Week Fourty Nine - Lessons Learned One of the things I have learned about blogging over the past years, is that the very thing that you most want to write about generally keeps you from writing. That thing is called life. When I get busy,...

We are gearing up for some great videos here on KWU, so, what do you need to create some great videos, well a new camera of course. We have used many cameras, video and still, professional, prosumer, consumer versions, but this will be the first hard disk drive video camera we have owned.
I really wanted to stream line the process of removing the video files from the camera to the computer, and I am not sure if this will be the ticket or not, but I am going to give it a try anyway.

Sots was delivered in my mail yesterday and I could not stop giggling every time I looked at him. He was made for me by a member of the Secret of the Stole KAL – Guinevere knit a long group. I was totally surprised at his arrival and just think he is the cutest thing ever. Thank you Deb, I love him!
H
e is about 6.5 inches tall, his tail is just as long, and he was created from the free pattern Baby Snow Dragon by oldbaglady. The best part is that he is knitting a Guinevere stole! Isn’t he the most adorable thing?
The Secret of the Stole I (Guinevere) knit a long has ended and the group is now open to new members who have purchased the pattern. We decided to keep the group open so that those who wish to continue to share their progress on the stole can have a place to do so.
We are now preparing, fast and furious, for the Secret of the Stole II KAL that officially begins on January 18, 2008. In addition to the pattern creation, test knitting, etc. that goes into a knit a long, we are also working hard to prepare the new web site that will provide a forum, a pod-casting section, a video section for techniques and more. Stay tuned…
We are already working hard on the details of this new KAL (Secret of the Stole II) and I wanted to share a few of the door prizes that have already been committed to SOTSii.
If you are new to Secret of the Stole KAL’s, one thing we try very hard to do is to make them different and FUN for everyone. One way we did this in the last KAL was to give away some great door prizes for various reasons, like just for being a group member, a hint photo, finishing the weeks hint, guessing the theme question and so on.
We already have some great door prizes lined up for SOTSii as well.

All the door prizes have been given out, the last chart and hint has been completed, the theme has been revealed and winners announced. After looking at the progress of the group we decided to keep the group open for those who were still working on the Secret of the Stole KAL.
We even decided to approve new members into the group so if they wanted to be able to start the KAL themselves they could.
