Wild Stripes

The excitement is building for Stephen West’s next MKAL - Geogradient.

Joining a Mystery KAL is a leap of faith. You don't have any clue what the shawl will look like. You aren't sure which colours to choose or what order to knit them in. But the fun factor is very high. You can't wait until Friday morning when the next clue comes out. It seems like a lot of knitting but you will be shocked at how easy it is to keep up. Stephen writes a very good pattern and he has videos for techniques that might be new to you.

If you just can't do it, watch along in Stephen's Ravelry group to see pictures of the progress. Maybe you'll join a bit late or when the shawl is finished. 

I’m going to knit the shawl this year. I’ve missed out on the last few and need to join the fun again. What colour? I think kit PPS - 4 but I’ll wait to see what kits are left when the MKAL starts. 

Here are the MKALs that I completed in the past.

Building Blocks

Earth & Sky - the first MKAL. You can see how the shawls have evolved over time. This was knit in the fall of 2011.

We had a huge restock of Addi needles today. YAY!!! There were some colours of Zauberball Crazy as well.

We have more Solemate sock kits coming from Freia Fibres next week. These five kits are brand new. I will get them online as soon as I know that the parcel is on the way to us.

We've selected key colors in the related gradient and made a striped yarn for socks that are a little bit wilder!

This is the snuffle mat. We put food in here and the dogs dig to find the kernels. All three love it. They’ve already eaten and Fred has gone back to find more food. We do it while we’re eating to keep them busy. And to keep Fred out of trouble 😀
