Last Day to Join KAL

Just a reminder that today is the last day if you want to join my Secrets of the Shawl knitalong. I'll close the group after midnight tonight. [Membership is now closed.] Clue 2 goes up tomorrow. As an added incentive, here are the prizes that will be awarded to a few lucky people who complete a shawl during the KAL.
One prize will be “Designer’s Choice.” Another will be for the “Group Favorite.” I’ll tease you pictures of a potential third prize – award criteria to be determined. I'm open to suggestions on that third one.

The prizes are:

Green – A Cascading Leaves Shawl Kit
A copy of the shawl pattern, size 5 circular knitting needles, 1.7 skeins of Malabrigo lace weight in water green, a notebook with pen for notes, and a set of stitch markers (see pic below).

Red – A Celtic Hearts Shawl Kit
A copy of the shawl pattern, size 8 circular knitting needles, 3 skeins of Fleece Artist Blue Face Leicester DK in red, a notebook with a pen for notes, and a set of stitch markers (see pic below).

Gold – A Love Bird Shawl Kit
A copy of the shawl pattern, size 7 circular knitting needles, 2 skeins of Louet Gems Opal in Goldilocks, a notebook with a pen for notes, and a set of stitch markers (see pic below).

Here are the stitch markers that go with the shawl kits above. These beautiful stitch markers are made by my friend, Jamie. [If you're interested in purchasing some of these for yourself, contact mommabear6976 on Ravelry or email her at mommabear6976 AT yahoo DOT com. She's selling a set of six stitch markers for $7 plus $1 for shipping.]

I've been very busy getting everything ready behind the scenes for this KAL, knitting Clue 1, and working on some other projects.
