2021 Pottstown Knit “In” Mystery Knit-A-Long

Hello Knitters!

As you know, we are unable to have our annual in-person Knit Out in January of 2021. In its place, we are having a Mystery Knit-A-Long (MKAL) that will run for 6-8 weeks starting January 16, 2021. Each week a clue will be released for a scarf/wrap in 2 sizes called “Stretch the Ride”, designed by Joy Jannotti in collaboration with other Brookside knitters. The minimum donation to participate in this MKAL is $20.00 with all the proceeds going to our charity, Stretch the Ride. For more information about Stretch the Ride, visit their webpage http://strpottstown.com/.
In addition to access to the the MKAL pattern, you will also receive an entry to our Basket Raffle.

To register, please email info@pottstownknitout.com for additional information.

After we receive your check, you will receive a confirmation that includes the links and codes you will need in order to make this beautiful Stretch the Ride shawl/wrap. The unique code will give you access to the pattern on Ravelry.com. You do not need to have a Ravelry account in order to use these links and codes. However, if you do have a Ravelry account, you can download the pattern into your library (if you log into Ravelry.com before you download it). Also if you have the pattern in your Ravelry library, you will get notifications when each clue is dropped. Members of Ravelry will also be able to participate on the group page where we can share our progress and ask questions. There is no charge to join Ravelry.

If you do not want to participate in the MKAL but would like to donate to our charity, simply make out a check to “Brookside Knits” for $20.00, or any amount, and send it to the same address below. Also, pass this information along to anyone who you think might be interested in participating and helping us raise money for Stretch the Ride.

Please include your name, address and email address along with the check. The pattern will be available as a PDF document; there will not be any paper copies distributed.

 

Mystery Knit-Along Fundraiser

Dear Knit Out Participants,

The members of Brookside Knits want to let you know that we will not be able to have an in person 2021 Knit Out. Given the current restrictions and rules, it would impossible to hold an indoor gathering of that size. We are all very disappointed that our event will not be held in the traditional venue. However, we are pleased to announce that we will hold a virtual event.

We are going to sponsor a Mystery Knit-Along (MKAL) that will run for approximately 6-8 weeks with a clue to the knitted object released each week. The object will be a wrap/scarf called the Stretch the Ride Wrap. There are two sizes, and it can be knit in either worsted or fingering weight yarn. There will be a charge of $20 to participate in this event with all of the proceeds going to our charity, Stretch The Ride. We hope that this MKAL will be an effective way to keep our Knit Out event alive and well until we can return to our in person event in 2022.

You will be receiving an e-mail in the next few weeks inviting you to register for the MKAL, and it will include the yarn requirements. Some of our vendors will be offering kits for the MKAL, or you can use your existing stash. The e-mail will also give you instructions on how to register for the MKAL and where to send your registration fee. We have also invited our vendors to sell their products to participants via their online stores. More details to come.

Thank you all for your support over the years!  We hope that you will participate in our MKAL this year and support Stretch The Ride.

Regards,

Brookside Knits
