Now that we've had a whole weekend to get started on our FOYAL projects, what's everybody working on?

We'll be drawing prize winners tomorrow (around noon Pacific time) from the replies to this post. To be included, show us a project you're working on from any for-purchase pattern from a participating designer. Links to the patterns also appreciated.

After some unrelated bureaucratic delays, we've drawn a random winner for this Random Question.

Congratulations to @anikeaten ! Please DM this account with the email address you want your prize sent to, and your choice of knitting, machine knitting, crochet, or Tunisian crochet.

Thanks so much to everyone who replied. You'll have many more chances to win pattern prizes throughout the FOYAL.

@fastenoffyal Almost done, finished blocking and just needs a button and weave in the ends. Now if I could just find the right size needle for the button! #knitting #FOYAL #FOYAL2024

@SolaceInStitches @fastenoffyal it is a participating designer and pattern but I had to buy the pattern from a different url than the one linked in the library because her website was having payment issues. Here is where I bought it: https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/p/next-chapter-cuff-knitting-pattern-by-knitwegian

@fastenoffyal I've been working on Ifan by Kat Riddell. Here it is where I got to last night. Am up to having just joined the front and back but getting a new photo is hard with migraine brain.

Here's the pattern! https://payhip.com/b/6Gkp

@fastenoffyal Nothing yet because I have to make a spreadsheet and make my pattern shortlist smaller and overthink everything and also figure out how to afford yarn this close to Christmas! But I'm trying, and I think that should count 😅
