Did you catch that funny segway? :)
In the second segment we get down to the good stuff! We're talking about the types of knitting competitions & KALs (which means knit-along for the newbies out there). We talk about why and why not jump on the bandwagon!
Do it for the challenge
* Knit a sweater in 17 days
* Knit your first sweater
Enter to learn new techniques
* Fair isle
* Beads
* Lace
Enter to finish all your WIPs
* For the prizes

Why not enter?
* Don’t want the pressure
* Requires steadfast, monogamous knitting
* Can take away the joy of knitting
* Not motivated by prizes or glory
* Don’t want others restricting your knitting
* Mystery schmystery
* Can't make the time to focus
