Our Spring KAL is getting under way! This year we're all knitting Nightshift - a wonderful and colorful easy knit shawl that is sure to delight you as you knit it AND wear it! Read all the details, PLEASE!
First, you can find the pattern here. The kit does not include the pattern since I've found a lot of you already have it. The kit includes all the yarn you need to make this gorgeous shawl in a multitude of colors. We've included 2 price options - Flexible is a little less money and yarn and means that you are ok manipulating your colors to maximize your yarn without worrying about the exact color choices the pattern indicates. (I did this - I changed some of the colors because I wanted certain colors to meet and then to maximize what I had left in the end - using 8 balls instead of 12). Maximum is more yarn and money - with leftovers of each if you want to make it longer and adhere exactly to the color changes indicated in the pattern.
You can start knitting as soon as you get your yarn, but make sure you have a Section 5 progress picture to post by Thursday, May 14th so that you can be entered to win a prize! We'll have a few section completion drawings like this throughout May. Then a grand prize drawing for everyone who has posted their finished project by Saturday, June 20th! You must purchase your yarn for the KAL at Island Yarn (in store or online) to be eligible for any of these drawings.
You can also use 2 balls of Ito or 2 Mad balls for the whole shawl - but when you order, please leave a note that you are participating in the KAL!
These kits SHIP for FREE to the US because we always ship for free over $75!
