The Sharon Show Mystery KAL
$128.00
Casapinka and her beloved feline co-worker, Sharon from Security, are hosting a Mystery KAL. Apparently Sharon has done much (most?) of the designing! This is guaranteed to be a fun knit, with lots and lots of Cat-itude! The start date for the MKAL is August 7th and one clue is released each week for 6 weeks. Check out Casapinka's IG page for more details: @casapinka.
GO TO RAVELRY to SIGN UP FOR THE KAL and PATTERN CLUE RELEASES!
The Project: a rectangular shawl, using 4 skeins of contrasting fingering weight yarn. Each skein should be between 370-440 yds. The recommended needle size is US 4,5,6 (3.5, 3.75, 4 mm), and should be at least 24” long. The gauge is 22 stitches over 4” in stockinette and after blocking.
Difficulty: Beginner - there will be two versions of the shawl, Absolute Beginner, and Advanced Beginner. There will be a number of different stitch patterns, none of which will be difficult. It is the colour combinations that will give this shawl its STAR power.
Kits and Colour Choices: to make your colour choices stress-free, we have developed some new colours and carefully curated THREE (3) yarn kits for you! We are offering the kits on our luxurious Little Nettle Soft fingering weight yarn.
Colour Options available:
Party Time: Angora, Pink Flamingo, Pink Light Sabre, Picasso in Blue
Oceanside: River Rock, Ripple, Old Gold, Tropical Getaway
Vineyard: Softer Side of Linen, Grapesicle, Bee's Knees, Contented Grapes
Meow: Russian Silver Blue, Orange Tabby, Le Chat Noir, Blue Persian

SORRY - we are completely SOLD OUT of the Project bags!
We are so excited to partner with Sarah Schira of Imagined Landscapes for her new Gnome KAL this summer! As you probably suspect, we are enchanted with her knitted Gnomes, so we were delighted to have the opportunity to create kits for the Summer Gnome Knit-Along!
We created 4 kits that evoke our memories of summer holidays: lazing by the Seashore, enjoying the Floral fragrances, relaxing by the Fireside, and just Roaming around and exploring!

These mitts feature a Norwegian motif that has been embellished with bobbles for an extra dollop of whimsy! Worked with a gusseted thumb for comfortable wear, these mitts will keep your hands warm on crisp fall days, early spring walks, and summer evenings spent camping by the fire.
