This is a really fun project, with some neat skills to try out, and it is QUICK. I did about 3/4 of it while watching my son's lacrosse tourney this month, and so that means that it must be fast. (I'm not a particularly fast knitter.) Each week has a really manageable amount of knitting...we should be doing this one in four clues.
The pattern is $6. We'll provide a set of "clues," the instructions for just a piece of the project, each week. The first clue is ready for tomorrow; each subsequent clue will be ready on Thursday of the week until we're done. (We think this should take four clues, maybe five.) At the conclusion you can pick up a full copy of the pattern, so that as you make it again and again you'll have the "real" instructions.
You'll need five colors of a worsted-weight yarn, 50 grams of each color. Cascade 220 works great. So would Mission Falls 1824 Wool, or Cascade 220 Superwash. Cottons would also work, but they aren't quite as easy to work with for this project. We do have some kits made up with our choice of five colors of Cascade 220, 50 grams of each. These kits are available for $20 each. This amount of yarn will allow you to make the project a second time, although in a different order of color. You'll also need a size 7 needle, 16" long.
Stop by soon so you can get started. Cast on and join in!
