| There ain’t no party like a Scollayalong party!

Those taking part in the Scollayalong with myself and Isla from BritYarn will remember that we had a very chatty Scollayalong party to mark the cast on date. We are excited to announce that we will be having another little virtual knitting hour this Friday from 7.30pm. We will be on twitter and Instagram, and you can also chat in the group on Ravelry. The chat group is on tour this week in the BritYarn group, but on Friday the chat will be in the KnitBritish group.

If you are taking part in the KAL then use the hashtag #Scollayalong in all your tweets and IGs and join us for the chat. I am sure there will be much hilarity again as Isla and I host a hangout in three different places at the same time!

There will also be peeps at the Scollayalong KAL prizes too, during the #Scollayalong hour and so do join in to catch a look at what you could win.

Not taking part, but want to? You can still join in. Drop me a DM on Ravelry (I’m Leira) and I will add you to the (now locked) sign up thread and you can then knit like billy-o to finish with us on 25th September – it is so doable! (she says, whilst her own Scollay has lain untouched the entire weekend!).

The finished object thread is in the KnitBritish group on Ravelry. Please post your pictures in there of your finished cardi and you may win a prize!
