Quick Intro

Hello All!
I signed up for this KAL because I have never, ever read Anne of Green Gables.
I'll pause for a moment while everyone gasps.
It's true.
I found out about this KAL from my friend Karoline and thought, well now's my chance to read the books! So here I am!
I downloaded the free recordings from LibriVox and even after listening to random people reading the book the magic of the story came through! And because I have to have books too - I am a true bibliophile - I got mine in the mail yesterday from Amazon, so I am quickly trying to catch up with everyone.
But I have to say there is something about which I am extremely disappointed: I feel completely cheated that I didn't read Anne years ago!
Has anyone else ever felt that way?
I still have to decide what to knit - and I've been ruminating on that for a bit, but I'll figure it out eventually, so no pictures to share just yet.
It's great to be a part of this KAL and meet people who love this story of Anne (with an "E" - there's no other way to spell it!).

Hello!

Hi, and sorry I'm late checking in. I decided October would be UFOctober for my knitting - time to finish all those UnFinished Objects - but wasn't sure how that would fit with the AGG KAL. Well, I decided that "finish what you start" would be a value that Marilla & Matthew instilled in Anne, so finishing what I have started works with the Anne theme!

If you're still looking for a project, White Lies Designs (link) has some beautiful romantic clothing to knit, and lots of the patterns are free. (I'm not sure Mrs. Rachel Lynde would approve of the company name, but what can you do?)

Truant!

Hey, Anne-ites. I've been signed up for this KAL for awhile, but never said hello, partly because I'm lazy and partly because I didn't know what to say. Anne was my constant companion during the long Alaska winters while I was growing up, and even now when I spend Christmas with my mother, we spend all of Boxing Day watching the Anne movies. Yesterday we read "The Lady of Shalott" in my English class, and I spent a happy hour dreaming of PEI instead of listening to the professor; Victorian poetry always reminds me of Miss Shirley. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to make for the KAL, but I've hauled out my books and put them on the living room bookshelf for a start. Now comes the job of resisting temptation until the first of October!
