OPEN MINDS Mystery KAL

OPEN MINDS Mystery Knit-A-Long!
Oh, it’s been a while since I designed a Mystery Knit-a-long and I had a GOOD TIME dreaming this one up for you!
Ready to have an OPEN MIND with me?

LIMITED NUMBER OF KITS WITH SURPRISE GOODIE HERE!

As with all of my MKALs the construction of Open Minds is unique and will probably blow your mind a little. I’ve kept the stitches simple, and allowed for options if you want to challenge your needles a bit more.

What I do know is that knitting Open Minds is sure to teach you A LOT, there is support in my Ravelry and Facebook groups, and as always we have a "no knitter left behind policy"!  If you ask, we are here for you!!!!

HOW IT WORKS: Sign up by purchasing the pattern! (Pattern is $6 until 5/12)

When you sign up you will be sent a pdf with a materials list, yarn ideas, and gauge requirements so you are ready to cast on with me on May 12th. On each scheduled clue release date an updated pdf will be sent to you with the next clue. There are videos made for each clue to help you along and zoom meet-ups planned so you can meet your friends!
