If you enjoy a good mystery, then check out the Murder She Knit and Crochet club from Andrea of WoolenWomenFibers. This is a year-long yarn subscription and blanket make-along comes with a mystery, with your mini skeins as the “clues.” Detectives will be knitting the Northeasterly blanket by Melissa Alexander-Loomis or crocheting the Northeasterly blanket by Katy Stevens throughout the year and can also enter to win prizes by knitting or crocheting all 12 blanket chevrons each month.
The first installment ships in September, with the MAL kicking off October 25. Each month, private eyes receive 12 10g micro skeins in a DK-weight blend of 75/25 Superwash Merino/nylon, a card with scratch-off clues to solve the mystery while knitting or crocheting chevrons and an optional set of two SamsTinyTrinkets charms.
While the Yarny Ewes are exploring Scotland, Carolyn and Michelle of Olive & Two Ewe have debuted the Ewes & Coos collection, a four-skein set inspired by the sights and sounds of the Highlands and islands.
