For sparKAL particpants

If your name doesn't appear in the list in the early entry in this thread, its because I made a special page where I will upload pics of FOs. This is so everything can be collected in one place, rather than in a number of posts in a thread, and can be accessed easily from the menu bar. Try going to http://www.glittyknittykitty.co.uk/sparkal.html.
If you are still not included in the list, then please do email me (glittrgirlatgmaildotcom) and I will make sure you are added. This special page should eb the most up to date.

Knitted with Rowan Cotton Glace in Shoot with matching sequins, on 3mm addi turbo ciculars. The pattern is by Eleanor Yates, the Rowan Consultant at my local John Lewis, and was free with the purchase of the yarn.

I've cast on

Threading sequins takes ages, but I have done one tub, and have cast on in the lovely Maritime shade of Rowan Cotton Glace and matching sequins. I'm using 3mm needles.
