Beyond BOBBOL in 2015

Hi {!name_fix}, Happy new year! We are going Beyond BOBBOL again in 2015 with projects tailored to appetizer portions of unique stitches and techniques made easy with KnitHeartStrings extra hand-holding KAL’s. Even if you already know how, I think you will find the projects fun (and who knows, you might even pick up a tip or trick along the way).

Each month’s KAL project will be selected with a focus on building skills in bit-sized steps. Some projects will be lace and some not. Some will be beads and some not. Some will go beyond lace and beads to try new things in other areas. There will be something for everyone.

To celebrate the new year, we'll be kicking off BOBBOL 2015 with a brand new, never before offered pattern in the HeartStrings pattern collections: Lace Embellished Towel shown above. Turn an ordinary towel into something extraordinary. Whether for yourself or a gift for someone else, this lace-edged towel will have a special place in the heart and home.

Pattern Availability and Shopping List: Check the Next Up KAL page in the Knit-A-Longs area of the KnitHeartStrings site for the schedule of when Lace Embellished Towel pattern will be available with special offers for KnitHeartStrings member. The Shopping List is available there NOW so you can meantime get your materials and supplies ready to knit when the KAL begins January 20th.

REMINDER - LAST DAY to pick up and use your special offers at KnitHeartStrings for the Knitted Snowflakes December KAL patterns. Be sure to be logged in with your membership info to see your best offer.
