The annual Casapinka (and Sharon From Security again this year) summer Mystery Knit-a-long starts August 14! AND we have three amazing yarn kits from Dream in Color with their new light sport weight yarn, Suzette! Suzette is 50% silk, 50% merino wool with 370 yards per skein - and oooh, the colors are so glorious!
Your purchase includes the yarn kit - and you just add the pattern and your US6 needles.
Here is a bit about the design from Casapinka:
The Snark-o-meter stars Sharon From Security (the snarkiest!), Fin from Interpol, with special appearances by Jean from I.T. and Kit Kat (the Resting Hiss Face.) There are 6 clues over 6 weeks. There is a pre-clue out now with a schematic and a Pre-Clue drink (The Flamethrower) so go and have some fun with it!
The Snark-o-meter is a design for a rectangular shawl, approx. 20” wide and approx. 64” long. You will receive 6 clues over 6 weeks along with Mocktail and Cocktail recipes from the crew. It’s quite adaptable to length but please do not ask us to modify the width for you. If you would like to adapt it, yourself, please do! Expect a lot of SNARK during the 6 weeks. If being told off by a cat is an issue, rethink this, immediately!
You will need 4 skeins of fingering weight yarn (approx. 375 yards each) and US size 6 and 4 needles, 24” or longer. One or two variegated skeins are just fine, and all four as speckles are fine as well. Color B should be tonal, solid, or speckled but not variegated. Single ply will also work, but you will have to size down a couple of needle sizes. Fades look great as well but will switch order throughout. Don’t forget the smaller Talk to the Paw pattern that will keep you busy if you are twiddling your thumbs before the start of this!
Level - Intermediate beginner. First timers should definitely attempt and as always there are some “easy” sections for options if needed.
