So, today’s vlog may not be very long, but we’re going to talk about something very important. I want to talk about our 2021 Mystery Shawl Knit-Along that is coming this August.
Every year we do this project that is called the Mystery Knit-Along, the MKAL, and they are shawl projects with the idea that you don’t know what the final project will be. You won’t know what it’s going to look like or how the colours are going to interact, so it’s all a surprise. That’s part of the fun – working through clues every week for five weeks, and then you end up with a beautiful shawl.
Join me at today’s Taking Back Friday as I share more information about the Quiet Bay MKAL, and how we’re incorporating something new this year with the MKAL pattern designed by one of our Designers in Residence, Ruth Nguyen!
Now, go and get your yarn, get your Quiet Bay pattern and we will see you inside the School for the discussion! I’m excited to hear about whether you’re planning to join us for this year’s knit-along. and maybe about which colours you’ve picked. Please do leave a comment below and let me know what you think about MKALs and if you’ll be joining us this year!
