When Does It Start?
Feb. 29, 2020: Clues will be given at 9am, 11, am, 1pm, 3pm, and 5pm EST.
For this make-along we are giving you two hours for each clue. That does not mean that you will need all two hours to complete each section. We know that the Game Day was a HUGE event and wanted to give you a little more breathing room with this event.
How to Participate
This page is where you will need to come for each clue. At the start of each clue hour I will update the information below with the new link. Each link will take you to a page with that section of the pattern.
Join the Marly’s Minions on Facebook and you can post your pictures there, get updates, and chat along with everyone else that is making the project!
Clues will be linked below!
Knitting 11am <– Click Here! If you printed this pattern prior to 12:30pm 1-29-2-, please get the revised version. There was a fix in the sleeve count for the larger size when adding markers for the raglan.
🌟Marly will be going live in the Marly’s Minions group at 11:30am to show how to do the Pick Up and Knit as well as how to join to work in the round. If you have questions about those parts be sure to join her there.
I’ve shared in lots of the groups I’m in and people are “leaping” with excitement!! It’s great you’re collaborating with others so you don’t have to work so hard and come up with two designs!!
