Looking for some fun with your knitting? Want a surprise?
Join our wildly popular Mystery Dishcloth Knit-a-Long!
New to Knit-a-Longs? Here are some answers to the most common questions:
What is a Knit-a-Long?
A Knit-a-Long (also called a KAL) is where many people all knit the same pattern during the same time period.
How does it work?
This KAL is a Mystery Dishcloth KAL. Each one begins on a Monday, and for five days you will be emailed a portion of a dishcloth pattern. You won’t know what the design will look like until it’s finished, although I will give you hints about the theme of the cloth and good colors to use.
Will it always be a dishcloth pattern?
Yes, for now, that’s all I design.

The mystery washcloth knit-a-long is wonderful! It takes about 20 minutes to complete the design of 10 rows. Such a wonderful break in the day, The cloths are a perfect size! The surprise element of the mystery design revealing itself is also fun!

Emily’s patterns are very easy and beautiful.the squares all fit together to make blankets of any size or just give the dishcloth away for a quick and easy gift. Remember to keep some for yourself.
Solange Keller –
I totally enjoy these KALs and the surprise element is an added bonus.
Thank you for your dedication to providing new patterns for us.
My favourites of 2020 were the Flip Flops and the JOY one. I liked that it was a diagonal word and not straight across.
Most months someone really admires the pattern and they get it as a gift.

Thank you for having an inspiring knit along for us. I love the surprise and the ideas that are shared. I plan on using a blanket type yarn so when I have enough I can connect them and make a blanket with them. It is fun to see how everyones comes out. Thanks again.
