Here is something we will be joining in with ..... you can email them direct to be included on their list, or their page.......
Victoria Methodist Church in Bristol is excited to be hosting another mystery knitalong this Lent!
This year we will be knitting a scarf (or those with a bit more time can knit a wider wrap/stole version) over the course of Lent: the exact design of the scarf is a mystery, and will be revealed as knitters progress through the project!
We will cast on together on Wednesday 22nd February, and knitters will have a scarf finished in time for Easter day on the 9th April.
Knitters will receive daily knitting instructions by email each week; these will be accompanied by daily reflections/meditations which have kindly been written by seven different Ministers and worship leaders from the Bristol circuit and beyond.
Some general information (such as yarn/needles needed etc) and the pattern for a practice swatch will be sent out on the 1st February, and the weekly emails will go out from the beginning of Lent.
The pattern has been designed to be accessible to knitters of all abilities: if you can cast on and off, and can work the basic knit and purl stitches you should be able to join in! (There are some different stitches introduced which might be new to some, but they will be fully explained as we go along, and there will be accompanying videos for those liking extra support! And easier options/alternatives are given throughout.)
If you're not already on the mailing list you can sign up to take part by emailing Helen at: [email protected]
Facebook users would also be very welcome to join the group 'Victoria Methodist Bristol Knitalongs', where a lovely community of knitters across the world share progress, ask questions and chat about the reflections (and all pattern/reflection documents will be posted on here too).
With best wishes from Lyn, Helen and all of us at Victoria.
