The Mighty Mitred Square Knit Along

Dear Readers, 

It's pretty cold here in Eastern Ontario, Canada at the moment...so cold all I want to do is stay in and knit. Of course, that's not a bad thing right?? 

I am getting on really well with all my WIP's using the Gideon Method...and look forward every evening to pulling out and carrying on with each project in its rotation. Of course, one or two new projects have crept in...WHAT!!!! Yes, don't blame me, I was influenced ha ha. 

I have been enjoying watching Kay Litton's Vlogmas videos The Crazy Sock Lady and although she knits tons of socks (the woman is a knitting machine) she also makes gorgeous mitred square blankets with her advent and leftover sock yarn. So remembering I had some unfinished Mitred Square blankets...I dug them out.  


I was amazed to see none of them were finished, go figure, and none of them were actual blankets!!  So I decided I needed to rectify that....and naturally start a new Mitred Square Blanket....and then I thought, maybe you might like to join me in a Mitred Square Knit Along????  After all, you are bound to have leftover fingering weight yarn, just sitting there, right?

So here is the deal.  

*    The KAL will be year long, ending December 31, 2024.
*    Either start a new blanket or use an unfinished existing mitred square blanket.
*    Post photos of your newly added square in the Tobyknits and Friends Facebook Group.
*    Monthly chance to WIN a Tobyknits hand dyed 10g Mini to add to your blanket.
*    Live monthly Knit Alongs on Tobyknits Youtube Channel


For the next three days, check out my Tobyknits Youtube Channel for videos on the Mighty Mitred Square KAL info, How to Make a Mitred Square, and How to Join a Mitred Square.



Then the first LIVE knit along will be on the Tobyknits Youtube Channel on Friday January 26th at 11:00am EST.....

and another one in the Tobyknits and Friends Facebook Group at 2:00pm EST.  Both will be recorded, so if you can't make the LIVE....watch on replay.   I

 

I am so excited for this and hope you can join me in the Mighty Mitred Square adventure.  Till next time dear readers.....
