I've never worked so hard on a project this size for this long! Our apartment is finally finished and it's beautiful. I'm looking forward to relaxing and already have most of our things packed to move. A number of good friends and myself have done all of the construction from the very start to finish an I'm very proud.
I've been meaning to post pictures of the murals that I've painted from the paint we picked out at Home Depot. From pictures I had drawn months ago each wall took about a day and a half to sketch and paint. It was a nice break from installing sheet rock and tiling. I just hope the kids keep the creativity to the magnetic chalkboard I built for them in the corner of their room and not on these walls!
I apologize deeply about the KAL this month. I've been spending so much time at the new place that each day was fading into the next. I hadn't realized how much time was going by. I'm going to post the remainder of the rows now and hope that everyone will catch up quickly. I'll be home tomorrow for a little r&r and will post up the first few rows of the February Mystery Cloth KAL by tomorrow night.
I wanted to thank everyone for knitting along and being patient and understanding during this time. It has truly been exhausting to take care of a family and physically build a home for us at the same time.

Mary
LOVE what you have done with those rooms, what lucky kids :) Don't worry at all about the KAL, family ALWAYS comes first. Glad you are ok albeit exhausted! Remember to take care of yourself during this extremely busy time :)
Those walls are spectacular. Did you just draw them free-hand? Or did you design them (on paper or on the computer) and project the design on the wall? I'd love to see a blog post where you explain the process you used to get those fantastic walls!
Love, love, LOVE the Lightning McQueen! :-D And yay, more KAL. I was beginning to worry your new place had eaten you or something. ;-)
wow that is just fantastic......great...I would love to have such a room.....

Hi Kris,
I have seen every day for your page and waiting at the Kal.
Meanwhile, I bought the Valentine's Day and Spring Cloths and knitted.
The rooms are beautiful. My daughter asked if you can come over to us. But I think the road is going too far. My english is bad but i hope, you understand me.
Love Greetings
Birgit

Thank you for posting the last clue :)
OMG!!!!!!!!!! Will you come & paint my house ..... you are awesome & your kids are so lucky to have such a talented Mom!!!

I get to finish the January cloth! And sit in amazement at your creativity with painting...I have to use stencils to get something that nice...it's so modern yet 60s retro in your daughter's room...delightful! And no apologies needed, you're teaching me patience! Thanks for sharing! Tonja
Murals are beautiful! I LOVE your daughter's room!! She'll never want to move out !! Loved the January KAL and can't wait for February KAL to start.
WOW!!!!
wow! it's simple F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!!!!!
Loving the KAL...and those walls are beautiful. I did giant flowers and stuff myself on a huge wall in a baby shop I use to have. It was a lot of fun.
Just finished the January one and am excited about the February clues! I'm thinking now that i'm going to save them all and give them to my Mom as a Christmas present. Maybe... they're so cute I want to keep them for myself!
Those murals are amazing, Kris! You are so creative.
Wow! So beautiful! I want to learn to paint like that! :) Gorgeous!
WOW it is amazing. Your children are so very lucky to have such a talented mummy.
Only just found your blog and KAL so I'm still on with the January cloth. Loving how it is looking so far. Thanks for doing this.
Just finished the January KAL and eagerly awaiting the February clues. Hoping you got moved into your apt. before the snow came (or at least enough moved to have a campout in the new place). Tonja
Beautiful work! I'm sure the kids will love it!
No problem at all with the patten, I am a bit behind as well. :)
Is anyone knitting on needles larger than 3? I wonder if I use a 7 or 8, will the pattern still be seen? I'm knitting on 5 and can still see the pattern. I'm going to make a blanket, and thought the square might be softer with larger needles.
Almost halfway through February and no update. Are we skipping this month? :(
Wow, you are so talented and amazing. Would love to see more pictures. Thanks for sharing.
simply beautiful murals! The kids should love them...
thanks for sharing the pattern as well.
Such talent you have!
This was so much fun! Thank you for posting the KAL. I look forward to the next one when you have time.
Thanks for the great KAL! For the Knitting Olympics I am knitting a drop dead gorgeous pair of socks toe-up on 2 circs AND I'm finishing all UFO's in the house!!! I finsihed the Jan. dishcloth KAL last night and it is adorable. Thank you... I can see how busy you are with the move, decorating, etc... I appreciate your hard work!
I just finished the KAL for Jan. I am new to knitting and I enjoyed making this very much.
I still check every day. I'm not giving up!
I finally finished! It's beautiful. Thank you.
WOW those walls are amazing! Just beautiful!!
HI Kris,
The room murals are gorgeous and your children are adorable.
I have a question. IS there a place where the completed kals are written?
Thank you
Susan
PS just found the Dessert patterns. Don't know how I missed them. Em was in hospital for about a week, m/b that's how.
The patterns look delicious.
Beautiful murals!! Your kids are lucky to have you for their mom!!
You are obviously a multi-talented artist. I'm so envious! The murals are just beautiful. And I love your dish cloths. I've just bought a bunch of the collections (found you thru The Twist Collective) and now you're bookmarked. Thanks for a lovely couple of hours! -- SallyA
