• Also, as a courtesy to me, I would ask that you refrain from posting a photo with the pattern instructions. It is just to protect my design and I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

• A discussion thread will be started in the geoknittrix designs group on Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com/groups/geoknittrix-designs) for you to ask questions pertaining to the MKAL. There will also be a thread to post your in progress shots so you can share your project with everyone, chat with your fellow knitters, and see all those FAB projects as well!
