The eat.sleep.knit Yarnathon has reset for 2018 with an Under the Sea theme! If you haven’t participated before you can jump in anytime. I love playing along with the challenges throughout the year. The creativity and hard work that is involved behind the scenes is incredible.
Team Dolphiknot
I’ve been a Stitchosaur, a Fleecy Fox, a Whalien, and a Cocoa Cub before being assigned to the Dolphiknot pod.
Q1 KAL
Throughout the year there are knit-alongs and projects to work on to complete to earn yardage and badges. The first KAL is to knit a Tin Can Knits pattern. My plan is to knit a Bonny using Madelinetosh Prairie in Nassau Blue. The yarn photographed more blue than the greeny-teal it is.
Under the Sea Yarn
Along with the theme, there are exclusive colorways. I welcomed a skein of Single Silky Targhee in Sea Witch to the stash with the intention of knitting a Captiva wrap.
Do you play in the Yarnathon?
I’ve never heard of yarnathons before – sounds fun! I’m currently knitting up a project with the Malabrigo Silky Merino and absolutely love working with it.
Oh my, those yarns are amazing!
If only I knew that I had that much time this year to devote to knitting…yarnathon looks fun! Love both of these yarns and the patterns that you have picked for each look like lovely pairings – look forward to seeing the FOs.
