At the stroke of midnight - somewhere on planet earth - an all-new Knitting Game MKAL will begin. That’s right! We’re kicking off 2021 with a brand new Knitting Game - Box of Chocolates!

As Forrest Gump said, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get!”

Our Box Of Chocolates is full of surprises, too! An oversized, Millenium Falcon shaped shawl, this is most definitely one of my “house cozies”! A manor house this time!

Will you get a chewy nougat? Or maybe an orange cream? Or maybe you’ll get a chocolate-covered blueberry! You’ll never know unless you play along!

What is the Knitting Game? It’s a game I first introduced ten years ago! For this version, most weeks there will be three different patterns to choose from - but you can only knit one!

Come join us for all the mayhem, madness and fun on my group - Criminal Knits…for the Serial Knitter in all of us.

You’ll receive a “Welcome” letter when you purchase the pattern. Be sure to read it over carefully! Clue #1 will be released at midnight on New Year’s Eve, time zone to be determined!
