Day 20: sign up

ok, so here it is the sign up for the Mystery KAL.

If you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, then you obviously haven't been hanging out where all the cool kids do; over in my cool gang group on Ravelry. ;)

So here's roughly how it all goes.

The Mystery KAL is a Knit-a-long with a difference.  You don't know what it is you're knitting, all you do know is the size you're knitting and that it is a child's garment. In the sign up you get to elect whether you want to knit a girl or boy garment.

About once a week, you will receive a small section of the pattern to knit. Slowly over the course of the KAL as you get each additional piece your garment will grow until you have a completed piece that hopefully, you will love!! Can you tell I'm a bit nervous about that bit!!!

Finer details

• sign up is free.
• the garment is knit in dk/8ply weight yarn on 4mm needles with a tension of 22 stitches over 4 inches/10cm. 
• the garment is suitable for wool, cotton or blends.
• best yarn choice is solid or semi-solid, if you choose a variegated, I would suggest one that is similar in tones or colour.
• both garments I would consider easy intermediate knits, featuring basic increasing and decreasing, yos, longtail castons, circular knitting, simple cables, hmm, that's all I can think of at the moment.
• I shall add more approximate yardages in the next few days but to give you a rough idea it ranges between about 300 -500 yards.
• Sizes covered will range from 6months up to 10 years, and correspond to the usual sizings I use.
• Signups will remain open for one week.
• A few days after the week is up, you will receive and email to a link to a pdf file, which will be the first step of the KAL.  
• Thereafter, I will post here and on my Rav group when the pdf has been updated.  I will aim to send an email as well, but it would be a good idea to follow my blog so you can keep up to date with any KAL news. :) (It's a nice blog to read anyway :P) 
• places are limited; but I'd be totally surprised if we hit the limit this form gives us, for sure. 

Any questions?

Fire away!!!!

ETA: Sign up now closed... a few more spots later this afternoon!
