Here comes my entry .. I'm so excited, I never blogged before and neither joined a Knit-Along, so this is really it ! I'm Ursula from Germany, are there any other knit-alongers from outside the US ?
About the color of MY Audrey: I selected "Jewel", one of the Summer 2003 colors. This is a rich color, a deep purple-burgundy shade. After reading the colorstory below (thanks, Theresa !) I now know why: my skein must have a yellowish undertone because sadly I look really awful in yellow and orange shades ! I love to wear red, but it has to have a blue-purple tone in it, otherwise I look like I had a few nights with no sleep !
I cheated just a little: I started with my Calmer on March 31 and intended to do a gauge swatch (honestly, I did). But instead I started right away with a sleeve and - the gauge is just right ! The yarn feels wonderful and soft, a pleasure to knit with. So the first sleeve is well on it's way.
We're going on a skiing vacation for one week starting tomorrow, so sadly I will not be able to follow everybody else get started, but I'll be back online right after Easter and hopefully there will be lots of pics from Audreys in Progress !
Everybody have a great week and happy holidays.
Greetings from Germany, Ursula
Hi Ursula! I am also going to knit Audrey - and I live in Germany too. Let us keep in touch.

I live in the Netherlands and I`ve just ordered my yarn for Audrey. A late starter, but then better late then never.
