Mystery Knitalong Day 1 is History

Some people were up late last night waiting for clue #2 to be posted--well, until they read my email telling them it was safe to go to bed as no clues would be posted until today.

The Wednesday's Knotty Knitters group continued the buzzzz this morning waiting on the clue. Finally at around 10:30 am, the clue was posted. One person even had her laptop in the shop so she got the clue while she was here, and pictures of the first completed Clue 2 have been posted on Ravelry by a knitalong member.

This evening we had the Knitalong Support Group busily working on clue #2. There were 10-12 people working/talking away.

It's great to see people excited about knitting and eager for the next clue (which will be posted tomorrow between 10am and noon).

Thanks to everyone who is participating!

If you want to join the fun, give us a call, it's not too late.

Don't Be Left Out of theTYF Mystery Bag Knitalong

T Minus 15 Days

It seems that a lot of people really like a good Mystery!

Within 48 hours of announcing the Mystery Bag Knit-Along, we were sold out of two (Petroglyph and Dynasty) of the seven Yarn Kit color ways and a significant dent had been made in the others.


However, fear not, Sherlock has come up with a solution and more yarn is on its way (everything should be in place by Thursday).


If you haven't done a Mystery Knitalong before here's how it works: You'll purchase a Yarn Kit at Tempe Yarn & Fiber, choosing from 1 of 7 yarn colorways (see below) to make your own Mystery Bag.

You'll then be invited to join a private Yahoo group where you'll receive daily Clues, beginning on June 11th, for 23 days. As you complete the clues, you'll begin to see how the pieces fit together as the Mystery Bag evolves.


Here are the Yarn Kit color ways:
