How to join the knitalong? It is best to do this after you have already purchased the yarn and have it in hand. Click “Cast On” on the top right corner of this pattern page, to create your project. Upload the photo of your Artyarns yarn to your project page. (This must be a photo you have taken yourself, not one you have found online.) Please fill out the yarn information. Both yarn types are required and they must both be Artyarns yarns. On or about September 7, I will send out Part 1 of the pattern to everyone who has created a project page. When you complete Part 1, post a photo, and I will send out Part 2. There is no deadline to complete the knitalong, just a deadline to post Part 1 photo by October 31. All other parts can be completed at your leisure.

A discussion group has been started to discuss yarn options, colors, etc. here.
