As You Wish: An unconceivable MKL byMary Annarella

I can not help it!  It is an addiction!  I wanted to wait …but then the colors I want might be gone….and you know how I feel about Miss Babs!  And I just finished the Snark O Meter.  All except putting the fringe on. And so I just pushed purchase…..the new Avon yarn in the colorway:  Prepare to Die

Mary Annarella (of The Knights Who Say Knit fame) is bringing us yet another fun and beautiful MKAL. 

So here is the story.  And it seems it is often my story ....that one thing happening in my life connects to another  thing in my life in a coincidental way.  I was reading the King Arthur trilogy written by Mary Stewart.  I started it at Christmas when I needed a book that was purely entertainment.  So I had knights and battles and Kings and Princesses and high adventure on my mind.

I finished my snark o meter and blocked it and began to think about my next knitting project.  Absolutely I would knit something that uses yarn from my stash!  And then I received the e-mail from Miss Babs about As you Wish. 

The designer of As You Wish, Mary Annarella,  had a MKAL recently called The Knights Who Say Knit.  Dar says that this is a reference to Monty Pythons Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975).

Mary Annarella  says this about the last MKAL:

The Mystery Knit-A-Long that is not dead yet!

I seek the finest and silliest knitters to join me in a this quest for the grail! You have proven yourself worthy--Will you join us? There will be coconuts! Unladen swallows! And you must bring us….a SHRUBBERY! 

And about this newest project she says:

This pattern (including the Prologue above...) is an homage to The Princess Bride, which was based on William Goldman’s book of the same title (which in turn was based on S. Morgenstern’s Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure). The film is a true classic

 How can I miss the opportunity to do the MKAL, read the book, and watch the movie again one more time?  TOO much fun!  Could not help myself!

I am writing again on Feb 21 as the first clue will drop tomorrow morning.  I am READY!   

I wound the balls over the weekend!  I have chosen the red as C1, the grey/blue as C2, the Gold as C3 and the Light grey as C4.

I can hardly wait!

I enthusiastically started this wrap....and after a few days decided I was not interested in continuing.  So this yarn should be around for another project.  Pretty colors!
