Wow, I am overwhelmed by the response to the Odessa KAL, I think I have Kathy to thank for posting about the KAL on her blog. I have been enjoying reading your blogs and getting to know you, I hope that as the KAL progresses, I get to know more bloggers out there ;).
I saw some of you have already started on the project. Check out Aija's hat, I love the effect the color yarn has with the beads.
Speaking of beads, Grumperina has posted a great tutorial on stringing the beads for the project. I was able to find some inexpensive beads at my local craft store, no glass beads, but they will suffice to learn the new technique.
Scout has organized a Team Odessa for all of us to join in the great excitement of the 2006 Knitting Olympics. Since I will be making items for the Dulaan project, I think I will sneak one in there--probably beadless though.
I have picked some yarn choices:
Rowan Cashsoft in baby blue--a hat for my Mom.
Baby Cashmerino-a beadless hat for little Nyah
Jo-Ann Sensations Tesoro Yarn--100% wool--incredibly soft and it is machine washable ;)-a hat for me (maybe)
Don't forget to take the button, or make a button, here are a few choices--thank you Denise for creating two of them for us.
And don't forget, Scout's:
I got my yarn and needles yesterday and am not going to be very good about being patient for opening ceremonies!

The cashsoft is an amazing yarn. Congrats on the "shout out" on Grumperina's blog. You're famous now! :)
