Beyond BOBBOL in 2014

Hi {!name_fix} - It's been a great year because of you. Thank you for making BOBBOL 2013 so successful and I hope you will continue to knit along for Beyond BOBBOL in 2014!

Just in case you lost track of time (where does it go?!), reme,ber to download December's KAL pattern for Lace Doily Beret while it is still free thru Dec 31st (be sure to be logged in with your member username to see the free download button).

To get a sneak peek at the 2014 Beyond BOBBOL pattern for January - I Heart Filet Lace - see Next Up KAL. I hope you will be joining us to learn and knit filet lace.

PSSST ... Premium members get early access to the January KAL pattern! Check the Premium Area for your coupon code to deliver the pattern free to your Ravelry library now.

Please read this important information to get the most out of your membership:

- Members at the Free or Trial level can download January's Beyond BOBBOL KAL pattern for free Jan 5 - 25, 2014, but you will need to upgrade after that to get the monthly free pattern.

- Want to continue to get a KAL pattern for free each month throughout 2014? I've set up a new mid-tier Basic Level level at KnitHeartStrings where you can do that! Upgrade before January 25th and lock in to a discount of $5 a year off the regular price. Or consider the Premium Level for extra benefits.

- Don't worry if you can't/don't want to upgrade now -- Free Level members still get free access to member articles and will have the option to purchase the monthly KAL pattern at a discount.

Wrapping up this year's BOBBOL focus on beads, it's almost time to draw the winner of December's Giveaway. It is a Special Edition kit with beautiful combo of yarn and 2 colors of beads. See details and how to win on the Prize Giveaway page.

Wishing you a happy and blessed New Year, Jackie E-S
