TdFKAL DNF
A back, a left front and a tiny bit of right front is as far as I got on my Tour project. Here's the left front:

TdFKAL Progress
I have a finished section to show today. It's the back. Pretty easy so far as it was lots and lots of stocking stitch and I just had to remember to do the raglan shaping on each edge.

I'll work on the left front next.

Tour de France KAL Knitting Begun
I'm making some progress and am liking the Mirage fiber. Despite its appearance, it's hardly splity at all! I've started with the jacket back section and gotten far enough that you can start to see what the yarn looks like knitted up. This will be a nice cool fabric to wear during the summer.
The lower back section.
A bit of the rice stitch border.
So far, this Bergere de France pattern is well written, but it is a very simple top, so there isn't much to the pattern. Typically, if I get confused about a pattern it is at the neckline, but that is a ways off at the moment. I'll keep you posted about it.

Tour de France KAL '08
I'm set to cast on for my second Tour de France KAL and have chosen the yellow jersey category again. I've picked a project that should be pretty easy and hope to make a lot of progress on it during the Tour, if not finish it. I've been assigned to Team Lampre, lead by Kristen.
In the spirit of the KAL, I am using a pattern and fiber from a French Company, Bergere de France, though I placed my order for supplies from a UK source called IntoKnit.
I'm planning to knit the 'Getaway Jacket' which is in the Spring/Summer Mag, number 511.
I've purchased the yarn shown in the picture, a cotton synthethic blend. I hope I like it ok! I don't have experience knitting with fibers like this, but it seems like it will be light to hold which is important for knitting in hot weather. I just hope it isn't too splity.
The pattern and materials are practically sold as a kit, so I opted to also buy the black buttons shown in the picture.
