Giftalong 2019: General Chit-Chat

[Kay]

Hello ambitious gift-knitting friends! This is the topic where we can chat to our hearts’ content about holiday knitting for 2019.

Our 2019 gift-along starts on Wednesday, October 23, and our post on that day will have all the details re: projects and prizes.

This year we will also have knitalong teams for people knitting projects from four different MDK Field Guides. Each team has a topic in the Lounge, so they can talk among themselves about the projects they are knitting. Feel free to join any or all of the Teams. The more teams you post to, the more prizes you’re eligible for.

FUN TIMES AHEAD! Happy holidays!

Love, Kay and Ann

Weeee​:hugs: I am ready!!

[Gailm521]

How do we join a team?

[kcknits]

Hi @Gailm521! You’re in a Team when you post something (question, comment, wip, FO,…) to that Team’s topic; BIG JOY, SOCKS, and/or MERRY MAKING Enjoy & have fun!!

[Kay]

Yes! It’s that easy! I’m joining ALL THE TEAMZ

[kcknits]

Uhhh, I think you have already started!!

[Patti_Z]

Let’s get ready to rumble! Not sure what I am doing, but I have a hankering for some socks, maybe a sweet shawl and a hat or two…time to rummage thru the stash!

What if I’ve already begun an X-Factor cowl? Does the Giftalong require a fresh start?

[Kay]

Nope! If you’re knitting it for the holidays, it counts.

[stushaus]

In that case, I’m Team Everything, and this is my X-Factor Cowl! It’s a yak merino blend held double and the squish is real. There’s one small mistake but I don’t mind.

[kcknits]

Oooo looks sooo soft😍 luv how you’re using your keyboard!!

[stushaus]

Thanks, it is!! I use my keyboard for its intended purpose…sometimes

[REKerr19438]

Hats. Hats. Hats. All the grand-kids are getting hats

[stushaus]

Team Downtown, maybe? The X-Factor Cowl is coming along.

A bit of a cheat bc this is a gift for myself (and my cat?) But im knitting a nine patch blanket with takhi donegal tweed and shelter. #teamlogcabin ftw!

[kcknits]

Looks sooo pretty😻

[cbshiffman]

Gorgeous! #mdkteamlogcabin is officially a thing. Teams of one (plus cat) most welcome.

[nellknits]

Happy MDK Anniversary!

[cbshiffman]

Ha! Is that what the little slice of cake meant? Now I want a REAL slice of cake. xoc

[Kay]

This is simply gorgeous. You are making me want to cast on a Ninepatch RIGHT NOW (which is something I have no business doing at this moment). Love x1000!
