Rose City Mystery Crochet and/or Knit a Long.

Mystery Knit- and Crochet-Along

Attention all knitters, crocheters, Portland, Oregon yarn fans, folks coming to the 2014 Rose City Yarn Crawl, and anyone who likes a good mystery-along!

We are excited to announce that, as a part of the 2014 Rose City Yarn Crawl, there will be both a Mystery Knit-along AND a Mystery Crochet-along. We’ve teamed up with two fabulous local designers, Michele Bernstein the knitter and Laurinda Reddig the crocheter, and we couldn’t be happier with what they’ve come up with for us. Two very different and very Portland designs.

The patterns are being sold through Ravelry, but even if you're not a member, you can purchase them and get updates. If you're not a member, you may want to consider joining – it's a fantastic resource for all crafty folk.

This are the colors we are going to do ours in. These hanks of Cascade Heritage Silk in Strawberry Creme and Pastel Mix. We love this silky yarn, and its sweet price!!  We will be using this one for the Crochet.  For the Knit Along, we are using  Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in Old Rose and Avalon.

We will have two small Mystery Knit/Crochet a long groups at our classroom table. Thursday at 11:30 until ? for downtown worker-bees wishing to take a lunch hour here.

And on Saturday from 11:00-5:00 for those who wish to enjoy ending the day with us.

Angelika’s is located at 1975 SW 1st Ave (Portland Center Plaza)…cross streets are SW Lincoln & SW Harrison.
