Victoria Methodist Church in Bristol is excited to be hosting another mystery knitalong this Lent!
This year we will be knitting a prayer shawl (or blanket) over the course of Lent: the exact design of the shawl is a mystery, and will be revealed as knitters progress through the project!
We will cast on together on Ash Wednesday (14th February) and knitters will have their shawl finished in time for Easter day on the 31st March.

Knitters will receive daily knitting instructions by email each week; these will be accompanied by daily reflections/meditations which have kindly been written by eight different Ministers and worship leaders from the Bristol circuit and beyond.

The Welcome letter, which includes general information (such as yarn/needles needed etc) and the pattern for a practice swatch will be sent out this Friday 19th January, and the weekly emails will go out from the beginning of Lent.

The pattern has been designed to be accessible to knitters of all abilities: if you can cast on and off, and can work the basic knit and purl stitches you should be able to join in!

If you’re not already on the mailing list you can sign up to take part by emailing Helen at: learning@vic-methodist-bristol.org.uk

Facebook users would also be very welcome to join the group ‘Victoria Methodist Bristol Knitalongs’, where a lovely community of knitters across the world share progress, ask questions and chat about the reflections (and all pattern/reflection documents will be posted on here too).

With best wishes from Lyn, Helen and all of us at Victoria.
