The Knit Guru

Hello all. This has been a crazy year for me, with building a house and suffering a head injury… so it has been so incredibly busy and challenging…. so this is my gift to you all, because it has meant the world to be able to login and just talk about yarn for a while.

Over the remaining days of November, I will be releasing a mystery KAL project for you all. There is no cost, and just whimsy. The project isn’t Christmas themed, but will make a wonderful gift along the way. I have decided to release this in November so that people can pick it up as they can, and everyone can be completed in time for Christmas morning. There are 12 videos of instructions…. but really there are 25 units to be made along the way…. so it kinda works for however you like an advent project.

What do you need?

You can 100% use stash yarns for this project. These do need to be in DK weight yarn. You will need colours in the following colourways:
2 shades of green – one darker than the other – 200gm of each
Golden yellow – 200gm
Tan or beige – 150gm
Grey – 150gm
Red – 50gm
Blue – 50gm
Charcoal – 200gm

I used Red Hut wool which comes in 50gm balls. If you want more details about this particular yarn, here is a link: https://knitting.co.nz/products/woolly-red-hut-8ply

4mm straight knitting needles.
Darning needle.
Scissors

Most of the patterns are written. There are 2 charts. Every piece has a video tutorial. You will need to know how to knit and purl, slip stitches, yarn over, and knit 2 together. This is definitely an easy project.

Pattern one will release tomorrow.
