Mystery Knit Along Instructions (New Instructions - NOW!!!!)

[sparklingbutterfly]

Mystery Knit Along

A mystery knit along is where you knit along as a group but do not know what you are knitting. I would post a portion of the pattern and you knit those instructions, then wait for the next instructions. The patterns will be simple so that knitters of all experiences will be able to participate.

Most knitalongs you would usually use stash yarn as you do not know what you are knitting. You also do not have to knit in the colour that is stated (if any)

Instructions will be posted every two weeks this is changable if I think that it is needed

Yup, you remembered correctly. US 8 = 5 mm = Imperial 6 according to my needle measure-thingy. 3nodding

I wonder if I've got 5 mm needles... Time to raid my sisters needle jar blaugh

How much worsted weight yarn would we need?  

[AriRashkae]

I think we're supposed to use stash yarn, so not all are going to be the same color.  

[x_dreamweaver_x]

This sounds like fun, hooray!

Now, to see if I have any worsted weight yarn...  

[Story From The Stars]

Oooh! I've got LOTS of worsted weight yarn and my 8s are free too!  

[SaelensFrozenFlame]

Mrrr...i've got a ton of spare yarn...i'll have to get size 8 needles though...unless i can modify the pattern to work with my size 7s...(I only have three sets of needles. 7s, 10s, and a set of circulars.)

I think we're supposed to use stash yarn, so not all are going to be the same color.

I just want to know approximate yardage. Do I want to be using a full skein or would a partial one do?  

[sparklingbutterfly]

A full skein will work better  

[DecemberFlower]

Alrighty, I think I'll dig through my stash and find a stray skein I'll never use for anything else. xp
