Sooo my alter-ego Lola has been asking to design a Mystery Knit-a-Long (MKAL) forEVER… and I finally gave in. That means Lola’s Choice members have a pretty special kit for July. As with all my MKAL’s, Lola will have you thinking you are knitting a thong… but go with the Flowla, I promise you aren’t knitting underwear! Hint: it is a summer shawl!
**Flowla MKAL** is suitable for an adventurous beginner; all of Lola’s Choice patterns include in-depth video tutorials, and more advanced knitters will enjoy cruising through these elements. Flowla MKAL plays with unexpected construction, creative cast-on techniques, easy lace, and optional beads! The Lola’s Choice kit includes beads and stitch savers so you are ready to go.
You will learn A LOT from Flowla MKAL, and you will find all the support you need in my
Ravelry and
Facebook groups and
in the videos released for each clue! My groups have a "no knitter left behind policy,” and we LOVE to knit together!
