If you've ever had trouble counting the stitches in your gauge swatch, then this is the product for you! Knitters and Crocheters alike will love how easy it is to measure gauge with the EZ PZ Gauge Ruler.
The EZ PZ Gauge Ruler from Crazy Cat Designs magnifies your stitches at 2x magnification so they're easier to see and count. Marked every 1" (2.5cm) on top and every 1/2 inch (1.3cm) on bottom for accurate results over a 4" (10cm) section, you'll easily be able to keep your place as you count stitches. No more hard-to-see stitches or losing count! This may very well be the last gauge ruler you'll ever need!
Size: 1” (2.5cm) wide x 6¼” (15.9cm) long, including hand hold; $24.98 ea.
Let’s kick up our heels and cast on a little bit of excitement! This bandana-style mystery cowl is unlike any you’ve knit before. Almost all of the stitches are simple, yet they come together in unique and surprising ways to keep you guessing until the very end. Lines of colour and texture will dance across your needles as you create this happy new addition to your wardrobe. The clues are relatively short and easy to work, making this a quick project to add to your queue. Shop for yarn or dive into your stash, then join the knitalong discussions online. After all, a Line Dance is most fun when you join a crowd!
If my mystery wraps have intrigued you, but you’ve been looking for something faster or easier, this is the MKAL (Mystery Knit-A-Long) for you! This cowl was created to use less yarn, time, and money. It’s full of bite-sized clues filled with stitches that are easy to work, though the mysterious construction will keep you guessing about what surprises are coming next.
You can find all the yardages for each colour on both the pattern page and in the Getting Ready Guide that you can instantly download with your purchase. The guide also includes suggestions for colour choices, as well as how to organize those colours. As always, I will weigh in on colour order when you share photos in the Getting Ready chat on Ravelry.
Here are the important dates you'll need for this MKAL:
- March 6 - 1st clue released
- March 13 - 2nd clue released
- March 20 - 3rd clue released
- March 27 - 4th clue released
- April 17 - final day of MKAL; post finished object photos in the Ravelry group or send via email
What to expect: This design was created to bring JOY to your needles by playing with colour and simple textures. Almost all of the stitches are simple to work, but the unique construction will introduce both challenges and surprises. I’m always hoping to guide your knitting skills to the next level, so I’ve created video tutorials and diagrams to help along the way. It’s an intermediate pattern, but I love helping adventurous beginners level up! I want this to be a HAPPY new accessory, and a knitting experience that is so much FUN!
Finished dimensions: Shhhh… it’s a secret! I take the word 'mystery' to heart and like to keep you guessing. If I give you too many details, it won't be a surprise ;-)
I hope you'll join me for this exciting cowl adventure!
Happy knitting!

‘the talented volunteers’ – is that you?
A HUGE, personal THANK YOU from all of us here at London Yarns to all of you, our very kind and generous Makers who have contributed and continue to contribute to this worthwhile program.
ALL of your recently donated baby hats have been safely delivered to Brittany at LHSC, to be put to good use. Thank you.
Doesn’t it always make us feel good to give and help out where there is a need?!?
