WOO HOO! It's Here! Our 2025 Mystery Knit Along (MKAL) Starts Now with Clue 1 of the Purport Shawl!

[@ewakraft5770]

❣️Advise it is a 8 repeat. Make 8 stitch markers in round 10 repeat and keep it in. (Stitchmarker 6 stitches, stitchmarker) (Or in round 16 at least) It makes the knitting so easy and joyful 🤩

[@deborahmahn6007]

Chandi, watched you knit with the long circular needles was very interesting. I have always wondered about the magic loop knitting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@faithamondi5139]

Am so excited to start this year MKAL i missed out last year after a long illness but now am back on my feet and ready to start this year with alot of energy. Thanks chandy always looking forward for your crochet and knitting projects.

[@judithsmith5392]

I use magic loop for everything! My thumbs no longer will tolerate straight needles so even for flat projects I always use cabled needles

[@teresaanderson9119]

I love your instructions as you knit! Thank you!

[@Xx_Lara2323_xX]

Thank you! I love your videos! ❤️😊 this will be my first time doing this! ❤️

[@ewakraft5770]

Thanks i looking forward to this Mkal❣️🤩. I will learn more in knitting and in a foreign language. 🤪

[@ewakraft5770]

❤ 🎉Yeah finished clue 1 in one sitting. Forgott to eat lol. It is so pretty especially the yo k2tog pattern. Oasis camel silk yarn is my favorite. You made me so happy❣️

[@elizabethlussier4423]

wow!!! I will do it but on my own ( I do one project at a time) thank you for all your patterns and help... my goal is to do them all...

[@EvieO1950]

Thinking of joining in for the first time this year. Checking to see if I can use the Expression Fiber Arts yarn I have already!! Thanks for all you do to inspire us!!!🧶♥️🧶

[@BrendaCHughes]

I did both MKAL and MCAL and I used the yarn which was in my stash, which was Expression Fiber Arts yarn. I think for this you just have to make sure it is fingering weight yarn. I am planning on using All Good Things which I bought in the Black Friday sale

[@theastewart6721]

Lovely Chandi!

[@snobunni426]

This looks interesting and fun! I hope each clue comes out to get the yarn needed at the same time the Zodiac series is released so I can buy it all at once. Thanks for giving two color way options! This will be my first mkal with Expressions Fiber, hopefully this will be easy enough for me :)

[@DanielWSonntag]

The mkals are fun because we are doing it together ❤

[@demimorest963]

YaY! Ready to get going on this new project! Happy New Year!

[@ellenweigold4408]

Love your hair. Going to give it a try.

[@michelleday397]

This looks so doable. Yea! Your needles are very long, I really like them. I didn’t know there was an option for wired needles with longer needles. They seem like they would be easier to hold.

[@davidhensley76]

No magic loop for me. DPNs all the way!

[@kharizma-ps]

Love those longer circular needles, wondering where to get some???😉

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You can either get an interchangeable needle set which comes with different cord length at your local yarn store or online or just a fixed circular needle which is at least 32" or 40" long.

[@brendacarter1574]

Look forward to this new MKAL🎉

[@Elnora-i6e]

I want to participate. This looks like fun!!!😊

[@amp9763]

Beautiful, I'm participating🧶

[@Elnora-i6e]

Hi. This is going to be fun! What length cable would you suggest? I'm going to use the Magic Loop method. Thanks 😊

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I'd say at least 32", a lot of people also like 40". 💕

[@Elnora-i6e]

@ExpressionFiberArts Thank you. I'm ordering today!!! ☺️

[@nasrin.ashraf3665]

Can I start with any yarn that I have?

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Yes, you precisely! 💕

[@lisacook8504]

Oh my goodness, I'm pretty sure my brain just exploded! 🤣

[@RebeccaChamberlain-no2qj]

I've tried magic loop with socks but had a laddering problem on the ends. I know how to prevent that with dpns but not with magic loop

[@gmpalmertree]

This looks like fun! Do you have a crochet along as well?

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Yes, it was announced today. You can find it here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/connote-2025-mcal-mystery-crochet-along.html

[@florab6970]

Will there be a MCAL this year? I might sign up. Never done one, lol, but there's a 1at for everything.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Yes, we announced it today. You can find it here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/connote-2025-mcal-mystery-crochet-along.html

[@rdm9336]

I have a question before joining. I see the 2 colorways and both contain blue to varying degrees. I am not a fan of blue. When the project gets to that portion will there be non-blue recommendations that will still make a nice looking project?

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You will get a better understanding of the color palette looking at the inspiration pictures provided in this facebook post from yesterday: facebook.com/expressionfiberarts/posts/pfbid02TwCGZrsaa3snidRCcwbp21N5dxzkMviSJp1jkdiyPuRfsr2VBGAyZrESAXP927pGl From what I can tell from those the colors will be more in the blue family for the MKAL, if that's not what you imagined I'd say go ahead and make your own palette choosing 12 colors that match. I'm sorry I don't have a better solution than that. 💕

[@SomayaMohamed-f2f]

i love you so much

[@Shettikka-s9v]

GM 🌅 blessings 🙏🏾🫶🏾☕ ☕ awesome

[@bessvanden2728]

How do I download the pattern?

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Hi Bess, thanks for your comment. You can download the pattern here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/purport-2025-mkal-mystery-knit-along.html The link is usually also given in the description box below the tutorial. Enjoy! 💕

[@margaretmetcalfe9380]

Am I correct in thinking only knitters in America are eligible to win the competition.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

No that's not right. Please visit our Ravelry post here: www.ravelry.com/discuss/expression-fiber-arts/4343653/1-25 All questions should be answered there. 🩷

[@BrendaCHughes]

I live in the UK and other people from around the world participate, I have never seen anything saying that only people in America are eligible to win. I have done them for the past 2 years, on both the MKAL, MCAL and the other ones which are put on during the year.
