a blog in which I ramble on about the knitting I do for Designs by Emily

Hello everyone!  I’m sorry I forgot to set up the posts to be automatically published super early in the morning with the KAL rows.  I’ll get my act together later on today and have the rest of them set up so all you early risers can have them at 5:00 am.

Also, another note before I post the rows:  I’ve had a several of you sign up for email notification for when I make posts (yay!).  Well, this is my very first post since putting that little gadget on the blog, so it’s a nice trial run.  If any of you do not get an email saying that I had posted and you somehow happen to notice this post at some point, please let me know that my subscribe plugin is not working properly.  That means that I’m an idiot and I’ve done something wrong. 

Ok, here are the first nine rows for the KAL.  The recommended colors are brown or black, or green, gold or red.  I really don’t think pastels will look very good at all.
