The first clue of the Mystic Cuppa KAL was released yesterday. There are definitely some speedy knitters in the KAL this time – we already have seven completed clue 1’s posted in the Knit & Knag Designs group on Ravelry.
Katherine in Nebraska was first to post, and she’s making this beautiful version in purple and green.
There are several others as well. And so far, we don’t have two that look the same – different colour choices all around.
Just the other day, my friend Sarah was talking about a short story that she read that ended with the following sentence: “Women who sit together, knitting and talking should never be underestimated.”
In an online KAL, we’re all part of a global “togetherness”, in which we’re all knitting together, even if we’re in different physical locations. I know that some of you have local groups in which several of you are knitting Mystic Cuppa, and others are following along through the web. Some of you are here for your first Mystic KAL, and others have been around since the very beginning (yes, I’m looking at you, Kirsten and Nicole).
For me, the absolute best part of these knitalongs is getting to know so many other knitters. So, on that note, a warm welcome to all of the new faces, and a giant welcome back to everyone else. I hope you’ll introduce yourselves and join the talking as well as the knitting. I’m really looking forward to hearing from you and sharing in your progress.
If you’re not already in the Knit & Knag Designs group – come join us and say hello!
