80s Cartoon themed SAL KAL 4oz fiber or yarn package Free Shipping



We are going to start the new year off with a bang! Do you remember all of the fun 80s cartoons you used to watch maybe still do? I thought we would do it a little different this time and have a SAL to KAL with a twist. This SAL will focus on the cartoon leading ladies like Jem, She-ra, Rainbow Bright, Smurfette, Gadget, Cheetara, Strawberry Shortcake, Red Fraggle.. who knows who else we will find here! Packages are now available in my artfire shop with free shipping!

You will choose a inspiration photo and post it in my ravelry thread here. You will also choose 4oz batt, 4 oz roving, or 100gm yarn. If you choose yarn please tell me if you would like sock, worsted or bulky. The goal of this SAL to KAL will be to make some funky style 80s leg warmers, headbands, or wrist bands! We will then post photos modeling our 80s gear and vote to win! There will be 3 prizes awarded for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. These will be something fun put together in the style of the 80s.

Packages will be sent out mid January and then we will have some time to spin and then knit your 80s gear!

Here are some of the pictures from my Pirates and Princesses SAL/KAL. I had lost my camera in the move so I borrowed a camera that has the wrong date *grin* Some of the pictures also came from the persons who received the items because they took nicer photos and gave me permission to use their photos. I hope you enjoy!
