Joji Mystery Wrap
BEFORE BEGINNING

Please read before signing up! ❤️

Welcome to another rare mystery knit-along adventure with Joji. In the quest to knit this beautiful wrap (stole), we will have fun unveiling each clue while playing with color and texture.

I wouldn’t want to make any knitter disappointed with the finished outcome, but the point of a Mystery Knit Along is not knowing what you’ll be making, there’s always that risk…

Therefore, here are some facts about the wrap that will help you decide if you will like to embark on this project:

  • The shape is a true rectangle. This wrap can be worn as a wrap, blanket scarf or even as a blanket.
  • Approx. measurements are 26½ x 72” (66 x 180 cm) blocked.
  • It has a graphic look, but it is still classic.
  • You will need yarn in 5 colors and you will use up a lot of your yarn, so you need full skeins.
  • The total approx. yardage is 1700 yards (1555 m). It is a BIG wrap. Please be aware of this.

There will be 5 different clues, spread out over 5 weeks.

  • It is good for all levels. There will be TV knitting and more engaged knitting. You will sure have fun.
  • There is no brioche involved. There are no short rows either.
  • There is a little bit of simple lace, about 10% of the total project.
  • There is a lot of garter stitch.

The cost of the pattern is $4.00 and can be purchased through Ravelry. 
Yarn can be purchased in our shop. We even have several color kits put together if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed!

You will need yarn in 5 colors in fingering weight and you will use
up a lot of your yarn, so you do need full skeins.
– The total approx. yardage is 1700 yards (1555 m). It is a BIG wrap folks.

 

Are you ready for some Football??? Join Team Twisted in the Scoreboard KAL

Football season is almost here!  For me, this is a big YIPEEEE!  For others, this time of year is painfully boring.  We have teamed up with Skacel and Michelle “Knit Purl” Hunter to help put more fun into football.

Scoreboard KAL

Join us as we knit-a-long with our favorite teams and document every point scored in this football season by knitting one row in the round to represent each point.  You pick your teams two colors, the main color represents your teams points, and the secondary color represents the opponents points.  When the game is over, knit a round of a third complimentary color and then start again next weekend.  You simply knit in the round for each point scored and end up with a really fun cowl representing the whole season.  FUN!!!

Here’s the description from ScoreboardKAL.com

“Slated to kick off with the beginning of the football season, the 2015 Scoreboard KAL will allow fans to capture their favorite team’s season in the form of a hand-knit SCOREBOARD cowl!”

Check out their website and stop by The Twisted Purl to get your supplies. Yarn is scheduled for delivery September 1, 2015.

We will link to the free pattern as soon as it’s available!

TEAM TWISTED will be knitting when each point is scored during all the Arkansas Razorbacks, UCA Bears, Hendrix Warriors, Dallas Cowboys, and or the Conway Wampus Cats Varsity.  You don’t have to do all the teams, just pick your favorite or a loved ones favorite (just think of what a cool gift this would make for the football fanatic in your life)  If you miss a game and need your team’s knitting stats, we’ll even have an option to sign up for weekly stat updates.

Get your needles ready and let’s kick of the 2015 football season in crafty style!
