 <title>Plan for the New Year: 2007 KALs and Swaps</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/13994</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;One of the activities that keeps the knitting blogger going is sharing their work; common goals mean shared delights and agonies.  To help the knitter stay organized throughout the year, Natalie at Xavier Knits has organized all the &lt;a href=&quot;http://knitalongs.xaviermusketeer.com/&quot;&gt;Knit-A-Longs &lt;/a&gt;(known as KALs) and Swaps for the year.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So if you&#039;ve imagined that it would be nice to knit a cozy sweater for &lt;a href=&quot;http://manlygiftalong.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Link Text&lt;/a&gt;the guy in your life... there&#039;s a KAL for that (ends in January).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Want to be sure that next Christmas you&#039;re presents are done?  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spinnerellasattic.typepad.com/holiday_headstart/&quot;&gt;Holiday Headstart KAL &lt;/a&gt; may help you stay on track.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the year goes along, there are bound to be interesting swaps and exchanges.  Last year, one of the most favorite was a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.girliscrafty.com/archives/000359.html&quot;&gt;second sock syndrome swap.&lt;/a&gt;  After knitting one sock of the pair, you would mail that sock, the pattern, and the rest of the yarn to another to finish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So grab your shiny new 2007 calendar, and start thinking about knitting along...&lt;/p&gt;
