 Jen Daly. Gives us an opportunity to create a winter banner—free instructions begin 11/27. 

Isn’t this great!  I’ll be making this to add to brown headed daughter’s table runners or it could use it as a banner through January.

Advent socks!  Yay!  Join in this festive knitting project--find this group on Instagram

and beginning December 1

A different type of Advent count down is this Advent Wreath Sew Along--the pattern is free to print; each day you stitch one of the motifs with thread and stitch of your choice--find this on Instagram at stitchingdownto.Christmas

This is one of my favorite designers.  Think I've knit every Advent scarf she has offered.  You can find her on Ravelry--Tricia Weatherston

This years scarf is an infinity loop that can be knit according to the length you like best. The scarf is created in a variety of textured stitch patterns with a supporting staff of cables.

The scarf is free until Dec 26th, with the coupon code RORY. Be sure to download the clues even if you are not knitting immediately. On the 26th of December,  pattern will be inactive so that designer can amalgamate all the clues and add some pictures. When it returns to ravelry store it will be for a fee.

When you download the pdf has instructions for the cast on so that you can be ready for the first clue. 

One colour will show off the stitch patterns best but a gradient would look lovely as well. Lighter colours will show the textural stitches to their full effect.

The cast on number will vary according to the length you love. Some like a single loop to be cozy to their neck, and some like a loop much longer to wrap a few times around the neck.

The pattern repeat is 80 stitches and the gauge of 6 sts to the inch will produce the following.
160 sts= 26 inch loop
240 sts= 40 inch loop
320 sts= 53 inch loop
400 sts= 66 inch loop
You will need a circular needle long enough to hold the number of stitches cast on.

We will be knitting this year’s Advent scarf in Ravelry group, Zemy’s Deck Do join us there!

Here comes 12 days of Christmas!

This Twelve Days of Knitmas Mystery Knit-Along(MKAL) is our FIFTH annual let’s-spend-this-awkward-post-holiday-time-knitting-together-and-shaking-off-the-stress-of-the-season MKAL.

Simply put, it is a free twelve-day mystery knit-along full of fun and friendship, and at the end of it, you have a beautiful project to gift or keep.

How do we get the clues?


Since you’re already here, go ahead and grab this pattern - it’s free!

Next, click here to sign up for the emails. This is where all the magic happens, including tutorials, freebies, and discounts from Nomadic Knits and our collaborators.

Signing up for the emails is the best way to receive each day’s clue as soon as it is released. While the emails go out around 4 AM EST each day, clues are released daily on Ravelry around 7 or 8 AM EST. (It’s later than the email updates because it has to be released manually, which requires me to be awake)

Clues are released daily beginning on December 26th.

Where can I participate?

We’ll be hanging out in our Facebook group and would love for you to join us there! We have a wonderfully kind community where all are welcome.


Share posts on Instagram using #twelvedaysofknitmasmkal, and you’ll be eligible to win prizes there, too. (Your profile must be public for us to see the pictures.)

Can you give us any hints?
