This
cache is dedicated to my dear friend
knitter, and has been placed on the occasion of
her birthday.
Knitter became a
Canadian Master Knitter (a designation awarded to her by the
Knitting Guild of Canada) in 2002. I don't think there's anything
she can't knit (and beautifully, too).
The cache is filled with items that remind me of her. It also holds
Knitter's
Birthday Bug (a travel bug that's being launched in this
cache), and some mail for knitter to pick up. Oh yes, and a very
special prize for the FTF'er.
The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates. (Those co-ordinates
are, however, a great place to park).
Please post a picture of your masterpiece with your log. We love to
see the colour combinations!
Requirements: 4.5 mm circular needles, and knitting worsted
weight yarn remnants in two colours: mc (main colour) and cc
(contrasting colour).
If colour not specified, use mc (main colour).
Cast on 101 stitches in mc.
