I am proud to present to you the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/striped-tooth-shawl">Striped Tooth Shawl</a>.  This is one of my newest patterns and has quickly become one of my favorites as well.  I have decided to kick off a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/are-you-a-fan-of-grace-akhrem-join-us/2854948/1-25">KAL</a> (Knit Along) for this pattern on the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/are-you-a-fan-of-grace-akhrem-join-us">Ravelry group</a> and I hope you'll be able to join us. Please read below for more details and how to win the KAL PRIZE!!!

We will get started on the KAL in this <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/are-you-a-fan-of-grace-akhrem-join-us/2854948/1-25">thread</a> in the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/are-you-a-fan-of-grace-akhrem-join-us">Ravelry group</a> on Saturday, March 15th. Here we can share photos, questions, comments, etc. This is one of my newest patterns and I absolutely love it (if I may say so myself). The KAL will end Saturday, April 5th so that we can get a little bit of a break before we jump into the next one.

Three <em>active</em> KAL participants will receive a prize. The first place winner will receive a copy of <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/stitch-mountain">Stitch Mountain</a> signed by Laura Zander and myself as well as two skeins of <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/rowan-felted-tweed-dk">Rowan Felted Tweed</a> in the orange and white color featured in the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/slip-stitch-beanie-3">Slip Stitch Beanie</a> pattern. The second and third place winners will receive three pattern PDFs (from my Ravelry store) of his/her choice.

Wondering what it means to be an active participant? The participant must post progress and pictures frequently in this thread. To be eligible to win you must finish your <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/striped-tooth-shawl">Striped Tooth Shawl</a> on or before the KAL end date and post a picture by then as well.

Those are all the rules, and as always play nice (but you always do). Please feel free to ask any questions about anything related to the KAL in this thread. I look forward to getting started on this piece!
