Stitch Therapy Knit Along: STILL KNITTING

FROM MAXCINE

The name of the shop is Stitch Therapy and this Mystery Blanket Stitch-along is where the name of the shop comes from. Seven years ago when I taught at another shop I would give my knitting circle students a stitch a week to knit. The idea behind this was to get knitters comfortable with reading stitch instructions and executing the stitch patterns in hopes that when they found a future project that intrigued them they would not be intimidated by the complexity of the stitch pattern or the detail to make the sweater or shawl etc.

Volumes will be released every four weeks

This is an opportunity for you to experiment with a variety of knitting stitches and textures. In the end the 16 individual squares will be combined to create a small blanket.

This weeks forcast in NYC is rain, rain, rain -- curl up with a good Mystery.., Crawl into your yarn stash and explore one of the sixteen stitches from the four volume Mystery Blanket Stitch Along from Stitch Therapy -- Free download!
