Kicking off the April KAL

For April, we’re going to knit Mini Lace and Beaded Flag, a miniature version of the red, white and blue U.S. flag.  Undulating lace stripes and bead stars symbolize the flag proudly waving in the breeze.

Originally I was thinking we would do this project in May as a tribute to Memorial Day. However, doing the project one month earlier should give everyone time to be done in time to celebrate Memorial Day. Then of course, you’ll also be ready for celebrating 4th of July (Independence Day)!

Apologies to our non-U.S. members. I hope you will still knit along as there are a bunch of things I am going to point out that you can practice now and carry over to other projects. For example, a neat trick to carry the unused stripe color up each side without showing. No extra weaving in of ends!
