Ambah's Summer Solstice 2024: This or That MKAL

Join Ambah in June 2024 for her annual June Solstice Knit-along (KAL). 

The pattern will go on sale June 1, 2024.

First Clue is June 14, 2024.

A “choose your own” Mystery Knit along (MKAL).
This or That begins with a choice between your preferred shape, Shawl or Wrap, followed by clues presented weekly over four weeks. Both the Shawl and Wrap will follow the same design/stitch patterns; only the shape will differ. Each of the clues will offer a choice between Path A or Path B. Follow Path A or Path B for a standalone design with each clue flowing into the next. Or mix it up as each choice is presented to you; start with Path A or B, then work Path B or A and so on. Some clues will provide two choices along the way, a total of six “A or B” decisions to make. With This or That, the adventure is all yours.
