I've never been interested in knitalongs before, mostly because of the time constraints and the competitive elements. But, having got all the advent stuff out of the way, I found myself in knitting limbo. Someone was starting a mystery mitten, one "clue" to be unveiled every three days. She's a designer whose other items I rather like, but this one is turning out most peculiar. Too many different techniques in one item. Half of stitches are knitted with two strands held together. With J& S 2ply jumper weight, and size 3mm needles, this makes for tough knitting here, and sloppy stranded colourway on the other half. There is a maxim in stage management "never book an act you haven't seen" ( that brings back some awful memories!), so I don't think I will be doing any more knitalongs if I can't see a photo of the finished object by gathering the clues together. Which probably defeats the whole object!
