Starting October 1st we will begin our fourth WPKnits Club Mystery Knit Along for 2016. As we knit our projects, we will learn all about this amazing country’s history, food and people.

This will be a single color crescent shawl with some hearty lace in a worsted weight yarn.

You will have the option of making three sizes: a small, medium, or large.

The clues will be spread out over 4 weeks with simple, non-stressful sections released each week.

If you’ve never done a Mystery Knit Along before, you are in for a treat.  Discovering the mystery along with your fellow knitters is the best.

Each Clue will be added to the one(s) previous, so in the end, you’ll have the final pattern in whole.

The MKAL discussions will be in the Wild Prairie Knits group, so come and join us.

 

Stunning String Studio is offering limited “Oktoberfest Shawl” MKAL yarn kits in your choice of over 125 stock colors and all 3 sizes.

Join us as we virtually knit our way through Paris! Logo (Custom)

On April 1st we will continue our year of Mystery travels in Paris, France. This city has inspired me to create a rectangular, lacy wrap in 2 colors with some interesting construction, new yarn bases (sparkle) and optional beadwork.

Over the course of our eight weeks, we will be creating this exquisite shawl while we get to know all about Paris and its amazing history, architecture, people and food.

Our lovely shawl is created from two contrasting colors of fingering weight yarn.   Beading is optional, but a great introduction to using beads.

The clues will be spread out over 8 weeks with simple, non-stressful sections released each week.

Where will you keep your project over the 7 weeks?

Plum Creek Project Bags

As many of you know, Ann from Stunning String Studios and I worked very closely with a local seamstress to create what we consider the perfect project bags.

These bags are excellent for organizing and/or transporting your knitting and crochet projects.

 

  • We offer fabric choices that are classy and elegant and fit into a modern woman’s style, allowing you to easily take your project into a professional working environment.
  • The size allows you to keep your yarn, work in progress and accessories inside the bag wherever you go.
  • Transporting projects can be hard on yarn.  We use satiny linings exclusively so it slides over your yarn without grabbing at it and fuzzing it up.  All bags also have a satiny interior pocket.
  • The top strap is very versatile.  It can hang from your wrist or an armrest (works especially well on airplanes), and is great for storing multiple projects on hooks or doorknobs.

 

 Special Offer

$5 off any Project Bag purchase when you use Code*: SpringBag5 

Offer is good through 2-28-2014
