Electron Jump

Join UP North Yarns and me for a fun shawl knitalong inspired by chemistry! We’ll be knitting in a fun Facebook group from December 1 through January 31st, and we’ll have plenty of prizes!

Photos are shown in grayscale until December 15th to retain the mystery of UP North’s Elemental Advent Kit. You don’t have to use the kit to knit with us; go stash diving, dig out all of those beautiful minis you’ve been collecting, or use up a bunch of sock leftovers. Join us! It’ll be lots of fun!
