MYSTERY KNIT-A-LONG 2017
Monday, February 20, 2017 – Mystery Knit-a-Long
With today being a Holiday Monday and the fact that most business, including our shop, are closed for Family Day, we thought you might have a few spare minutes to enjoy reading about our upcoming Mystery Knit-a-Long!
Are you feeling adventurous? Are you up for some ‘ambiguous’ knitting???
London Yarns will be hosting a
Mystery Knit-A-Long (MKAL)
starting early March 2017!
London Yarns is pleased to be offering another Mystery Knit-a-Long
Suitable for ALL Knitters, from Beginner through to Experienced
With pricing in tiers to fit varying budgets
Please join in the fun!
Starting early March 2017, every Monday, for approx. 6 weeks, you will be given a new clue with knitting instructions to help you complete the project. As to what the final project is that you are knitting – well, this is the ‘mystery’ part!
This time around, we are offering two categories of MKAL – “Standard/Beginner” & “Challenging/Experienced”. The Standard MKAL is suitable for ALL knitters (including beginners that are familiar with the knit stitch, purl stitch & ready to learn some pattern reading). The Challenging MKAL is for those of you that want to broaden, hone, or advance your knitting skills to some degree and are open to learning something new.
To receive these Clues you can drop into the shop to pick up them up each week or we can email them out to you – whichever you prefer. Upon completion, you will receive a finalized pattern.
Jen, our MKAL moderator, will be posting updates on Ravelry and she, as well as the rest of the staff, will be available to assist you through any questions or knitting help – further details to follow.
We will begin taking registrations for the London Yarns Mystery KAL starting tomorrow, Tuesday, February 21st. You can register in person or by phone at 519-474-0403. The cost will be your choice, depending on which MKAL Yarn Option Package you choose to work with and after registering, you will receive a list of requirements (i.e. yarn, needles, etc) so that you can be ready to begin when you receive your first clue.
We hope you can join us; these KAL’s are a lot of FUN!!
Don't forget, we are closed today for the Family Day Holiday. Be sure to contact us tomorrow (Tuesday) for more information, to choose your colourway, and to register.

Since we are Featuring the Katia Ombre Yarn, we want to offer you a few more options for you to be able to work with this amazing new yarn!! Sooooo, what else can you make with an Ombre colour-pack? Well, Katia has been kind enough to offer 3 free Shawl Pattern downloads. These patterns are specifically designed for use with the 6 colours that come in each colour-pack.
SHAWL 1: A Simple Garter Stitch Triangle Shawl with gradient colour changes.
You don’t have to be part of our MKAL to order and work with this wonderful new Katia Ombre yarn!
Should you want to make any or all of the above shawls, for example, or any other project you may have in mind, you can still place your pre-order with us by the end of this week.
Do you know what else would look amazing in any of the 7 gradient colourways of Katia Ombre???? What about Cathy’s Drop Stitch Scarf or Wrap? Just cast on with the lightest or darkest colour in your colour pack and when one ball runs out, switch to the next colour in line. Simple & easy to do, yet it looks amazing!!
