Red Heart Knit A Long

I have decided to make Variation on a frill from Knitty for the Red Heart KAL. I was waffling on the pattern because I had my heart set on using the ruby merino for this project & there is no way I will have enough of it. Well, caution be damned! I am just going to dye some of the blue-faced leicester I had slated for another project & augment the merino with it. If that doesn't work, maybe I'll just save the merino for something else & ply the leicester with tussah silk... mmmm, that's an idea
